The Resume

    (1939- )
    Advertise Wrigley's Doublemint gum
    First appeared on billboards (1939)
    First twins in TV commercials were Jayne & Joan Boyd (1956)
    Later twins included June & Patricia Mackrell, Patricia & Cybil Barnstable, Denise & Dian Gallup, Cynthia & Brittany Daniel, Tia & Tamara Mowry, Heidi & Alissa Kramer, Jean & Elizabeth Sagal, and Natalie & Nicole Garza

Why they might be annoying:

    The Boyd twins were replaced after Joan got pregnant (1963).
    The Mackrell twins also moonlighted as Toni Twins for Toni home perms.
    Despite the product they advertised, company president Philip K. Wrigley banned the Doublemint twins from chewing gum in public.

Why they might not be annoying:

    After their run of commercials, the Barnstable twins were asked to pose for 'Playboy.'
    Said Bill Hicks, 'When I see those twins on that Doublemint commercial, I'm not thinking of gum. I am thinking of chewing. Maybe that's the connection they're trying to make.'
    Wrigley hired Chris Brown to introduce Doublemint's new thinner Plen-T-Pack package, only to drop him following his assault arrest, demonstrating the dangers of not sticking with the twins.
