Reese’s Chocolate Controversy Goes Fecal

Hershey’s should have quit while they were ahead.

The chocolate juggernaut has been cranking out America’s favorite peanut butter confection since 1928, which was first introduced by a dairy farmer aptly named H.B. Reese. By the ’80s, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups rose to pop culture status with the successful commercial quip “You put peanut butter in my chocolate!”

Over the years, variations of the chocolate-peanut butter mashup have been introduced, like the Crunchy (a riff on the traditional peanut butter cup, but with a crunchy texture rather than smooth), the Caramel (the traditional cup with an added layer of caramel) and the Inside Out (a reversal of the traditional cup with a smooth chocolatey center). If only they had stopped there.

Odd. I bought a couple when Christmas candy went on sale and they looked like trees, or at least the kind of tree shapes you can get from cookie cutters.

Clickbait OP quotes an article that suggests there might be some sort of health issue with the chocos in question. There isn't one.

Ridiculous click bait article. Summary -- Reese's sells peanut butter "tree" candy at Christmas and it's really not shaped like a tree. Instead, the non-tree shape reminds people who spend every waking moment on Twitter of a lump of poo.

As if we didn't have enough Millennials inanely taking photos of their food
