Myron "Mike" Edward Chon was born in Chicago on December 12, 1902 to Anne Bransky and Benjamin W. Chon, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. One of five children and elder brother to the famed New Yorker editor William Shawn (University of Michigan ex-Class of 1929), Chon entered the University of Michigan in 1919 where he quickly joined the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. A noted composer and saxophonist, he played in a variety of events across Michigan.

Chon returned to Chicago after graduating in 1923 to work in advertising. In 1934, Arthur Meyerhoff offered him the position of executive creative director for the newly formed Arthur Meyerhoff Associates. During his career he led a variety of advertising campaigns including the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and the Doublemint Twins. Myron Chon died April 29, 1987.

He was the composer of the "Double Your Pleasure" song, while he was at Meyerhoff. I should know. I worked there in the 1970's. I even cast twins for the commercials. Rodger Mitchell — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodgermitchell (talkcontribs) 21:13, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
