Getting thin with Fun-Size
According to the telegraph, the British Food Standards Agency is requesting that manufacturers make smaller portions more widely available. Specifically, it sounds like they want to see items like 100 calorie-packs labeled for individual sale, taking the place of typically larger vending machine products.
Sounds good. I know for a fact that “fun size” purchases by-the-bag are my caloric undoing. The problem is that the entire bag is a much funner fun-size. My solution, to date, has been to hide them in a high pantry where there’s a greater barrier to entry. But putting them in a vending machine would work too. That way I’d never get one — it’d get stuck on the spiral. And the collected money could go to the gym membership I’m not using.
