I just can't fathom why the bite-sized version of candy, tastes so unlike the essence of the candy it originates from. I am sure the exact same ingredients--to the precise proportion--were used to create the little Snickers. So why then, is it so unlike the big Snickers when I chew it up? Perhaps the density has been impaired, thereby altering the cosmic makeup of the little bar.

Now not everyone I have spoken to attests to this observation of mine. In my research--women--who make up the largest percentage of true chocolate lovers on earth, tend to notice no difference between the mini-bars and the maxi-bars. Hmmm... And I suppose they also believe that there's no difference in the flavor of a green M&M and a red one?
