A standard sized chocolate bar

Fun size


I wish to comment on a difference of opinion between myself and the confectionery industry.


To illustrate this disparity I present exhibit one:  the Fun Sized Snickers (Marathon) bar



Exhibit two is the standard sized (I refeuse to use the word 'regular' on the basis that it would be wrong) Snickers:



And exhibit three is of course the King Sized Snickers (more recently known as the Snickers 'big one')



Now you tell me which one is more fun.  Tell me now!


Please note that it is the size of the item that is in question, not whether or not you like Snickerses.  If you don't like em, pretend that they're a banana or your other favourite food!

Dammit.


I can't help but be jealous.  Our canteen supplies nasty mayo slop rolls and 3 different flavours of crisps and that's about it.


I really need to start making my own lunches,... but I'm too damn lazy...

The problem when they start mucking around with the size of candy is that often times when they make it bigger or smaller, they get the chocolate to whatever else is in it ratio completely wrong.

Take for example the reese's peanut butter cup. The original size has the perfect chocolate to peanut butter ratio - when they made them mini - something was off - but it was still ok - and we got used to them. However now they have the huge "big cup' thing and its disgusting - the ratio is all wrong.

They did the same thing with Kit Kats...

They should just leave well enough alone!
