"Fun-Sized" Candy Bars
 
After Halloween you're libel to have some "Fun-Sized" candy bars around, either because you had less goblins than you anticipated, and you became too nauseous to eat any more, or your own goblins brought them home.
Quote:

If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and punch whoever invented the Fun Size candy bar.
Because you know what? They aren't very fun at all. Eating just one is definitely not fun (too small!) and when you inevitably try to satisfy your candy appetite by eating 10-12 of the pint-sized treats, what you feel is basically the opposite of fun.

Can this sticky situation be salvaged in time for Halloween, when Fun Size reigns? In the name of science, I purchased an entire bag of Fun Size Snickers bars and tried in several different ways to put the fun back in Fun Size. I'm happy to report that it was indeed fun, decidedly delicious, and these ideas could easily be translated to other Fun size variations (perhaps not so much on the non-chocolate varieties such as Starburst or Skittles, though I encourage you to choose your own adventures). Ready for some fun? Let's do it:
And oh my, does she ever do it!

Oh, and you people that wouldn't think of mistreating your body with unhealthy candy bars, wish to watch your figure, don't believe in hollow calories... you go right to hell... go on, git. :lol:

I try not to buy Halloween candy that I actually like.

"Fun sized frosting sandwich," - brilliant!

The Fun Size Shortbread looks perfect.

the Fun sized snicker Smore is interesting

I got a little sick just looking at those creations.

I like making cupcakes for trick-or-treaters. Even the adults want some when I make 'em. :D Thinking of making small cupcakes this year. :D

Contrariwise, I never get any other sort. What I like to give is the things I liked to get.

Blow jobs?

I am fun-sized.

You are a cupcake!

That would count as an unwrapped treat, and therefore is on most parent's discard immediately lists. They are also too fragile for an average pillowcase load.

Since you go to all the trouble making them, I'll be happy to eat them for you, just so they don't go to waste.

I think Tulip lives in a pretty close knit community, where the only kids coming around are all known to her, and they all know her. In that case, cupcakes would work ok.

wolf 10-30-2010 08:50 PM

Good point. We don't have those here. Collections of strangers who share a ZIP-plus four.

We have two tubs this year.
One of mini packs of Haribo (and the OT poster is right - there is nowhere near enough in them to make them fun) and a tub of Treat-Sized Cadburys bars. See what they did there? I had to buy the second tub because I found myself snacking on the first. Three bags at a time. My non-sweet tooth is drawn to gelatine based goodies it seems.

Also I wanted something halal to offer.

Anyway, Mum says, "Don't be disappointed if no-one comes, like last year." I don't remember that being the case. I really don't. But I was drinking a bit back then :( I've even searched the Cellar to see if I can unearth (a good Halloween word) a post to tell me, but if I was disappointed I don't seem to have registered it. Anyway, it's all for my own pleasure and if they don't come at least I didn't build a baseball field.

I'll be carving my pumpkin and setting out my decorations mid-afternoon.
Our clocks went back this morning, so it'll get dark early tonight.

Kep your (severed) fingers crossed for me. I hope at least that some kids will remember from last year. If not, I'll have the Haribo and Mum can have the Cadburys.

Gawd I've missed you Sundae.

Saw Trick or Treaters coming down the street yesterday-ran away and hid. It is UNAUSTRALIAN (this was our previous PM's answer to everything that he didn't think the country should implement).

Pete Zicato 11-01-2010 09:35 AM

Just a reminder. Some of us catch up with the Cellar at work. Could we please keep the NSFW pictures in a NSFW section?

monster 11-01-2010 10:25 AM

Sorry, I swear I put a warning on it, but I can see quite clearly it doesn't have one. I'd be more than happy for it to be deleted or have a warning added if that's possible.

xoxoxoBruce 11-01-2010 04:12 PM

The problem is when you're scrolling down a thread, the warning and picture come up at the same time. So it doesn't do any good unless the warning is in the thread title. That kills the entire thread, for people at work, just for one picture.

monster 11-01-2010 09:13 PM

Mymorethanbad. I must self-flagellate. And not post pics thereof. But.... ya know... it's not so hot for a moderator to say youbad in hindsight. You read everything pretty much straight away. If you let it ride at the getgo, you can't play the "you suck"card a couple days later. Just sayin'

xoxoxoBruce 11-02-2010 12:02 AM

I was responding to your suggestion it be tagged NSFW in retrospect.

Seems silly to tell me I can't do what I already did.
