Halloween Candy -- Is it really a "fun size"?
It's that time of year again. Time to feed the sugar starved kids in the neighborhood, and for that matter the adjacent 4 ZIPCODES. But I'm always tickled by the marketing mavens for the candy bar manufacturers. "Let's see, if we shrink the candy bar to 1/4 its normal size (which is probably family size), what do we call it? I know. Fun size. It's just so darn funny we didn't think of it sooner."
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if your spousal arousal unit was the size of a Baby Ruth, I doubt that anyone would think it was a fun size. Well, actually, it would be a size to make fun of. And Halloween or not, all you'd be getting in the locker room would be Snickers. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
