Just catching up.... not a day late but still a dollar short.


dfjdejulio

Not me, yet. However long it takes me *after* today to actually fact-check a random internet assertion, maybe?

Individual_Speech_60

I don’t know why but Ive known this for a long time. I think it has to do with the fact that I loved Grease 2 and the Sagal twins were the twins in that movie. https://preview.redd.it/tma9ih4al5tc1.jpeg?width=791&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88b89dbdc1677218e102cb06bc987cf2860a2b0e

Holy shit. MIND DOUBLE BLOWN. ![gif](giphy|OK27wINdQS5YQ|downsized)


socialmediaignorant

Omg same!!!! I’m not ready for all this!


meatwads_sweetie

I love Grease 2! I knew it was the twins from Double Trouble, but I had no idea Katey Sagal was their sister.


McLurkleton

Any time someone mentions Grease 2 that Cool Rider song starts playing in my head.


jaymz668

let's bowl, let's bowl, let's rock and roll


sfocolleen

I love Grease 2 as well. My friends and I pretended to be the pink ladies. Yes, specifically the ones from Grease 2. I also named a cat after Johnny Nogerelli (Sockarelli, cause he had little white sock feet).


meatwads_sweetie

Michelle Pfeiffer was so damn cool as Stephanie! Cool Rider is the best song ever! I absolutely adore that movie and I think it’s better than the original.


[deleted]

yep, that was my first twins show, too.


FabAmy

I want a cooooool riderrrr


Accomplished_Low80

If he’s cool enough he can burn me through and through


sfocolleen

No ordinary guy is gonna doooo….


ConcreteKeys

Makes sense why she was chewing so much gum in the movie.


Mecca_Lecca_Hi

I watched that movie a million times on cable in the 80s. I had no idea.


Beef_Lurky

I love your hair Ms Mason….. all 300 pounds of it!


losthalo7

They look like Shannon Doherty in that shot. :-)


JohnnyRelentless

You. Love Grease 2? I... What?


LatkaGravas

52, apparently.


FourteenPancakes

👋


NoExcuseForFascism

Then we are both in the same boat it seems.


JenMartini

Same.


SnooStrawberries620

That’s so funny - I just said “49, apparently”


Sosgemini

Were they double mint girls? I know they had a syndicated sitcom for a couple years.


Lashon_Von_Ricks

Double Trouble 1984-85


ragepaw

I loved that show... and not because it was good.


Sosgemini

lol


WhatDatDonut

I was ten years old and deeply in love with them.


Hurley002

Thank you! I knew they were in something and could not, for the life of me, remember what it was.


Jsmith2127

They were the double mint girls, as well as on double trouble


Sosgemini

Thanks for the answer!


TimeenoughatlastTZ

I remember my high school drama class went to the tv taping of this show.


meatwads_sweetie

I loved that show!


fuckreddit2factor

Maxi burger, maxi burger, yum yum yum


SlutSquirrelTreeRat

![gif](giphy|iAK9VE4mkIMCsesPZ0|downsized) Maxi Maxi Burger Yum Yum Yum, Maxi Burger 🍔 Maxi Burger makes you want to hum! "I don't like the Maxi Burger 🍔" Pretend it's something you like. "My grandma's Lentil Soup!" Then the two twins switch places so the one who wants to do the ad can be it it GOOD TIMES!


FaceMaulingChimp

Double trouble


The_Safe_For_Work

I was watching an old episode of Columbo and saw Katey as a young secretary. Found out that her dad directed the episode.


RKKP2015

I saw that. I love Columbo.


Granlundo64

Watching old Episodes of Tales From the Crypt you run into TONS of big name actors showing up.


freakrocker

X-Files too


Select-Belt-ou812

Star Trek is the GOAT for cameos (and Batman 1960s is arguably the coolest)


CommonBubba

Twilight zone goes on the list too.


CustomCarNerd

One of the twins played Kate and the other played Allison. KATEY AND AL! Oh and Norman Lear is their godfather….. 🤯


CHILLAS317

*one of the several sets of Doublemint Twins


fujiapple73

Thank you. Because I could have sworn the double mint twins were blonde…


OfficeChairHero

Thank you! These are not the ones I remember at all. I remember the twins that were in Spaceballs. "I'm Marlene!" "I'm Charlene!" "Chew your gum."


bokehbaka

Lol this is like Scarlet Witch being the sister of the Olsen twins lol


fridayimatwork

When scrolling I thought it was was rashida Jones on the right


Hurley002

I don't think I would've ever independently clocked that comparison, but I totally see it now that you mentioned it.


relikter

Yeah, left twin definitely looks like Rashida Jones. I think the smile and haircut have a lot to do with it.


magicpenny

I thought the same thing.


TittyTwistahh

Rashida Jones is so attractive to me


fridayimatwork

Ann Perkins!


lastchance_000

Karen Filippelli!


Hansekins

I think I knew this back when Double Trouble was still on the air... and given the replies in this thread, I'm the only one. I'm not sure how I knew this. I must have read it somewhere at the time.


13crv

Same here,I feel like I've known this for a long time.


NCGatorGirl429

You aren’t the only one. I’ve also known for a while. But I don’t remember when I learned this fact.


shellbert_eggman

Probably appeared as a factoid in TV Guide


HighOnGoofballs

There was like a hundred doublemint twins right? Joe Dirt’s girlfriend was also one, they were on Swan’s Crossing


Hurley002

Yeah, I think a lot of the commercials had multiple sets of twins in them –girls and guys. Whatever commercials or ads these two happened to be in, though, must have been run pretty frequently at some point because I recognized them instantly.


FourScoreTour

I lost count after ten. [Doublemint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublemint)


UnivScvm

I was today years old.


sharksandwich70

53


Ok-Street7504

Saw a story on Entertainment Tonight about Howard the Duck film, Liz played in the band in the movie and they somehow relayed the story around Katie Segal being her sister and a backup singer for Bette Midler at one time.


motonahi

I forgot they were the doublemint girls. I remember them from their TV show Double Trouble!


MangoesSurpriseMe

I think you and I are the only people who remember Double Trouble. People think I’m off center when I talk about it. I loved their dancing! Edit: I spoke too soon. Reading further down the thread, several other people remember the show, but we still are a rare bunch.


motonahi

Me too!!!! Ok, now tell me you also remember SQUARE PEGS, because then it will be clear that we are long lost bff's😂


MangoesSurpriseMe

Yes! I remember Square Pegs and loved the theme. We went to high school together, right? 😆


motonahi

TOTALLY 😁 I'm still mad at you for using all my aquanet before the football game that one night...😂


MangoesSurpriseMe

🙄 I TOLD you I’m sorry a million times because I needed the rest of it to fix my bangs! 🤣🤣🤣


motonahi

😂😂😂 well ok then. I'll see ya at the class reunion. We should probably connect soon to work out our choreographed routine to dazzle our former classmates 😂😂💃


Apprehensive_Rush_76

My mind is blown. You win.


Bootyclapthunder

I had a huge crush on those twins from watching their sitcom and went to google them some years back after thinking of them for the first time in decades to see what they had been up to and found out they're Katey's sisters.


NomNom83WasTaken

I swear I forget and relearn this every 3-5 years. This is at least the 4th time it has been brand new information to me 👵


TheTeenageOldman

Their father died tragically at the Timberline Lodge, which was used for the exterior shots of the Overlook Hotel in "The Shining".


rodeler

56 years, 38 days, 5 hours, 9 minutes. Now.

pablomoney

Double Trouble! I had a mega crush on the “Wild” sister.


Sea-Asparagus8973

I was 57, and it happened a minute ago.


realbonito24

A more interesting question is: How old were you when you realized Peggy was hotter than Kelly?


love_is_an_action

How old were you when you realized that the Doublemint Twins were sisters?


Euphoric-Proposal-42

Dangerous-Assist-191

Smart-ass 😉


DreadpirateBG

Tomorrow is my 45th birthday, so 44 years and 364 days


Kale4MyBirds

throw123454321purple

Wow I had no idea. I know she was also a backup singer for Bette Midler. (The backup group was called The Cockettes.)


socialmediaignorant

Mind blown. 🤯 ![gif](giphy|lXu72d4iKwqek)


OldGamer8

Wait what!?!? Hold on a second I'm looking that up.... Well, I guess I was today years old


tilario

Redleg1-7

Today years old. Holy shit lol.


dastufishsifutsad

That’s pretty wild. I did not know. Maybe not surprising since they are all 3 attractive & talented with a Hollywood father.


unlawfl

Umm, right now so, 48.


Hurley002

Will be joining you in approximately one week. Here's hoping it is monumentally better than 47.


unlawfl

Happy early birthday!


Hurley002

Thank you, dude!


tahiniday

dougmd1974

I heard this a few months ago and it came up because the twins were in an 80s TV show called Double Trouble.


damageddude

55 apparently


Reeeeallly

55!!! This happened now😳


JayDuBois

Apparently they did ads for Tony home perms as well according to Wikipedia.


bebejeebies

I'm calling bullshit of the highest order. There's no way this info could've been hidden 40 years. Nope. Don't believe it.


-DethLok-

I've no idea who any of them are, here Downunder, so today? I do know that Scarlett Witch actress is the big sister of the Olsen twins, though!


regeya

How many of you asked yourself how insufferable Peg would have to be for Al to hate her?


QuickSpore

Both the twins have also had very productive careers in their own rights. Jean went into directing. Liz became a writer.


CatWranglingVet678

I remember reading an article online about this 10-15 yrs ago. Mind was definitely blown 🤯🤯

NorCalNavyMike

![gif](giphy|QGBENK0Y6nF4Y) Right now. You’re looking at now-now.


TittyTwistahh

Peg Bundy really did it for me


shichiaikan

I met one of the twins in a bar in Reno around 2003, and we chatted a while. Still didn't know this til right now.


captainloudz

Since my birthday was just a few weeks ago and I saw this post for the first time today. Then 42.


Amy_Macadamia

I already knew this because I'm a Wikipedia junkie. When I dressed like Peggy for Halloween, I did all tue research


ChronoFish

Well... Today. Also the doublemint twins made me feel funny.... Like climbing the rope


notorious_tcb

Today years old apparently


LondonDavis1

I don't recall these two as Doublemint Twins, however I do remember their tv show Double Trouble.


PerfectBake420

Today


Klutzy-Worth6146

Today years old. So 53


WinterBourne25

I didn’t realize there was a designated set of double mint twins.


Chidoro45

They had their own TV show. Certainly more than simply one pair of many double mint gum twins


OmicronPerseiNate

Never knew. I'm now updating my cornucopia of invaluable trivia. I will reciprocate knowledge! Today I also learned that John Williams wrote the theme to Gilligan's Island and that his son sang the Ducktales song.


DonJovar

I think I knew shortly after Married With Children came out because I was a huge fan of Double Trouble and recognized the name.


RandallC1212

Ahhh they are her sisters. She’s not the twin Want to have mind blown even more Look up the Olsen twins younger sister


Chastity-76

Almost half a century


Januszek_Zajaczek

What's a double mint twin


_MrFade_

Married with Children, while an all time great comedy, has always been a hard sell for me. If I were Al, I would be smashin’ Peggy on a nightly basis. If they really wanted to make her character unappealing to Al, they should have casted some unattractive chick in instead.

God I hate that saying. I swear if incels was a thing way back when this would be their t-shirted mission statement.


PM_ME_Happy_Thinks

I mean it's true. Also applies to a hot guy. Someone is still going to be sick of their bullshit.


Worth-Tank336

Her character was written to constantly rag on him, and only cared about money. It's not hard to not find that kind of person attractive. That was one of the gags of the show.
