Ode to the Mini

Oh, Junior Mints.

How you beckoned to me from the grocery aisle....just begging for me to whisk you into my cart.

You deceived me with your new packaging, and your brilliant new form.

Junior Mints....Minis.

"For baking with!" you said. For "Topping your dessert!"

How about for just eating plain, like I wanted to? Yes, yes....you would be good for that, also.

Minis....so I will be able to still indulge in your yummy, creamy, minty goodness, all the while cutting calories by consuming your smaller size.

Oh, minis.

You tricked me.

You knew that by making yourself three times smaller than the original, I would consume five times as many of you. You knew.

Your 1/2 pounder box will not deceive me again. Next time, I will *gladly* buy you, knowing full well that I will consume you in under 36 hours flat.

Mmmmmmm......minis.
