Hershey's Milk Chocolate & Reese's Pieces

 


(Hershey's, 2019) This is OK, but from the perspective of the Reese's side it's a little weird, for the pieces (as you know) are all peanut butter and candy coating, skipping the chocolate cup, thereby betraying the brand's "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter"-theme (blame E.T. for the success). But here the balance of chocolate to PB is so off that there is no Peanut Butter Cup vibe at all. There's also a weird mush to the peanut butter that takes a little away from the Hershey's experience. So unlike a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin' Donuts, where you could just order what you like separately, these candies make a beast with two backs that cannot be pried apart, and it's less than the sum of two parts. Still, how many candies have two possessive apostrophes in the name?
