Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the best invention EVER!

It's more of a peanut mash cup, but ok.

I used to live a stone's throw away from the Reeses factory in Hershey PA. The smell of chocolate and peanut butter every Tuesday and Thursday was heavenly.

Thanks for the brief synopsis of my great grandfather’s legacy ! There is so much more to the history of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but you definitely hit all the highlights ! Thanks !

No it wouldn’t ! The Reese brothers sold Reese’s to Hershey Foods in 1963 (the year I was born) The 5 brothers got Hershey’s stocks which have been passed down to future generations and some of it got sold. My grandfather John M Reese was president of Reese’s and passed his inheritance to his 3 children and my father passed it on to his 3 children. So you see how the money has been split many times. Remember, H. B. Reese had 16 children and spread his wealth amongst them. I really don’t care if you believe me or not, I know the truth and I’m very proud of my Reese family heritage !

Admit it! Peanut Butter Cups are addictive!

Always been my favorite, nice to hear Reese's family are probably pretty well off I might add!

I heard about these in a movie (I think it was dream catcher?) but never tasted them until about 10 years later when they finally started exporting to Australia. Now I love them.

It's a shame they are not available world wide. They are truly delicious.

I really do love your videos. The approach, the delivery, succinct or a little longer, as the subject matter dictates, and always providing a decent amount of information and obvious research that, to be frank, seems lacking from some other popular video channels that just shovel out videos. What is more, on more controversial subjects, you guys never play favorite to a side, you simple lay out whatever facts are relevant, which is amazing. I really enjoy your channel, and find the huge variety of things you cover very interesting! Always look forward to new content from you!

Reeses are better than sex! When you bite into a Reese’s peanut butter cup, it’s incredible! You get that soft peanut butter taste and then a bit of chocolate 🍫 on the side. It’s delicious! 👏🏻😎 Thanks Reeses!

When I was young I saw a commercial for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Two people walking towards each other not paying attention to their surrounding (today's standard it's the cell phone). One eating peanut butter and the other a bar of chocolate. They crashed into each other and that famous word which I still remembered was said "You got peanut butter on my chocolate". The other said "You got chocolate on my peanut butter". Hence the birth of the peanut butter cup. Of course being young and naive, I got a bar of Hershey chocolate and a peanut butter and made my own while watching Bugs Bunny. Of course I tried the real one and never stop loving it.

I'm French and I've never heard about Reese's until I started watching Ricky Berwick's videos. This guy is obsessed with Reese's.

We all know this... a police officer crashed into a peanut butter truck while eating a chocolate bar. The truck lost its load and the officer checked to see if the driver was ok. He dipped his chocolate in the peanut butter and discovered the wonderful combo and the rest is history

I wanted to learn about the unique taste of the chocolate used in Recess Peanut Butter Cups. It's not just regular Hershey's chocolate. It has this unique taste that I love.

Reese's definitely one of my favorites.

Super interesting. Favorite candy of all time

He actually started making the cups when a distributor asked for his assistance. The company was having trouble receiving a popular chocolate/peanutbutter candy on time as the creator of the confection did not have the supplies to meet demand. Reese was asked if he could whip up the confection and supply the distributor. He agreed and so went the story. The candy had already existed, but the opportunity, not yet discovered.

I experimented with those cups to see if they stored well under the right conditions and so far, they are edible three years after placing a carton of them under a vacuum and storing them at 62 F. The ones not under a vacuum went bad after a year. The chocolate bloomed and the peanut butter hardened and went rancid.

Wait back up...Reese wasn't a police officer? who found a car accident with people getting peanut butter on someone's chocolate? Family guy lies to me

not to mention the brilliant stand out packaging. just a brief look at the wrapper and you immediately know how it's going to taste.

Milton Hershey and H B Reese were always friends and H B wouldn’t have been successfull without Milton. Hershey bought Reese’s in 1963 mostly because the 5 Reese brothers who ran the factory had squabbles and then Hershey’s continued to manufacture Reese’s keeping it the success it still is today ! I’m sure Hershey’s felt great when they were able to purchase their competitor !

H.G.Reese..you are my hero.

The only problem with them is that I always want more.

Now here's a video I can really...sink my teeth into. (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please, I'm so so sorry...)

Everytime i see the candy i think of Mitch Hedberg's joke: "There's an apostrophe at the end of Reeses', so if you meet a guy named Reese, you have to give it to him. 'I'm sorry Reese, i didn't think i would ever run into you, you're a BULLY man!' " (I'm not doing the joke justice of course, just google it) Also, must be nice to pay 1 penny for a cup huh?

Damn I want a reeses cup right now... Oh wait, I live in central Europe. SHIT.

If it has the name Reese's on it, I'm on it. And YES, I am from Pennsylvania. As opposed to a lot of "robber barons" of the era, (Carnegie, Frick.) The names Heinz, Hershey and Westinghouse were "revered" in our family.

Always was and still is my favorite sweet. Especially Reese's Pieces

Reese's PBC is a confection, not a confectionary. A confectionary is, of course, a store where confections are sold. Your last statement should therefore have been 'One of the most popular confections in the world'.

I already found out where it originated from family guy, Officer Reese's.

my favorite candy of all time

Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are a FAR superior product. They cost a little more, but the stuff inside them is peanut butter, not that sugary grit that grates on your teeth in Reeses'. The shell is dark chocolate, not the Orwellian 1984 Victory Chocolate that Hershey uses. BTW, not a paid spokesman. I've never even gotten a coupon from Justin's. But they are that good. I think it emulates what the dude was contemplating in the 20s, not the American corporate squeeze every penny out of and adulterate something to the detriment of the product mentality epidemic today.

Agreed, Justin's peanut butter cups are awesome. I'm allergic to both peanut butter and chocolate (migraine allergies, thankfully not the usual deathly peanut allergy most expect), and when I used to "cheat a little" I would sometimes pick Reeses peanut butter cups. They are way less worth the potential reaction than Justin's, which is where I tend to go now for any such cheats. Ironically, kosher bittersweet chocolate bars are also decent, especially frozen.

My favorite candy!

Man struggle,man starts working in chocolate a chocolate factory, the factory inspires him, man starts to sell chocolate in his basement, man names the candy after his children,Man has to let go of the other candies to focus on peanut buttercups, Man decides to make business, his business thrives, man passes away, his family now owns his company, The start a deal with Hershey, the company that inspired him, Peanut butter cups become one of the most sold candies, theme park is built onto and also becomes extremely successful, man is probably very proud and overjoyed that he could support his family.

So the moral of the story is have 16 kids and become the equivalent of a billionaire

This is my crack.

His kids are geniuses😂

At least in these videos there is no annoying accent in the background.

I think the word "confectioneries" sounds so much fancier than candy

You ever just watch wholesome memes and start thinking about Reese's and then search it up

So...She didn't really get peanut butter on his chocolate? He didn't really get chocolate in her peanut butter? How disappointing.

I don't think they are that popular outside of North America.I've seen them few times in shop but they are expensive.

I do believe the Hershey's main plant truck dock was the hardest dock I've ever put a tractor and 48' trailer into... It was a TIGHT squeeze... But I've been trucking so long now (32 years) that I'd probably find it quite easy... Is the big concrete wall and the railroad tracks still all up in the way??
