Halloween candy getting smaller?

[Bill Dozer]

So I'm eating the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for breakfast that are supposed to be for tricker treaters and I got this embarrassing pile of wrappers. Im not even piggin out but seems like Im spending all my time tearin into packaging. So I look at these things and they are making my hands look like Im Shaq. They are almost bite size now. I eat these about once a year but Im pretty sure Im getting scammed. They gotta be half as big and cost of candy up 300%. Anybody?

I agree and am staging an intervention for my teenage son who is addicted to Reeses. We can hide the candy anywhere but he's like a bomb sniffing dog, he finds them. I am writing my tearful note about not blaming him, there's hope, we love him blah blah blah.

The counselor has suggested weaning him off via a gradually decreasing diet of Reeses and then slowly switching him over to Kit Kats until ultimately he's eating string beans and turnips.

[Bill Dozer]

Ahh... Kit Kats. I start off with the Reeses and eventually say, alright another of these would start to be disgusting. Lets not be a slob here. Then I grab a Kit Kat on the way by. Cut to next scene with a pile of Kit Kat wrappers next to Reeses.

You know youre eating too many of them when thinking how cool it would be if you could buy a bag of unwrapped Reeses... Ya know like deshelled pistachios

It's true. They're Reese's Miniature Cups. Can't get em in CR though.

yea but those aren't the real deal. They are minis. The chocolate to peanut butter ratio is all messed up.

Never understood "Fun Size"

I was happy enough when PriceSmart started carrying the big bags of Reese's Miniatures. When I first moved here back in 2004, I could find Reese's everywhere, then one day they just disappeared, and that lasted a few years. In fact, the wife is at PriceSmart right now, and she has been instructed to bring me a bag home.

In other news, I saw that AutoMercado had bags of candy corn. I haven't had any of those in like 10 years, so I had to pickup a bag. They tasted as good as I remembered them.

RPBC's are my thing. Go into chocolatier shops and they sell peanut butter cups on steroids. They're like the size of a fist and have half a can of peanut butter in there. It's like a 2000 calorie peanut butter cup. Shit weighs like a pound and a half.

My 90 yr YOUNG mother, CRAVES Turtles chocolate candies!!!!! She is in aN assisted living facility and I send her 5 bars every 2 weeks.....keeps her happy, not to mention the Jolly Time microwave "Blast of Butter" popcorn (of which I send her a case of every month) and the Polish pastries I send her every month. Mom share everything (EXCEPT THE TURTLES!!) with "the help"......life is good for my mother!..

Speaking of reeses, I love the easter eggs and christmas trees they come out with every year.

Peanut butter cups are the perfect ratio of peanut butter and chocolate. I make cookies with them to bring to work, but I seem to be making less cookies, but there are still the same number of wrappers. My pants are also getting tighter. Probably not a coincidence.
