Fun-size
This is a food recommendation and it was added on Monday June 12, 2006 by John Keane. permanent url
You might think that “fun-size” just means “small”, but no—you’re wrong. Yes, “fun-size” does mean “small”, but actually what’s really going on is this: “small” means “fun”.
Yes, small is fun. So when we’re talking about fun-size, we mean that the fun-size thing is fun because it’s small.
Take a banana. Opening bananas is fun. You can pretend to be a monkey. And when you start eating the banana, this is fun. It tastes sweet, like a banana. But with a big banana, you have to eat the banana for a little while and, by the end, it still tastes … like a banana. No fun. With a fun-size banana, you get the opening the banana fun (“Oooh! ooooh! I’m a monkey! Ooohhohhh!”), you get the fun of a nice tasty banana, but none of the misery and boredom of a big banana that takes ages to finish. Fun-size.
You see, people like trying new things. This is why people go on holiday to new places, and do things like bungee jumping and parachuting. These things are fun, because they’re new.
With small things, you get all the fun of new when you start using (or, usually, eating) the thing, and none of the boredom of doing (eating) something for a long time. Ever watched the clock at work come 4.30pm? You’ve already been there for a whole day. Now it’s boring. But it was fun at 9am. Wasn’t it?
Fun-size = small = fun. Try something fun-size today. I recommend it.
