Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 11:35 am Central Time This has been bugging me for years, so I'm finally gonna ask. I've heard the name of this candy pronounced two ways almost consistantly through the years. So how do you pronounce "Reeses Pieces?" (1) Ree-Sez Pee-Sez (2) Ree-Sees Pee-Sees I always used option one. But I know so many people in real life and on TV that use option 2.

I've always thought that the correct pronuciation for Reeses is Ree-sez (at least when I see anything about the Hershey company that's how they pronounce it!).

Obviously "Reese's" is supposed to rhyme with "pieces". And the creator of the peanut butter cup was named "Reese", which rhymes with "geese". His name wasn't pronounced "Ree-see". _________________ You're way too intelligent for my sarcasm. Current Terror Level:

Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:45 pm Central Time Option one for me too. Here in the deep south (or redneck heaven) most call the famous chocolate covered peanut butter cups: Reesee Cuups I would venture to guess they refer to the peanut butter in the hard candy shell in the same manner. _________________ People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.

Must be a regional thing. _________________ "Every heartbeat is a soundtrack to your life" ~ Kylie Minogue
