So we have a few bags of Halloween candy left over, namely Peanut M&M's. I open up the microscopic bag and two (2) M&M's roll out. Are you kidding me? Two? That't it?
I take a closer look at the packaging and sure enough, right on the label it clearly says, "FUN SIZE". Huh. There is nothing fun (to me) about a them forgetting to put the other 19 M&M's in the bag. Two M&M's is, frankly, insulting. I decide to look up the word "fun" in the dictionary in an effort to obtain more insight into The Mars Corporation naming it thus. There in black and white, I read, "fun: pleasure".
See? I am right: this candy is misnamed. There is no pleasure in eating only two M&M's.
Then I read further: "make fun of: to ridicule".
Oh. I guess they named it right after all.

When you write a comment, it makes me feel like I won the lottery or at the very least like I ate an ice-cream sundae. (This has nothing to do with the fact that I did just eat an ice-cream sundae.)
