Food / drink 🍗 All that sweet sweet candy

My parents didn't have any fancy dishes, so teh Correlleware simply went to Goodwill when the time arrived.
 
We have a full set of china from my grandmother. It is boxed up and will never be used.

I just ate a fun sized Kit Kat bar. It was actually pretty good. I don't normally think of Kit Kats as being great candy bars but I'd give it a solid B.

I've never understood the "fun size" thing. To me, the fun size would be some big ass giant candy bar, not something you can pop in your mouth like a gumdrop.

Consumer size marketing probably warrants its own thread, but I totally agree. 'Fun' size should be HUGE. There should be truth in advertising - the little bite size morsels should be called 'disappointment size' or 'inadequate size'.

With laundry soap, which is bigger: economy size or family size?

Potato chips: party size, family size....what would you call the little one ounce size bags?
 
One candy that's risen in the ranks since I became an adult are Payday bars. Peanuts, caramel...what's not to like?

Okay, I have to admit their appearance is disturbingly unaltered during their journey through the digestive tract, but other than that they're quite tasty.

I got offered a chocolate nonpareil yesterday by someone who wasn't an elderly relative and that made me think of this thread.
 
My daughter now works at Baskin Robbins. I have a banana split for lunch today along with some other random ice cream she brought home.

I once worked at Baskin-Robbins. When I started working there everyone said 'oh, you're going to hate ice cream after working there a couple months.' Never happened. I understand there's a curve where new employees abuse the hell out of the 'free' ice cream for employees when consumed on premises policy, but I didn't pig out like most people. Would have an occasional sundae every week or two, but that was it.
 
Growing up my brother's favorite candy was chocolate non-pariels. So I associate them with birthday as they were one of the standard candies we would have at family birthday parties.
 
She was told to make a bunch of things for herself and take them home as part of the 1st day training. Works for me. I don't think she'll get tired of ice cream, but she is learning that our favorite ice creams are a pain to scoop because chocolate freezes harder, sherbet is sticky, and anything with a ribbon of stuff is annoying.
