There we were at work about to finish the second meeting of the day.  I heard a soft voice whispering to me.  It was the call of the office candy dish.

Sitting back down, my friend Josh had a realization.  The “Fun Size” candy bar in my hand really does not provide the optimal amount of “fun.”  No, for an adult, the optimal amount of fun would probably require gobbling about three “Fun Size” candy bars.  With this observation, Josh put our brilliance onto paper and thus was born the “Candy Curve” (applicable only to adults, because kids have such a different relationship to candy, they really deserve their own special curve to hold in their sticky chocolate covered fingers).

Behold, the “Candy Curve!”

As you can see, several aspects of our hazardous relationship with candy are visualized on this single curve.

The near perfect size of the “normal” candy bar.

The gross overplay of the “King” size.

The horrible misfortune that takes place when you don’t actually share the “Share” size.

Finally, the great sadness that takes place when not enough Trick-or-Treaters come to the door on Halloween and you binge on the entire candy bowl all alone.

It’s all there.  All of your candy concerns addressed.  So next time you reach for a snack, take some good advice and give heed to the wisdom of the “Candy Curve.”  It’s life changing truth coated in rich creamy milk chocolate.
