What were once generous sized lumps of premium quality chocolatey goodness have recently been "conveniently" individually packeted and seriously downsized, giving us skimpy little "bites", and a LOT of non-biodegradable litter and air for the same price - and the first-rate BIG flavors and textures that made the Original "Stix" so sensational are now just bland and unsatisfying miniatures. And how much Fun is it to fuss and fiddle with tearing open each disappointing little nugget pouch, instead of reaching into the package and grabbing a big bumpy cluster of mouth-filling cookie/candy delight? I was an enthusiastic fan when I first discovered them last year; intending to always have a ready supply on hand to delight and impress friends with. Since they meddled with the very essence of what made them so terrific in the first place, I won't be buying them ever again. Why couldn't they just have left such a great product alone?

My philosophy exactly. These sound absolutely incredible and I want some right now, but can't have them, so thanks a lot, Jamie, for making me drool in the privacy of my living room without any means for quenching my need for some Funley's stuff! Great review; very visually sensory and it makes me want to buy all three of these varieties when I do find them. In the meantime, I'll just have to satisfy myself with a great candy bar I'm addicted to lately that has LOTS of thick, gooey caramel: Milky Way with More Caramel! I LOVE that ending quote!
