The fact that miniature Mr. Big bars exist is a delicious irony.
Calling miniature Mr. Big bars a "delicious irony" is a clever play on words by me because Mr. Big bars are delicious.
Mr. Big was my favourite type of chocolate bar growing up and "To Be with You" by Mr. Big was one of my favourite songs. Coincidence, you say? I "big" to differ. (Clever play on words #2).
According
to Wikipedia, Mr. Big bars are more common in Canada than in the rest
of the world -- what's that about? The second most Mr. Big-y country in the world is South Korea, which doesn't make any sense since South Korea and Canada share little in common. Why do some chocolate bars end up with high market penetration in some areas even though they are all made by the same companies (Nestle & Cadbury) worldwide? Like, why are Clark Bars, 100 Grand bars, and Bounty bars in some places in the States but I can't find them here in Ontario? Why don't American convenience stores sell ketchup chips? Why didn't Canada stick with Vanilla Coke? I guess the simple answer to all these questions is that companies tried those products everywhere and they didn't sell enough in certain areas, but does anyone know a good reason why they didn't sell enough in certain areas? I mean, I get why a kimchi-flavoured chip would do better in Korea but Canada isn't more into ketchup than America, is it? I know for an absolute fact Canadians don't hate vanilla extract.
How can there be so much regionalism when it comes to snack flavours but everyone agrees Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse?
I always thought girls liked to read about horses growing up because the horses were a stand-in for a dream boy who is big and strong and does what you want, but if Sarah Jessica Parker really looks like a horse and those same girls that read horse books grew up* to idolize self-insert Carrie Bradshaw then maybe those girls wanted to be horses after all.
