I always end up eating the equivelant of 2 whole candy bars when I eat the minis. Do you think this is the candy bar companies intent? Is it a conspiracy? LOL

Its the Mini-ness of it....instead of eating 2 jumbo bars, you can eat 50 mini's. And like they say, when they're served mini...there's less calories and fat. Something that small can't possibly be harmful, they're too cute!!
that's my story and I'm sticking to it....get away from my hershey's mini's!!!LOL

yea, I know what you mean but the idea is for the consumer to have self-control on what he or she eats. You can enjoy a little of sweets but if you are soon eating the equivelant of 2 whole bars keep them at bay or just keep two or three near you and control youself into not eating more for the day. You have the control at your finger tips so keep your sweet tooth and enjoy a bit at a time.

They are handy for some situations - giving out for halloween, keeping in a candy jar at work etc. If you are having self-control issues, count out 3 pieces and then put the rest away before you start eating. Or just switch back to regular candy bars and eat just one :)

I just eat one at a time. Sometimes 2 in a day. But I will not buy a large bar, cause I will eat the whole thing.

I agree with you, however, they are probably marketed for those who wish to watch there weight. The thought being you can have a little bit of candy and enjoy it and not have the calories of the whole bar. My thing is why do they call them fun size bars they're not fun, not fun at all.

Some people are satisfied with just a bite or two, so the minis work well for them. A mini is the most we should eat, but I usually want a jumbo...lol!

I think it is a conspiracy. Everyone does it. The bigger ones are better.

My girlfriend like to hide them in special places for me to find.
