They call those miniature Snickers bars Fun Size Bars. Why on earth would the smallest of the bars be called the Fun Size? Not even an inch and a half of chocolatey-nougaty-nutty goodness. Not a whole lot of fun. Good, yes. But aren’t the bigger ones good for a longer period of time? More bites, as it were? I think so. The giant jumbo sized Snickers bar really ought to be called the Fun size, I think. I realize this might sound like I am subconsciously talking about penises, or something, but setting aside all the Freudian sexual bull****, honestly, when something is really good and you like it, and then you take it and make it about one-eighth of the size of the original, and this reduction does nothing to make the thing more useful or better in anyway, is this resulting dwarf object really more fun than the original? Nope. You don’t call it the Fun Size. You call it the little dinky version. I like to see Snicker’s sell these as the Snickers Dinkys. Now, that would be fun.
jumps into Seinfeld impersonation WHATS the DEAL with THAT!!! …and WHATS the DEAL with this guy stealing my act!?!
They call the little ones fun-size, because the other ones are the super-size, mega-fun-size and more-fun-than-is-legal-size, which comes with the strict requirement you share it with a friend. 
They’re just trying to make it sound more fun because otherwise, who would buy one that small? The market for too small candy bars would disappear as we all lost ourselves in jumbo-king size pleasure which isn’t quite as profitable for the candy makers.
Fun size suck!
A baby couldn’t get a mouth full on one of those pea sized bars.
It takes three to make a tooth cavity hurt.
The paper fills up more landfill space than the candy inside.
Buying fun size says “I’m a cheap bastard, and really want to stretch a buck.” at any gathering.
Fun size at Halloween says “Go ahead, and egg the house.”
Your allowed ten fun sized bars everyday on any diet plan out there.
Diabetics can eat about thirty before they have to worry.
I know! And what’s the deal with those bags of pretzels you get on the plane? I think they should make the whole plane out of the black box!

I think a lot of people have mis-conceptions about black-boxes. They aren’t really black. They are orange. This is so they can be found more easily when a plane goes down. They are called black-boxes because they are closed up and the components are not readily visible like a radio or other component. When we negotiated the construction contract for these boxess with the aliens from the planet Kcajih who make the boxes out of some super hard material they get from their gardens from a native carrot, it was agreed we wouldn’t paint the boxes so the carrot-flesh could breath and since none of the airlines want orange planes, this material can not unfortunately be used to make airplanes out of.

anyone else rather confused?
I think they’re called “fun size” because it’s way fun to sit down and eat a whole bag of them. Maybe that’s just me, though. 
Even then wouldn’t it be a lot more fun to eat a whole bag of a larger size?
Umm… I did a Seinfeld impersonation because he did a whole routine on this very subject.
EnochF continued with the impersonation and did more Seinfeld! There ya go. Case closed.
What else could be that small and still be called “fun”?
Nothing I can think of…bigger IS better…sorry!
Thats not what my girlfriend tells me! I think you got it all wrong sister!! Heh Heh heh… uhhhhh… ugh.
No it isn’t just you.
I unwrap them all and line them up into little chocolate candy regiment formations before I start to eat them.
Fun Size
He did? Well, that sucks.
Never mind, then. I guess I’m not as funny as I thought I was. sniff
NO! you have it backwards! your even funnier then… you got a professional material mind!
Fun size = small
I’m sure glad we beer monsters have not been taken in by that
It seems that they’re called ‘Fun size’ because they’re for Hallowe’en, and for those little bags of candy and stuff that kids get at parties, or for little bowls of candy at those parties.
They’re not fun - the situations they show up in are.
