It’s not a DIET, it’s a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

    Ha ha ha ha! That’s how I feel too! Good thing the fun size don’t have any calories or fat! Enjoy the lifestyle change – seems like an easy one to stick to :-)

    OHMYGOODNESS, we are fun size diet twins, too! My husband came home yesterday and went to grab some clearance candy and goes, “I thought you bought Kit Kats, too?” I totally lied and denied having ever bought them because I ATE THEM ALL.

    Also, lorid: they don’t have calories or fat? THAT IS AWESOME. I wondered why they were called “fun size.”

    it’s a known fact that anything you eat standing in front of an open refrigerator has no calories at all. so all the fun-size candy that i stashed in the freezer (yum! frozen candy!) is fair game.

    and shannon? we were separated at birth. i am also on the costco diet.

    Ooh fun-size!

    Sadly with my new flingin’ flangin’ braces I can’t enjoy any of my leftover candy and wonder what the heck I’m going to do with it.

    You make me smile. Fun-size, hehe. It seems to me that those little chocolates are way more lethal, because you can fit a whole one into your mouth (or maybe just I can? picture me red-faced) and then it seems harmless. I mean, it’s just a BITE. It can’t amount to anything. Even if you eat twenty-six of them.

    Hah!

    Exactly WHY are they “fun” size? I thought the original size was pretty fun.

    Does anyone remember what year they switched over to smaller sized bars? I remember bars being full sized at Halloween when I was a kid (which is why you saw very few chocolate bars), but I can’t remember when that was.

    Bwahahahahahahah!

    That’s great.

    I too am apparently having this lifestyle change. Once we run out of halloween candy, it will be such a relief.

    My size is pretty fun already. :)

    That’s MY lifestyle! Of course, mine is slightly more healthy because I drink a lot of skim milk to wash down that chocolate. Skim milk doesn’t have calories~it’s SKIM!

    ooh this is funny.

    I can’t think of a witty comment.

    Despite having a child too young to trick or treat, I still managed to canabalize my OWN candy (that I paid for.) They were MINIs and so I should be beginning to wither away here…aaaaaany minute.

    I’m so glad someone admitted how much of the halloween candy they are consuming. I swear, if I can just resist the first one I’m okay, but once I tear the first fun size wrapper, it is all over.

    Ooo, I love Mr. Goodbars. I find if you cleanse your palate with a little creamy chicken hotdish you can go back for more.

    Caramel candy corn makes me feel a little barfy though.

    hmmm, that sounds like my kind of diet…..well, except for that carrot stick. What the hell is that? :)

    I wonder what I would have said if I knew my parents were pilfering my halloween candy back then? I’m sure they were, because I SO am.

    I actually wanted to ask you about the peppermint mocha creamer…..is it wet or dry? And what brand? I drink my coffee black but like to treat myself to cream every once in a while. This sounds like an alternative to Starbucks…. In any case, I can not find it in my grocery store.

    I’ve always thought it was kind of a cruel joke that the tiny bars were named fun size. Really? I think it is less fun when I have to unwrap at least 1/2 a dozen for a decent chocolate fix.

    Sara- It’s Nestle CoffeeMate, and it’s liquid. Which is TOO BAD, because otherwise I would buy SO MUCH and store it for the whole year. This flavor is seasonal, so it might not be in all stores yet. In my store, they have it next to the cream, along with other seasonal flavors involving pumpkin and spice and gingerbread and whatnot.

    Hey, if you don’t eat it, they will! And you don’t need 5 hyped-up-on-candy kids running around!

    I don’t know if someone already wrote this in comment-form… I didn’t read all the comments this time.
