How to split a candy bar EXACTLY in half

[kenny]

1. Tell two kids to share it.

2. One cuts it in half.

3. The other chooses who gets which half.

GIA''s scale with 8 figures after the decimal place will show the halves are precisely equal.

You know how many times my kids have freaked out over whatever treat I''m giving them isn''t exactly equal? I need one of those scales.

My mother in law did this with us when we were little and it''s a GREAT system! Fully employed here between my boys all the time!!

LOL. As a mom, I can tell you that is spot on!

Yup--my parents employed this technique. Works every time.

Be an only child like me!

... then you''ll get both perfect halves of the candybar

My parents did this with us too, but usually with bowls of ice cream. Worked well until I figured out how to construct a hollow bowl oif ice cream...

Cut a candy bar in half? To share it?

I''m confused on this concept.

Has no one told me...are we living in the "Great Candy Bar Depression of ''09"?

When it comes to chocolate, and my love of it, I''ll put my eagle eye up against the GIA scale any day...to the .00000000 degree

This is what my mom has always done. No one can complain.

I still recall when my mom split a piece of cheese between me and the neighbor kid. She was 5 or so, I was 7. She took her half of the cheese and started mincing it into these teensy little itty bitties. When I asked her what the heck she was doing, she looked at me like it was the dumbest question she''d ever heard and said "I''m making more cheese. I''ll have more than you now." Oh. Duh!
