As Halloween grows closer, supermarkets start selling shrunken candy bars. They’re ordinary brands--Three Musketeers, Milky Way, etc.--but they’re about the size of your thumb, and they have a label slapped on them that says “Fun Size!”
Nice try, candy bar fascists, but no kid is going to be fooled by that kind of Orwellian doublespeak. They all know that a real fun-sized candy bar would be about as big as their head.

I dunno. I guess that’d be fun, but if you were a little kid like me you wouldn’t be ABLE to get a candy bar that big near your mouth. Problem. I always thought fun size was about having more. This is the problem with Halloween. People need to understand that you really need to give kids lots of candy at each house. Makes them smile more and whine less about the long walk you’re taking them on, regardless of the fact that it’s the walk that gets them candy. So they’re fun because you get to eat lots of them at once. That’s the rationalization. Don’t quote me on that though...you never know.
