Doubles
This is a general discussion thread on a Trinidad & Tobago topic: Doubles. Feel free to give any input about Doubles.
After the recent budget announcement the big worry of many is whether they will pay $5 for doubles.
Now let me first say that I do not eat doubles. It is one of the most unhealthy things you can eat because:
1. It is usually sold by people on the street next to drains where people cough and rodents / insects frequent
2. It is made with hydrogenated oils which is basically liquid plastic
3. No one eats one doubles and if you are going to eat 2-3 why not get something healthier that is more filling like apples, bananas or watermelon.
Back to the price hike. Trinis need to understand that they control prices not vendors. If you do not want to pay $5 for doubles then do not buy it! You will see how quickly the price will come back down.
I was very upset when I heard people complaining about the prices of doubles. Freaking seriously? You have children with special needs with no proper schools, elderly being abused, young children being raped, drugs everywhere and YET the only SERIOUS concern is about a piece of fried flour with channa?
RIDICULOUS.
