"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...
