Surely if they were actually fun they'd be huge? there's nothing fun about finishing a bar in a couple of bites.

They think by giving smaller portions you won't eat as much, thus preventing you from gaining weight and allowing you to have fun doing physical activities. Unless you eat them 20 at a time, which I guess would still be fun. The choice is yours, my friend. Choose wisely.

They are quicker to eat, which means more time to do fun things. :o

They prefer to be called 'little' candy bars.

They're fun because you can have a dozen different types of candy all at once (I guess you could also have a dozen types of full sized candy at once but somehow I think that would be a bad idea).

If you eat a whole 12 pack of fun bars then they are fun. Just 1 is pathetic.
