When I was just a lad we used to have a delicious peppermint flavoured sweet called Pacers. They were the same size and shape as an Opal Fruit but, and here is the key- they had stripes on ‘em!

Green and white stripes!

I have no idea how they did it, in fact they don’t make them any more so perhaps the guy who knew died. I’d love to show you a photo of the things, but there’s none on the internet so you’ll have to make do with this artist’s impression.

I only mention Pacers because the other day I saw not just one, but two pairs of stripy shoes right next to each other the other day. That’s four shoes total, all with stripes！What are the odds of that? Must be a million to one.
