Are you pronouncing the name of Hershey’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups accurately? It’s a beloved candy, yet there’s debate over its correct enunciation.
When Parade.com inquired about the pronunciation of this popular confection, a Hershey's representative referred them to a Halloween advertisement featuring the voiceover of actor/comedian Will Arnett.
Parade observed that the pronunciation of the candy is akin to the possessive case of Reese Witherspoon's name, suggesting it should sound similar to "pieces."
Although Hershey's articulates the name of the peanut butter cups as Rees-IS, it's common to hear people refer to them as Rees-EES.
