Key Lime Pie Little v Large

Key Lime Pie. 
I used to be a chocolate dessert person until I moved to Key West.  It was a given, whatever chocolate dessert was on the menu Amy was getting it.  No debate whatsoever.

But then Key Lime Pie came into my life. Sweet, tart, delicious, creamy. biscuity key lime pie. Oh God, be still my beating heart.

So what's a person to do? You see my conundrum right?  No matter how much I try say it's Vitamin C, at the end of the day I can't be eating a big old slice of the pie every day right? 

Well, good news, Publix supermarket has you covered my friend.  I present to you the MINI key lime pie!

The DL: 
> 4 slices per pie
> $5.99 

Compared with the original pie: 
> 8 slices per pie
> $8.99

Yes at $8.99 for 8 slices the bigger one is better value, and I like value (winky face). But what that really translates into is this. You have people over for dinner, you serve the mini pie, everyone oohs and ahs and enjoys pie. End of. You have people over for dinner, you serve the mini pie, everyone oohs and ahs and enjoys pie.  For the next TWO nights, you and your partner eat key lime pie for dessert.  That's fine the first time, the second time too, and the third...but after that...well you live in Key West, I know it pains to admit it but you simply know it's not sustainable. Enter stage left, the Publix mini key lime pie.
