Yes, he did. It's spelled R-e-e-s-e-'-s (as in Peanut Butter Cups) because
they have the three Big Ones: fat, sugar and salt.

Good and Plenty tastes like hell. As a kid I would nibble off the
candy coating and throw the little turd inside away.

Mallow Cups were always better than Reeses PBC's. IMO, of course.

I don't care for peanut butter and chocolate together. Candy bars I
like include, 100 Grand, Milky Way, Twix, and Heath.

Bzzzzt! Sorry, the correct answer is Snickers, but Reese's Peanut
Butter Cups would also be accepted as being correct.


I think Tootsie Rolls are older than Good and Plenty. I have never
tasted Good and Plenty.

When I was a kid my mother loved Circus Peanuts, none of us children
would touch them. lol

100 Grand Bars were included in a bag of Halloween candy I bought last
year. I tried them for the first time, I was impressed, they are pretty
good.

If you like $100K, but a boc of Little Debbie Star Crunch's for
about $1.40. They are very similar, except LD's have a gooey
molasses cookie inside (along with all the other goop). And they're
much cheaper for what you get.

I liked them as a kid. Now I think they taste like acetone smells.

How about those horrible waxed paper (orange and black) wrapped
taffies that people used to hand out for Halloween back in the day?

At the movies, growing up, it was either a big box of Milk Duds or Sno
Caps.

I still enjoy a "Kit Kat" bar on occasion.

Must have been an Iowa thing...

How about those candy/frosting dots on waxed paper? You inevitably
ended up eating a lot of waxed paper.
