4-5 is the limit for a majority of ppl -at least on the spot. so 6 would be for only a few ppl.

now that is a masterstroke marketing. set the 'high water' mark at 6 and people thinking 4 is a reasonable number. men would feel like they short selling themselves to order just 1.

4 doubles on the spot is mad people scene. most regular people will hit 2 regular doubles and have to write off lunch after that. 3 is only possible with them whimpy tiny thin bara with 2-grain watery channa doubles.

not that there is anything wrong with children doubles. it is for children, the children

It was a marketing gimmick and it worked.



If you don't want to lime with someone again, carry them by uwi doubles.

food business weird in that ppl will blank a place until they see other people eating there. better yet if it have a crowd, crowd does draw in more crowd.

man eating 6 doubles have to stand around the doubles cart for 10-20 minutes. built-in crowd, even without the social media beat up. once they get customers they will get regulars, and build up a business base that way.

right now it have a chinese place open up in gulf city. brand new place. dead dead. and the windows big and wide open so everybody in the car park could look in and see the deadness of how dead it is inside there.

But also begs the question if everyone is wrong by thinking crowd equals good!

Tuesday nights at Valpark doubles lime saw 6 doubles being easily defeated.

UWI doubles have the biggest open drain next to it... a canal.. in Trinidad. So it have to be the best by that standard. Unless somebody selling doubles on the Caroni River bridge now.

There used to be a doubles vendor on the south side of UWI, across the highway, on the road that leads to the caroni road. That was a completely different experience. Incredible doubles. Good flavor and bess sauces.


Problem with doubles now is the sauces were meant to compliment the doubles, not hide the rubbish they made.

Also, Sauce doubles at any location sucks. There, I said it

Pablo's. The stall is still there.

He has a few outlets in the Tunapuna area. The doubles there have always been good/average, but usually consistent.

Incredible? No. Never. Maybe you were very hungry at the time. Or maybe it appeared to be an exotic location?

Just goes to show how doubles is a personal preference.

In fact if anyone asks me to recommend doubles in Tunapuna, it would not be there, but a stall 3 minutes away.

That must have been over 40 yrs ago.
I grew up in the extended vicinity, I never knew of anyone else selling doubles at that location.

Pablo's isn't trash though, its just regular basic doubles.

Yep. You wouldn't want to have a vene cook a doubles. By MS supermarket in debe, the doubles man try that. His sales plummet. The Bara was gunky and seasoning was off. In mid December he changed back the cooks. Definitely a taste improvement

Just one of the bad apples. Many Venes are helping with the preparation and you don’t even have a clue as you gobble down your doubles in large amounts.

You seem like a doubles junky…remember your health is important especially in your case.

yeah they would be getting more business now, not just those who going for the challenge but normal ppl who carrying it home. both social media and now mainstream media (cnc3) would have helped with that.

now it probably have other vendors trying to think what kinda marketing they cud do to increase sales.
