America’s candy manufacturers would have us believe that there is an inverse ratio of fun to size. How else to explain the pervasive “fun size” chocolate bar found in your grocery store? All but the most Gestapo-like fitness addicts know that the “fun size” is the opposite of fun; it is a sugar tease… a mere amuse bouche for the junk food set.
As you can see in the chart below, the percentage of fun rises dramatically as the package size (shown along the x-axis) increases.

Ah, but it IS fun to know that you can have your (okay, mere morsel of) Snickers without getting the 800 calories that accompany the regular size. The problem comes when you eat 10 of them. Have you noticed that the "fun size" candy bars invariably come in bags that encourage just this type of wanton overconsumption? Curse you, folks at Hershey's!
The bar graph slays me every time I look at it! The category "ungodly" is the size candy I'm currently eating for breakfast. Gosh, that reminds me, I better stay hydrated.
