Ah, more “fun size” candy. What a gyp! When I was a kid, candy bars were the size of blackboard erasers. Now they are like credit cards.

I noticed recently that a piece of facial tissue is going toward the “fun size,” too.

I don’t feel like buying anything anymore!

Maybe I'm hallucinating my younger years, but didn't Mars bars used to be two piece?

My dad always told me stories about how Hershey bars used to be "huge" when he was a kid. I thought he was just making up old-timey tales, but he was right. I had no idea that Bazooka gum was anything but scored in the middle. I know it's thinner nowadays, but I remember my dad taking out his old trusty pocketknife and splitting it with me so we could both enjoy a nice chew.
