Reese's All Peanut Butter Cup Has Chocolate Lovers Sounding Off
03/03/2021 03:50 pm EST
Nothing New
Many commenters laughed at the idea that this snack was innovative, when in reality it was no different to them than eating peanut butter by itself, right out of the jar. Others joked about an "all-chocolate" cup.
Allergies
People with nut allergies — already unable to enjoy Reese's products as it is — joked bitterly about these cups being somehow even more dangerous for them. Many worried about these circulating in schools as well.
Ghostly
Many users joked about the eerie appearance of the all-peanut butter cup, comparing it to a ghost of its chocolaty cousin.
Obsession
Some commenters, joking or otherwise, speculated that the U.S. in particular has a national obsession with ingesting peanut butter in new, decadent ways. They thought that Reese's had helped fuel this addiction, and still did to this day.
Jelly
With chocolate out of the equation here, some joked that Reese's is wide open to pair peanut butter with something else — perhaps jelly. They thought this would be just as inventive as an all-peanut butter cup.
Predictions
Commenters figured that the all-peanut butter cup was unlikely to be a particularly huge success for Hershey's, likening it to other junk food fads.
Stopped
Finally, some joked that Hershey should be stopped from completing this project, by government intervention if necessary. Since that appears unlikely, however, the Reese's Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers' Cup will be available starting on April 1.
