Why do they call it "fun" size?
I just had a "fun" size Snickers. All 2 bites of it. What's the fun in that? Arrggh. :grr: :grr:

1. It's better than
calling it "Little fucking Snickers Bar"

3. I don't think all that would fit on the wrapper
2 bites of Snickers does not equal fun...it equals a tease

6. Because it's fun to trick you into going up 2 waist sizes....
Because nothing that small could have many calories, right?

9. I could try that
but I don't think Snickers had that in mind for the little trick-or-treaters.

15. I thought about doing that.
I could eat about a half dozen of them but I'd feel guilty afterwards. I settled on some Fritos instead.

20. King Size...
When I'm king, I'm having a Snickers bar the size of a fucking canoe.

I'll show you king-sized, dammit!
