UPSIDE:
When was the last time you had some Reese's Pieces? No, honestly, how long has it been? Guess what -- you're missing out. While many candy bars and snacks try to simulate the peanut butter taste with chocolate, this is the closest it gets to not overbearing. And not oversaturated with a fatty, greasy feel to the candy, itself. (Like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.)
DOWNSIDE:
M&Ms are a candy that you can eat in mass quantities for hours and not realize you've been a glutton. But more than four handfulls of "the Pieces" and they begin to wear you down. And take a look at some of the ingredients. Resinous glaze? Carnauba wax? Sounds like you're eating stuff you should be putting on the bottom of your surf board.
1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:
Sugar
Partially defatted peanuts
Blend of vegetable oils
Nonfat milk
LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:
Soya Lecithin
Resinous glaze
Carnauba wax
Vanillin
PACKAGING:
Classic.
DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):
YES!
WHICH SOUTH PARK CHARACTER WOULD LIKE IT BEST?:
If ET is any guide, then the South Park aliens would love them.
HOW CAN THE PRODUCT BE IMPROVED:
Time for a new ad campaign of something. Reese's Pieces are the Abe Vagoda of snacks -- people remember them in their prime, but no one can remember seeing them recently.
