Ree-says v Ree-cees


They're peanut butter cups, peices, peanut butter chips, and just plain peanut butter. The Hershey's owned company has been delivering us the beautiful marriage of peanut butter and chocolate since the 1920's. There are few who don't like Peanut Butter Cups.

So why must you pronounce it wrong! It's Reese's... meaning the peanut butter belongs to Reese... a guy who's last name is Reese. (H.B. Reese to be exact) The title is posessive. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's not ree-cees... it's not plural. And even if it was plural... as in more than one reese... it would still be reeses ree-says... more than one Reese. GET IT RIGHT. You people drive me crazy.

If you're not sure how to pronounce something, especially if it's an international product, listen to how they say in in their advertisement. Are you really that stupid that you can't take cues fron the creators on how to pronounce something. It's like when someone has a hard to pronounce name, they will politely correct you. If you don't pronounce their name correctly thenseforth, you are rude and stupid.

Stop being stupid
It's REESE'S!



PS: now I really want peanut butter cups!

At least a third of Cold Stone customers who request Reese's pronounce it ree-cees. Grrrrr. I feel your pain.

I had no idea there was dissention among Reese's lovers. I used to work at an old-fashioned ice-cream parlor, and my boss liked to order "Shnickers" ice cream. Justice will be served.
