Size does really matter, proportionally

It is not how much of something you have. It is mostly about the ratio of that item to the other items in your life.

Reese's: The original reese's are fantastic. Perfect selection of chocolate and peanut butter. The flavors mix and your taste buds receive perfect excitation. But then every year around Easter Hershey's gives many more options for how to enjoy the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. The little eggs with much more chocolate compared to peanut butter. There there is the BIG egg that has half a cup of peanut butter with not enough chocolate to go around. This egg always feels more like a peanut butter energy bar rather than the delicacy which is reese's. You see people? It is all about the ratio.

Anything where the size is the only key component? How about other items where ratio is the key?

Can I get a few comments? If we do, I promise to deliver a controversial post mid-week about how the reese's theory applies to people and we all remember what happens when candy bars and people mix... see Twix Theory Post.

Dear Clayton,
Could you change the color of your background or the color of the text? It's white on white, which means I have to highlight everything just to see what clever little posts you've written. If you do, I promise to ponder your theory and respond with something clever?!?

Mine is white type on dark grey background. Is anyone else having this problem?
