A Peanut Butter Odyssey: Behind Reese's Delicious History
It's no secret that America has a soft spot for Reese's.
After all, who can resist the allure of velvety peanut butter wrapped in a cozy blanket of rich chocolate?
But there's so much more to the Reese's story than meets the eye. Dive in with me as we unravel some fascinating tidbits about this beloved confection!
First off, let's address the elephant in the room—or rather, the almond. Before Reese's iconic peanut butter cups graced our taste buds, H.B. Reese took a swing at the candy world with chocolate-covered almonds and raisins.
Unfortunately, his venture turned out to be less sweet than he'd hoped.
It seems the universe nudged him in the direction of the dairy industry before leading him back to the candy arena.
And speaking of those early ventures, Reese wasn't shy about keeping things in the family. His initial candy successes? Bars named after his very own offspring.
There was the Lizzy Bar, a delightful combo of caramel and coconut, and the Johnny Bar, molasses-packed and named in honor of his son.
These initial successes eventually paved the way for Reese's renowned peanut butter cups.
Prices sure have changed over the years. Once upon a time, you could snag a Reese's cup for a mere penny. Talk about a sweet deal!
And if you think Reese's took the world by storm with a significant marketing campaign, think again.
Initially, they didn't stand solo; they were part of a five-pound assorted candy bag, modestly waiting for their time to shine.
Here's a twist: Reese's owes a nod to World War II for its popularity surge.
With sugar and chocolate in short supply, Reese smartly leaned on the one ingredient that wasn't rationed: peanut butter.
This move set the brand apart and solidified its spot in candy history.
Have you ever seen E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial? A particular scene with an adorable alien snacking on candy might come to mind.
Initially, Spielberg wanted M&M's for this iconic moment, but when that didn't work out, Reese's Pieces had their moment in the spotlight—and what a moment it was!
The scene tugged at our heartstrings and catapulted Reese's Pieces' sales to the moon!
