How do you pronounce that delicious Peanut butter cup?

[ULEWZ]

Do you pronounce it Rees-IS, like it rhymes with pieces:
Or do you pronounce it Rees-EES?

 

[AndyL0711]

i had to think about it for a second and say both ways a few times....but it's rees-ees for me

 

[MSEASU]

The first way.

 

[Snickerdog]

Doesn't matter, open package, eat, drink milk and have the second one.

 

[checkered]

People say the second way??? Interesting.

 

[Snickerdog]

Poople say the second way??? Interesting.

Just the poople, but not the people.

 

[checkered]

Dammit!!! Stupid thumbs.

I mean, if they pronounce it that way....

only weird people

 

[Ludin]

Rhymes with pieces.

Quite easily. Let's settle this.

We can determine how the first word on this label is pronounced by looking at the second word. I don't think we are going to argue how "pieces" is pronouced:

pee · suhz

So, assuming that "Reese's" is a smart company, they hired an advertising company to come up with the name for this candy. That ad company did not choose "pee-suhz" to rhyme with "ree-seas".

Therefore, "ree-suhz" "pee-suhz" is the correct way to pronounce the first word.

Or do you pronounce it Rees-EES?

I mean I think they wanted the Reese's Pieces thing to rhyme.

 

[ULEWZ]

Didn't the Reeces cups come out before the pieces?

 

[OldandStiff]

Didn't the Reeces cups come out before the pieces?

That's probably what the want us to think. That they were clever after the fact.

 

[GolfTravelDude]

I just eat em rather than pronounce them.

[CBaker]

I hear the second option way way way more FWIW. I also say the 2nd way, but I also don't tend to say it because I don't like them.

 

[Parrot]

The first is the correct and proper way. The second appears to be Ohio.

 

[CBaker]

Well people from the south can't seem to pronounce Ohio correctly either.....so maybe we're even?

I hate when people say reee-ceee's peee-ceee's.

There's more than one way to pronounce O-hi-o?

 

[blugold]

I hate when people say reee-ceee's peee-ceee's.

It's grating, but I do it ironically.

You know, the hilarious dad move when we intentionally mispronounce words to make them sound funny.

Do you pronounce it Rees-IS, like it rhymes with pieces:
Or do you pronounce it Rees-EES?

The right way: Rees-IS

Like Oye-ho-O?
