@shahnm Trivia: In the book, it was M&Ms, but Mars wouldn’t let Spielberg use them. Hershey, OTOH, was happy to supply Reese’s Pieces by the bucket to get free publicity for a new product. One of the more boneheaded decisions by Mars Corp.
Any of the holiday shaped ones are superior. I’m particularly fond of the bats. Don’t @ me. The original cups have a a greater chocolate to peanut butter ratio thus they aren’t as good.
I will also share my hot take on peanut butter cups. Trader Joe’s are better than Reese’s.
@kjady
I like the dark chocolate ones from Trader Joe’s better than the regular ones. But I agree about the holiday reeces and and regular having to much chocolate.
@kjady Glad to hear that because they had been voted one of the best at Trader Joe’s and I couldn’t figure out what they were talking about. I didn’t see any in milk chocolate.
@pooflady I like dark chocolate personally. There is just something off putting about Trader Joe’s dark chocolate. It’s so bitter compared to other brands.
@kjady I’ve noticed that the football Reese’s and the easter Reese’s seem to be made from the same mold. So if you like that shape, many of the stores have the football ones marked down for the season.
My favorite thing about them is the relief I feel from the fact that consuming any Reese’s product is entirely voluntary, and therefore easy for me to avoid completely. They really are vile.
@PooltoyWolf I find that the assumption that everybody must love Reese’s is something that requires a response. Had the poll included a selection for “I do not have one”, I’d have ticked that box and moved on.
@PooltoyWolf@yakkoTDI Then they assumed that no one who dislikes the product merited acknowledgement, which is a poor choice. Polls rhat fail to self-select their audience need to include explicit exits for those whose opinions fall outside the measured range.
@PooltoyWolf@werehatrack@yakkoTDI or because they made the poll about a product similar to what is for sale, their concern was their target market. Folks who dont like them are not part of that population, soooooooo
I used to love the Reese’s dark chocolate ones, but they sort of disappeared during the troubled times and now that they’re back they taste sort of … odd.
@sicc574@stolicat@werehatrack I kind of can’t believe I’m having to reply again in the same thread to the same person to ask why the outsized negativity is needed here. “Hershey’s is gross” is an obtuse opinion that really should not be aired in a thread asking people what their favorite variety of a Hershey’s product is.
I dunno man. I was raised to spread positivity and politeness. Maybe that’s why I get annoyed when I see someone spending the bulk of their time speaking negatively. Just my observation, nothing more.
The entrails of people who say “ree see cups”
@awk Yes!
@awk People say that?
@awk Or “Ree seez”
Reese’s Pieces
@Ignorant ET, is that you? I need to have a word with you - would you please phone home?
@Ignorant @shahnm The Reese’s Pieces sundae at Friendly’s was always my favorite.
@ircon96 Yes Yes Yes
@heartny They’re a ripoff, no chocolate at all.

@rockblossom @shahnm Then there’s the guy at Kenner that decided not to renew the Star Wars license before the other 6 movies came out.
The christmas trees that look like little turds.
The look of delight on my wife’s face eating one.

@kjady Hmm Trader Joes definitely will have to try them now.
@kjady Just got some last week and I disagree. I’m giving them away.
@pooflady The milk chocolate ones are great. The dark chocolate ones are trash and deserve to live in a land fill.
@kjady
Yup! The Easter ones were first IIRC, but the Halloween, Christmas Trees, and any others are great!
@kjady The holiday shapes really are tasty, yeah!
@kjady Naw, the holiday shapes are garbage. Way too much peanut butter. It’s all about the balance.

Nutrageous, but they are harder to find.
Reese’s Fast Break. Preferably king size sized.
Very limited Double Peanut Butter filled cups.
Diana was my favorite Reese, but all the Supremes were good.
Reese’s Sticks!! All the chocolate/peanut butter flavor of a Reese’s Cup, plus the crispy crunch of a Kit Kat. They’re the best.
@mamajoan
I’ve never seen those.
@mamajoan That sounds amazing!
I like the White Chocolate Reese’s Cups best, but I don’t love any of them.
Truly any holiday Reese treat, with a slight nod to the Christmas tree.
Dark chocolate Reese’s Thins
Fast Break. But I can’t find them anymore. Same with many peanut butter related items here in the northeast.
@detailer They can almost always be found at W-Mart.
The ones in ice cream - moose tracks
All of them!!!
My favorite thing about them is the relief I feel from the fact that consuming any Reese’s product is entirely voluntary, and therefore easy for me to avoid completely. They really are vile.
@werehatrack Did you need to say anything?
@PooltoyWolf I find that the assumption that everybody must love Reese’s is something that requires a response. Had the poll included a selection for “I do not have one”, I’d have ticked that box and moved on.
@PooltoyWolf @werehatrack There was no assumption that everybody likes them. The question was for people who do like Reese’s to state their favourite.

Right now my favorite are the white Reese’s cups but a close second is the far lesser known Reese’s bar…
The classic cups, followed closely by Reese’s Pieces!
I used to love the Reese’s dark chocolate ones, but they sort of disappeared during the troubled times and now that they’re back they taste sort of … odd.
@stolicat that’s because they are made with dark chocolate and dark chocolate is gross!
@sicc574 @stolicat
FIFY
@stolicat oh those were my fav pre covid. Ive not tried them lately

The Reese’s with potato chips are freaking awesome! Yeah, I’m gonna let mediocrebot have this one.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
/showme Reeses peanut butter cups with potato chips
@mediocrebot Looks like potatoes, not chips. Close enough?
@heartny @mediocrebot
If not we know who to blame.
