I have one in my drawer, I want a snack, and I like Snickers. But I can't bring myself to eat it. I don't want a half-eaten candy bar in my drawer (you want ants? that's how you get ants.) but I also don't want to eat the whole thing (i'm smol and that's a ridiculous amount of calories) but i cant bring myself to throw the uneaten part away. So it just stays there, taunting me, making me wish it were fun-sized.

Is this some weird attempt at guerilla marketing? Because we don't get the same crowds here as Reddit does, so it's kinda pointless. Unlike drinking cool and refreshing Pepsi Cola - Pepsi Cola, the cool and refreshing cola drink.

Now that you mention it, I could really use a Coke. And some Taco Bell.

I occasionally eat one as a "meal replacement" when I can't get normal food.

But a resealable container solves the ant problem.

Came here to say the same. I would not eat a candy bar under normal circumstances, but I keep some Snickers handy just for the rare occasion when what I really need is a meal's worth of calories that I can eat in under a minute, or carry with me and take up only a little space.

chop it into bits and then put the other parts in the fridge

I like freezing my chocolate portions, makes me eat them slower.

If this at work and they have a freezer that is not sketchy you could store the leftover portion in there. Taped end, plastic container, etc. Recommend labeling it with a date and name to reduce the chance it gets tossed or pilfered.

Make a friend to share with. Offering half a candy bar is a great way to make friends.

Would you like half a candy bar?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes please. See we're friends now, let's go share our candy bar in the shade of that big ole oak tree and see what the wind in the leaves tells us about life.

American portions in general are rediculous. I would love to be able to go to a restaurant and get half the amount of food they usually give you. I'm all for bringing home leftovers but sometimes that's not convenient. Sometimes my fat ass will just eat it all!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not everything is good as leftovers! And I was trained as a child to not waste food, so it's a real struggle. Do I binge eat the whole thing or give a big middle finger to the starving children in Africa?

Back in my teens and twenties, I would often eat a whole full-sized Snickers. I don't know if I would now though. My appetite for junk food has diminished quite a bit.

I wish I could say the same. . .
