Reese's are good. I also love Starburst and Skittles.

Am I the only one who likes most candy bars in their miniature version?
For instance, I prefer snicker snackers to their full size version. I prefer Dark chocolate Milkyway, and Three musketeers to the full size version.

For one thing I can have them in my ski jacket pocket and pop the whole thing in my mouth so I don't break my teeth when they're frozen.
Another thing is the flavor, they just seem to taste better in miniature size. Why is that?

I know why the minis are better. Think about it....more surface area per ounce..and since the surface area is coated in chocolate..it makes for a steezier candy bar..and more flavor per bite. Think about Deli Meat. A good deli sandwich has meat sliced really thin giving more surface area and more flavor. Imagine a turkey sandwich that is just one thick solid slice of turkey..not so steezy..

I love the way GSS breaks it down, lol. Much like the Seinfeld episode that discussed fudge distribution in a sundae.......

My local sales rep for Crest Toothpaste ALWAYS shows up with a couple of bags of Hershey's Miniature when he stops by the office. Since one of my hygenists handles all of that type of ordering(toothbrushes/toothpaste/floss/whitestrips), and she's a chocohollic, I'm ususally looking at a pretty sizeable invoice from protor and Gamble(Crest's parent company) a few weeks after the minitures show up in the office :rolleyes:
