Why are they making candy in shareable size?

[Tryharder62]

Like I am going to be able to leave it alone enough to have some left to share. It was hard, but I found a single serving peanut m&m, but I had to look hard for it. Do we need everything super-sized?

I think it's marketing. It's their way of saying, "Go ahead and buy this huge bag and tell yourself you're going to share it when we both know it's all for you, you disgusting pig."

Could be! I think it's some kind of conspiracy myself.

I have no interest in this thread at all, but wanted to make Tryharder feel better and not like a thread killer....

Fat people enjoy things that make them fat.

Awww! That's nice.

Another conspiracy! So you buy a huge bag of candy and think you can just handle one of the mini-bars....one becomes two.....

Also who thought it would be a good idea to mix candy with ice cream... Heath Bar Blizzards!!!! Another piece of the conspiracy.

"Sharable" is a fig leaf so people are more comfortable buying a big-ol-bag of candy to scarf down in the parking lot.

Sodas never went that way, they pretended they were "quenching" your "thirst" rather than main-lining sugar.

Here, you can get 64 oz Thistbusters. Of your thirst requires a half GALLON it's probably time for an I.V.

You really know your gas station confections.

I love York's peppermint patties. Lately I'm no longer able to find the regular size, just the sharable bags.

Walmart sells big bags full of individually packaged M&Ms.




Peanut M&Ms are pretty much the only candy I ever eat.

I like the chocolate to nut ratio, but it does bug me

that I cannot see the nut. Like a box of choc'lates,

you never know what you are going to get...

Go to Glasgow and treat yourself to a deep fried mars bar. The barbarians down there take a chilled (not frozen) mars bar, coat it in batter and deep fry. Obscene.

 

[SpeareChucker]

The state fair comes in every year and they fry everything in the world,
including butter.


No, thank you.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I think there actually is a Glasgow in Missourah...

We have the world come to us,
take Paris, for example...

We have become slaves to the sugar plantations.

There's a sugar refinery down near El Centro California. There are HUGE mountains of the stuff everywhere. I don't know if it's post refining waste, or incoming raw, but there are seriously tall mountains of the stuff all over the place with rail cars on the siding stretching for what looks like miles.

Sometimes I have trouble seeing nuts too.

Won't you always get a peanut?

 

[Saint_Ann]

They got a lot of nerve calling a 1 1/2" long candy bar "Fun Size".

You never know unless you eat the candy shell first.


Sometimes I wonder if the peanut was a good one.
