I just pulled out some Reese's cups and they appear to be different than normal. They have a slightly shorter radius, but are think. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio appears to have increased and a chunk of the chocolate of the bottom of the cup is no longer sticking to the packaging. All in all it seems to produce a better tasting peanut butter cup. Has anyone else noticed this? It is possible I am going crazy but I feel fairly confident about this. I am in Toronto and I am fairly certain this is a recent change since the cups I ate in October were not like this, so I was just wondering if anyone else could vouch for this.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I can definitely vouch for this.

 

[Dereck]

They are still good as fuck.

 

[Branduil]

Are they still better after being chilled in the freezer for a few minutes?

 

[Ra\/en]

I have not noticed a difference. They still taste great like always.


I actually have a craving for that peanut butter puff cereal. SO GOOD.

Who gives a shit how it tastes. The real question is, how do you eat your Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?

Very quickly, in multiples of three.

Edit: With approximately 650 mL of milk on the side.

 

[Dishwalla]

Haven't had a Peanut Butter cup in ages. Eat Reese's Pieces on a semi-regular basis though.

They were never better, slightly melty reeses were the best

 

[DonMigs85]

I wonder if the miniature cups were affected too.
Still want to try this one day:

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Hmm, I'll have to investigate this. I haven't had a peanut butter cup in a while ever since they replaced the peanut butter with salted paste, or at least that's what it tasted like.

Man, I feel guilty after eating even one of those delicious fucks.

Which one rhymes with Pieces? That's your answer.

 

[zerotol]

I have no idea if they've changed. But buy the 4 pack.

 

[Goro Majima]

I used to eat the suckers all the time when I was 12 back in like '93 and I'm almost positive that the taste is the same.

Not sure about the chocolate-PB ratios or the overall quality of the product but the taste is definitely the same.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Nestle Crunch bars are the real travesty. GTFO with that wafer-thin bullshit.

I miss Krackle.

I ordered this from Hershey's at http://www.hersheysstore.com/product/7667
Was good but not "OMG" good so to speak. I think I prefer the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter of the regular (or even king) size versions. Still was fun to try and I didn't exactly portion it out as I probably should have ;-)

 

[Pachterballs]

this stuff is disgusting. bite sized portions of diabetes.

 

[SlowRevolution]

I noticed it too, I think they're worse now.

 

[Shrennin]

The best Reese's is the Reese's Cremes. Those things are so good. So good.

Dammit, now I have Diabeetus.

 

[soco]

They have definitely changed, but not for the better. The chocolate is f'n disgusting.

 

[watershed]

Still the best thing out there. Love me some chocolate and peanut butter.

 

[EightBitNate]

Exactly.

Yeah right. Diabetes never tasted so good.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

The real mystery is why the egg/pumpkin/tree shapes are so much fucking better.


It's just a different shape right?

Chill those bitches and grab some milk.

A month or so ago, someone on reddit complained about the chocolate sticking to the cups. Another redditor responded and said he worked in the research department and they were developing a new formula that would prevent sticking without drastically changing the taste/composition.

Amazing.

Halloween chocolates also got smaller.

Thank you, science.

One candy that I know changed are Starburst. They aren't what they used to be.

I literally caught diabetes just thinking about eating those things.

 

[SolKane]

Had one of these this year for Halloween, probably the first one I've had in 10 years. Tasted exactly like they did when I was a child, absolute shit.

 

[Necromanti]

Good thing I already have diabetes then.

 

[Alex Anderson]

From when I was on a Reese's kick early this year (I have since moved on to Kit Kats )...

I bought an 8-cup individually wrapped package and the ones in there were the smaller radius ones (and perhaps more chocolately as a result) vs. the ones that come in the 2-pack or the indivudually wrapped 10-pack.

The 8-pack was curiously inexpensive, so it made sense

 

[Mully]

Childhood left me when they left.

 

[Grinchy]

I loved these things as a kid, but now I find them kind of gross. Whatever is contained within tastes neither of chocolate nor peanut butter.

The chocolate part seems like typical Hershey's Milk Chocolate to me, but yeah the PB part is quite unlike Skippy or Jif in taste and texture.

Yep. Dee best.

 

[blainethemono]

I always thought the Sam's Choice bags of individually wrapped peanut butter cups were better than Reeses. I don't even know if they make them anymore though. I haven't seen them in a long time

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Reese's always had the shittiest gritty peanut butter inside, and terrible chocolate. These are incredible, though:

Fuck this thread.

So hungry for some Reese's now.

WELL LOOK AT MISTER NEW YORK CITY LAWYER AND HIS NICE CHOCOLATE.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Peanut butter. Sugar. Salt. Chocolate.

Make your own!
