I knew a girl once that would smash them all up and snort them through a straw like a yeyo head. (Yeyo is spanish for the white china). Can you picture that? What a moron. Can you imagine how that would feel?


You think that's bad? In my middle school, they banned this stuff because a couple kids were caught snorting it.

What's "fun" about a tiny Mars Bar?


There are some candy bars that, imo, are better in their smaller form.


Still doesn't make them "fun".

Call them "better-size". "Bite-size". "Yummy-in-my-tummy-size", I really don't mind, just not "fun". It's misleading. Worse, it's a freaking lie. People just have to accept that "small" is ok sometimes, it won't make you fat as quick, it won't kill your teeth, it won't make you so hyperactive, no need to lie about it.

It starts with using "fun" to mean "small", and it ends up calling the Ministry for Agressive Warfare War, the "Ministry of Defense".

You just watch.

I need my coffee.

It's all about the perception that Americans want everything bigger, when in fact, we only take the big stuff because it's been force fed down our throats. Stop annoying us with "Would you like...?" questions and just give me what I freaking asked for. The big companies like Mars candy are afraid that by implying their candy is small in comparison to... whatever.. that it will make them less desirable. On that note, I prefer the miniatures.. simply because I can eat them without getting chocolate on my fingers.
