Do you consider "Fun Size" candy fun?

wow.
Has anyone seen those gigantic Snickers, Reeses, York, Rice Krispies and Hersheys they've been putting out in some stores recently? I think it's for Xmas only. They're like 1-5lbs each, I think the huge hershey one is 10lbs. Now those are fun size.
I've been waiting 9 years for this moment.

I do not. I want to savour the glory of a massive bar of chocolate, not feel betrayed by the undersized imitator of the chocolate world.

Absolutely. If it's supposed to be fun, I expect it to be fun, and it's not for me. I want to know how many people think it's fun and possibly why.

No, I don't mind eating a smaller amount but that just means more plastic is used /environmental rant/

The only "fun-sized" candy I've actually liked is the M&M Minis. Always loved dumping the whole bottle in my mouth lmao.
When I was younger, it was all about full-size or even giant-size candy. Now that I'm older, I really like the fun-size candy. One or two is enough to satiate my sweet tooth.

Fun? No. Suitable? Yes.
Sometimes you're in the mood for a standard sized bar or bag, sometimes you're in the mood for just a small bite sized portion. It's good that the option is there, though older posts throughout the thread do bring up the waste of plastic for the wrappers and that's a fair point.
As far as Halloween is concerned since it's right around the corner as of the time of this post, we've always given out the fun sized candies since they seemed more affordable and that means more trick-or-treaters can be attended to. I do tend to give out two candies to sort of make up for the portion size though.

I never thought I'd say this ever in my life, but I'm starting to like the "fun-sized" pieces. Not only does it keep me from eating a whole package in a day (and thus feel like a piggy), but the smaller sugar content keeps my teeth from hurting. (Note: for some reason, I have sensitive teeth. I've had them looked at and cleaned many times, but not a single cavity has appeared. )
