      Nope. If all goes well I’ll give the Cintiq a whirl starting next week.

    I always wondered why they were called “Fun size” in the US.
    Where I live the mini-versions of candy are literally called Minis. No way to misunderstand that.

      In my part of the world, Halloween candy sold out earlier this week.

      Lots of Christmas on the candy on the shelves though.

    This is a … unique theory about obesity.

    It probably deserves further research.

      It’s quite accurate, in a limited sense. When candy bars were big, you ate just one and considered yourself satisfied. Now, how many ‘candy bars’ does one eat before they stop? Two? No. Ten? Maybe. By making them tiny, it made portion control more difficult for humans.

      Now, there are other areas of food intake that have more influence than candy bars, but one step at a time. For the sake of the children, we should return to full size candy bars.

        This is actually already acknowledged as a cognitive bias.

        That example is specific to money, but the same theory can be applied to food.

    Snorting one of those GIANT pixie sticks is generally bad for your health. doing it all in one line.. so not good. Ok the sugar rush is fun for about 20 minutes then you sleep for a week trying to sleep off the sugar crash..

    Panel 3 made me look up whether it is possible to make your own Pixy Stix. And whether you could scale it up to fill, say, that cardboard tube that wrapping paper comes wrapped around.

    Short answer, “yes”. Dangerous answer, “yes, and it seems pretty darned easy, and I think I’ve got most of the things to do it in my house RIGHT NOW.”

    I don’t see what’s so fun about candy that can can be fit nasally.

    Heh. My local Cracker Barrel has 2lb peppermint sticks, 5lb Hershey’s bars, 1lb York’s peppermint patties, AND 1lb pixie sticks! WIN! They’re as big around as your thumb.

    They also have a lot of 300lb customers.

    Sugar and… glue?

    Yup. That sounds like a treat a kid would enjoy. 🙂

    You should see these “fun size” M&M bags. There are literally 3 to 5 Ms per bag.

    Umm …. it’s monday again … Monday, November 3rd, to be exact … and this is still the last page? No new strip today? Intentional or by mistake?

    Sleeping off your sugar rush, like joecrouse mentioned earlier? 😉

      Maybe it’s the Cintiq thingy gone haywire.
      Hope Adam’s okay. Maybe he’s sick. Or…dare I say it…dead? Man, I hope not.
      Come on, Adam! You can do it! Pull through, man, pull through!

    I love how your idea of weight loss is a coma.
