Okay - sat here looking at one of those mini mars bars out of a fun pack and I had to stop and think. We all know they are a con - that weight for weight it would be cheaper to buy the large ordinary bars rather than all the fancy little ones. We all know that the amount of wastage with lots of small wrappers all inside a big bad is worse than the wastage from one big bar, or even several, and we lal know there are going to be some bars left til doomsday cos we just cannot bring ourselves to eat them. So why do we do it?

Does anyone here buy those fun bags for the kids (yeah right) and end up giving them three or four as treats where one large bar would have been just as good - if not better. I have given kids the small mars bars, for instance, and they are gone in two bites tops, and they do not even fill in a gap, and I have seen the kids faces when I give them a jumbo mars bar. There is a great deal of difference.

So - knowing we are being conned by price and weight, as well as the waste involved, why do we keep on buying those pathetic fun sized packs? Are we psychologically conditioned to do so? And I know there are going to be those who never buy them - but this covers the whole range of products that come multipacked.
