Why do they call those little candy bars "fun size"? Why don't they call them "irritating size"?

Or the even tinier kind that they make for Hallowe'en.

They could use descriptive names, like, "bite-sized" or "inhalant sized."

That is a VERY good question!

That depends on what you do with the candy bars for "fun." I don't find eating to be fun (enjoyable, sure, but "fun?" Nah).

I assume that there are others who are inserting the candy bars into orifices other than their mouths. Those who, for example, enjoy occasionally ramming a Twix bar up their bum will consider the small ones "fun size." The large ones (like the ones sold at movie theaters) tend to be more "irritating."

Aren't you glad you asked? ;)

HAHAHAHAHA!
To small for fun if you ask me...:)

because "inadequate size" or "pathetic size" don't sell as well :)

Good point!

"Micro Sized" might be more appropriate?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

How about "cheapass size"?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Nano-sized?

[mummm.livejournal.com]

That works!

The large ones tend to be more "irritating."

Somehow, I doubt if that's true for all users. ;-)
