Talk:Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

message: According to the edition I am looking at, the six Reese brothers merged their company with Hershey's in a stock swap worth $99 billion 1963 dollars.  Given the fact that Apple Computer is currently worth about $6 billion in 2014 dollars, I believe this is an error and the figure should be $99 million.  But I don't know this for a fact, so I'm not changing it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.138.144.190 (talk) 18:54, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I cited this entry as a source for that quote a few days ago, but now it's gone.
I'm interested to learn why or how to put it back. I think it's reasonable that wikipedia document a certain amount of 1970's pop culture. Is it necessary to cite a source in
cases like this? Surely noone would dispute that Reese's commercials included
that tag line. I guess I'll read up more on
"no advertising" policies... DanConnolly 17:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Re:"In Canada, where they are known as Reese Peanut Butter Cups, the cups come in a standard pack-size of two cups, three cups or the king-size variation with four cups"
I am almost certain that in Canada, the three-pack is common, the four-pack relatively rare, and the two-pack is non-existant. The two-pack is associated (in Canada) with being American, and seen only on American TV. 
Could someone please verify this and change article? I would myself, but am novice user and also unsure of packaging outside Canada. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by the special customer tahts wht ee here 207.148.160.42 (talk) 21:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the # 1 selling candy bar While researching for sales figures to prevent the Germany Version of this Article from deltion, I did not find very good figures about candy sales, but the figures I found indicate that either Snickers or M&Ms seem to be the #1 Brand. Does any one have relieable and recent data?

message: Mitch Hedberg has a comedy routine about the apostrophe in the name "Reese's Peanut Butter Cup", saying how it's his candy, and if you ever meet Reese you should give it to him. I think it should be added.
*Regarding the "pop culture references" section, there are many references to the "You got chocolate in my peanut butter" commercial, but nothing about that can be found in the article itself.  This can be confusing. JuJube 04:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

i can find no information on this new bar, on the Hershey's site or otherwise, unless im overlooking it. any more information? 216.152.209.73 01:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Has anyone else noticed the major taste change in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups since the wrapping has been swapped from paper to plastic? It happened to Oreo's too... :( A friend of mine once accidently ordered a "Reese's Penis" at a local movie theater... We got a good laugh on that. -Rayne 14:01, 15 Februaury 2008 (UTC)
Acutally yes the plastic ones don't taste anywhere near as good.  I've seen at several grocery stores and Wal-Marts where the plastic ones are the only ones left on the shelves because no one wants them.  Although more recently they seem to have to gone back to the paper wrapping.  I guess they realized that the plastic wrapping was killing sales. --DarkMastero (talk) 01:42, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you guys know something I don't?  Or has just no-one noticed this before?

replies: text: As mentioned in the first paragraph of the article, Reese's are made by Hershey's. It's not a company, but the name is used by other Hershey's products, as well as licensed out to other companies who wish to use the flavor. 69.95.233.55 (talk) 18:50, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

message: You know how they are selling hershey products with packaging right now that looks like packagine from years and years back?  On the Reeses packaging it says since 1923.  So is that a reference to hershey's or to when reeses became avaliable, because this page says 1928. 65.42.121.131 (talk) 04:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello, I have a package of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups (UPC-A 03444009) purchased in California about a week ago; the package doesn't mention anything about Mexico. It just states:
Mfd. by H.B. Reese Candy Co.
Hershey, PA 17033-0815, U.S.A.
A Division of The Hershey Company
There are no markings on the package whatsoever indicating that Mexico was in any way involved. I believe the blanket statement about the product being produced in Mexico exclusively is false, however I would not doubt that Hershey was producing some of the product there; just not 100% as claimed.--72.87.131.203 (talk) 08:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

message: As currently written it is implied that the quote is a direct quote from the FDA when in fact it is partially commentary from the cited article. Upon thinking about this futher, is the quote even necessary? The page for PGPR that is linked to just above the quote has the FDA information about safe consumption rates.

message: Much of this article is devoted to the Reese's brand. That is, those products of the Hershey Company that are peanut butter based and carry the Reese name. Can this material be split out, leaving only the actual cups? --Khajidha (talk) 13:03, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reese's Cups vs Reese's brand 

message: According to Hershey and your reference #20, Reese's Cups no longer contain PGPR at all or as a replacement for cocoa butter. This section should be removed from the article as soon as possible. (Note? I have no interest in nor link to Reese's or Hershey, I'm just interested in truth.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swbaker (talk • contribs) 19:13, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to remove it, but not for the reasons you list. It is listed as an ingredient on the archived ref 20, and it still is an ingredient per https://smartlabel.hersheys.com/00034000004409-0010#ingredients It is listed as an emulsifier, not as a replacement for cocoa butter, and cocoa butter is listed as an ingredient.

replies: text: I have no objection to listing this as one of the ingredients if we add a list of all the ingredients, but it should not be in a stand-along criticism section which incorrectly claims it is a replacement for cocoa butter, and for which we have no ref showing it is a controversial ingredient.
