"Fun size" candy bars are just an excuse to
raise the prices on the full size ones!
Everybody knows that 60 cents for a full size
bar is ridiculous, but they can get away with it
because of the "fun size" bar! Get rid of it, and
they'd be forced to lower the prices of their
regular bars. Why, I remember my parents
remembering that way back in the day, you
could get a full size Clark bar for a nickel. I
realize we have that inflation thing, but has
inflation really been 1200% since when my
parents were kids? But what *has* happened
since then? The "fun size" candy bar. And it
will prove to be the ruin of many a child's
Halloween, mark my words...unless the
conspiracy is fully unmasked...
