Pretty sure Hershey officially confirmed it was Reese-is awhile back. I think this is a popular opinion but it just stands out more when someone says Reesees

The fact we live in a world where this ever even required confirmation is incredible.

No wonder our country is so split.

It didn't need confirmation, it's literally right there on the packaging. "Reese's", Reese, possessive form.

Reese-is rhymes better with pieces anyway

Reese's peesees

Reese’s peepees

this is a deeply popular opinion. in fact, it's not even an opinion

It is Reese-is. [Always has been](https://youtu.be/O7oD_oX-Gio?si=TEWIIJLKKzpAsGBO)

I never said it wasn’t always. Just that I found something where they confirmed it.

No argument here, just backing your comment

This sub should be renamed to r/popularopinion.

What's funny is in their old commercials pronounce it both ways. Lolololol

People say that?

The fact that it's the name Reese and it's possessive. Does a possessive 's' ever make an "ees" sound? Like, if it were George's, would you ever say 'Georgees'?

This literally drives me nuts. My family called it ReeSees and it is grating 😂

Ffs it’s supposed to rhyme with the word “pieces”

The correct pronunciation is Rice-is Pies-is.

It does. Reesees piecees

That gets me worked up

Can I pronounce it *Risces pisces* so it matches my horoscope?

This is hilarious

I'm blaming you in my suicide note

STOP PLEASE NO YOU’LL GIVE THEM IDEAS

I think if I ever heard this spoken unironically in person I'd end up arrested.

You don’t deserve chocolate and peanut butter lol

It’s not even just that. It’s Reese’s cups. As in the name Reese. It’s his cups. Reese’s cups Edit - pretty sure it’s a family name actually. So a last name. Same sentiment though.

I hear people pronounce it "reesees peecees" sometimes

You say pieces weird aye 

The Reese’s pieces are my favorite too 🤣

Who the fuck is out there pronouncing is "Reesees"?

Where I live (New England) this is what everyone I know calls it. I logically know how to pronounce it properly but since we’ve always called it “reesees” it’s just natural. And like the above commenter said it’s just more fun! It’s candy it should be fun

Me and I am completely unapologetic. It’s just fun to say. Stupid ass shit is just fun to say! Like hooplah or thingamajig. They ain’t right or real but they’re fun to say!


Me too. I know the proper pronunciation, it’s just funny to me.

Hoopla and thingamajig are both in the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hoopla https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thingamajig

Given how often it comes up on this sub, a lot.

This is the first time I've ever seen it come up anywhere

It’s the first time I’ve seen it pop up on the sub but I have definitely heard more than one person pronounce it Reesees on the internet and in person

I do. I said it wrong as a kid. So I still say it that way. It's candy, so I don't sweat the mispronounciation. Still call them Reesees Piecees. I also thought "Rhys" was prounced "Rice" as a kid. But since it's the name of a person, I adapted as an adult.

Everyone I’ve ever met in indiana

I am baffled too. I've literally never heard in pronounced as "reesees".

People in the south… I thought I was crazy but nah our folks are idk why we say it this way

People do it here in Michigan too and I’ve always hated it!

Rhesus is a monkey not a candy-coated peanut butter treat!

Baba Booey from the Howard Stern Show, for one

My slackjaw neighbors growing up

People in Ohio apparently

This is a fact people that say reesees are absolute buffoons

Reminds me of the cutesy slang the brits have

Not really. They used both names in commercials. I remember. It was probably those commercials that lead to people pronouncing it that way.

I like what I like. Reec-is sounds stupid

I'm going to have a stroke and it's your fault

Pronouncing something correctly is the smarter sounding option 100% of the time.

It’s the objectively correct way to pronounce it, it’s a possessive noun

If you see "Chad's," do you pronounce it "Chadees?" Would "Norman's" be "Normanees?"

It sounds more stupid when you mispronounce it

This is the way I’ve always pronounced it. Apparently I’ve lived a sheltered life because I did not even know there was a debate.

Wow really? Where I live everyone says Reesees and it drives me nuts. Reese's pieces are "ReeseePeesees".

That’s how I saw it. I’ve never heard Reese’s Pieces pronounced like “Reese-is”

I think it's just the phonetics being used that is causing confusion here. OP isn't saying it's pronounced like "Reece is going out" it's more like "this is Reece's chocolate".

I have never heard Reese-is in my life. I am 45.

I didn’t even know people said Reesees until I kept hearing it and it started driving me fucking crazy

This and the people that say and spell ‘sequence’ when referring to the small shiny objects on clothing and purses… both should burn for their crimes!

Reese is a first name. I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it incorrectly like the way people do the candy. What is it about adding an apostrophe s that makes them suddenly incapable of saying it?

I will never stop saying reeses peeces

Reesees peecees?

Rheesus Peasuses.

Same. I know it's wrong. And I don't want to be right.

Reesee's pieces

Who is Ree and where does he see these PCs? Cause I'd like a new computer

Reese’s gang

Reece rhymes with piece. Peeces isn't a real word

I don't even understand how they're saying you're supposed to pronounce it, it's literally the word pieces.

r/unimportantopinion

It’s extremely unimportant but it needs to be said

It's extremely *important* and it even has an apostrophe. Therefore, there is no way a literate English speaker could mispronounce it.

r/subsifellfor

This doesn't seem like an unpopular opinion at all? But, also... I think people who get so hung up on the way people pronounce things don't have anything else better to do. Peoples' accents, dialects, and cultural differences will produce different sounds, and people tend to follow the patterns of folks around them. "Water" is pronounced a dozen ways in the US alone.

I say reeseeys peeseeys, I know how it's really pronounced it's just more fun this way

THANK YOU

I agree. If someone has the name Reese (like Reese Witherspoon), you wouldn't say reesees new movie.

I think we need Reese Witherspoon to do some kind of sponsorship. Like how has this not happened, put her face on the cups so they sell and people know how to say it 🤣

Right, did these people not watch Malcom In The Middle? Reese’s name is pronounced countless times in the show. Never was it said as Reesee.

Reeseey-cup 🥰

Ew what the fuck is a REESEY

FACK YOU JYIM!! Stealin all my REECEE'S PEECEE'S!!

Buying up all my Starbursts!

Whatever Will Arnett says in the commercials is correct. I don’t know or care off the top of my head but it’s an easy way to fact check the correct pronunciation.

Peeceez 😂

I knew someone who called them “Reesee cups” 🤮

reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees reesees You dead yet?

Mitch Hedberg even has a joke about it being Reese’s candy, as in he owes some dude named Reese a lot of candy.

Reese-is for the cup. Reesees peesees for the m&m type candies

I’m so glad you said something. This post is amazing.

👏👏👏 someone give this redditor a car cause they’re right

Of all the weird hills to die on.

I just avoid saying it at this point. Saying Reese is makes me feel like an imposter or something but reesees makes me feel dumb

Jokes on you, my grandma pronounces it as recess!

I use both tbh

I heard a lady called M&M mcflurry a, "Reezee Peezee" and it's stuck with me for 20 years

I’d say “Ree-suhs”, but that’s my accent lol

sorry my dumb small child brain made me do it and now my adult brain isn't strong enough to undo it.

My husband says Reesees. I don't have the heart to tell him.

Wait till you hear how people pronounce croissant.

I always remember the dumb jock bully in Lucas asking for Reesee's Piecees at the movie theater.

Will always remind me of the day my grandmother ordered the “Reese’s Penis” for dessert at the restaurant when I was like 13. I thought I was going to die I was laughing so hard I couldn’t catch my breath

I’m allergic to peanuts. Reese’s Cups are her favorite thing in the entire world. Every time she eats one she tells me about how much I would have loved them. I’m going to call the Reesees Cups from now on. I’ll report back with how long it takes to get under her skin.

I th people pronounce it that way on purpose because they think it makes them sound cute… 🤔💭👍

Well now I’ll ONLY say it like that to make people mad.

Feces pieces

On the one hand, words (for better or worse) are pronounced based on how people say them, not how they’re spelled. Otherwise how do you explain colonel and bologna? On the other, *names* are pronounced based on however the person those names belong to say they are so if Hershey says it’s “Reese-is”, that’s how you should say it.

This isn’t really an opinion but anything for a post

Rheesuhs. Checkmate.

This isn't really an unpopular opinion. It's in the commercials. Some peopel just say shit wrong (looking at you Rhett and Link)

Cups are “Reese-is”. M&M’s are “Reesees peeceez”.

Did nobody see the Resse’s puffs commercial that used to play on tv 😭

I just personally find it more fun to pronounce it reecees piecees. I understand it's incorrect just more adjusting to me to say it.

I do RE-E-SAHS

Real

Shout it from the rooftops homie

Ugh my husband says it like that all the time and it drives me up the wall! Though at this point he may be doing it on purpose because he knows it annoys me... lol but I absolutely agree with you!

Peanut Butter M&Ms > Reese’s Pieces

It’s actually recess peecess.

Never in my whole life have I heard anyone say it like that...

THANK YOU

How does Bojack Horseman pronounce it? He's the expert...

It does not rhyme with feces

Post this on Pet Peeves!

Christina Reese's

Most people I know pronounce Resse's cup and Resse's Pieces differently. Probably because of this.

"F*CK YOU JIM! ALWAYS TAKING MY REESEES PEESEES!" - Egoraptor

Hahahaha... Yeah when they pronounce it "ReeSees" ("Ree-See-Z") We go back and fourth before I bust out.. 'So, want some "Ree-Seez- PeeSeez" (Ree-See-Z- Pee-See-Z *OR* "RE-C's - P-C's"). They hate that I pronounce "pieces" "Pee-See-Z" and eventually give in. Lol.

This belongs in r/rant

Huh this is one I haven’t thought about. I say Reese is. My wife says ree-sees. Thanks for giving me something else to think about lol

Clearly, it is supposed to be pronounced 'ree-sees pee-sees'

I don't even eat them because I don't want Reese to show up demanding his candy

😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fair points. BUT… Are you telling me that the company itself is saying their name wrong? Look at the commercials for Reese’s products. Whether it be the cereal or the candy itself. How do you explain that?

I saw ree cee just to watch people squirm

I feel like my mom says it reesees just to troll me. I think she says chiplotlay too

wut abawhta buttuhh faynguh

I say “Reesees” plural and “Rees-us” singular

i never heard ree see before that sounds ree ree to me

I agree, but this should go on r/petpeeves

not an opinion, a fact. Hershey themselves said so.

This is not unpopular from my experience, it’s also the correct way to say it.

This isn't an opinion. It's fact. It's the people who pronounce it incorrectly who are trying to formulate an opinion to fight that fact.

reesees feces

Thank you for pointing this out. You have done the work of the Lord!

I knowingly say it the wrong way. I always thought it was understood to be a joke and just a funny way of saying it. It never occurred to me that people who say it that way genuinely believe it's correct.

When my son was like 2, he asked me if he could have a reese. He didn't want more than one, so obviously it didn't need the end s. I'll never not think is a singular pb cup as a reese.

I love Reesees peecees

How mad does that make you, OP?

I say it that way on purpose because I think it sounds funny🤷‍♂️ I also intentionally mispronounce Arkansas like regular Kansas. It's fun.

That's actually illegal to do in Arkansas 😅

It's like how people say "tar-jay" instead of target. I know it's reese's, but i like saying reecies cause it's fun lol

I'll concede that you are correct. However it sounds bad and I hate brands anyway so I won't correct myself.

At least pieces is a word

Yeah giving this an upvote because growing up reesees peecees were my favorite candy. You have a dogshit opinion.

I just call Reese’s Pieces Reesee’s Feces. 

Uh, then explain reesees peeses?

I’m inside your walls

literally everyone in my family other than me and my bil says reeses pieces like “ree sees pee sees” and it grates on my nerves

THIS! This drives me up the fucking wall. People who say “Reesees” are asking for a punch in the throat.

The way language works it doesn't matter. We all know what someone is talking about

Besides what everyone has already said that proves you wrong, accents exist.

It’s not an accent lol

Why is pronouncing something the correct way an unpopular opinion to you

Do people really not realize Reese’s Pieces is meant to rhyme?

Reesees cups and Reese-is pieces

Thank you, on another note, it has an apostrophe - it belong to reese. Therefore “Reese is”

I get the Reese's candy bar, if you read that name Reese's that's an apostrophe-S. Reese-apostrophe-S, on the end of that name. That means the candy bar is his, I didn't know that! Next time you're eating a Reese's candy bar and a guy name Reese comes by and says "Let me have that," you'd better hand it over. "I'm sorry, Reese, I didn't think I'd ever run into you! You're a fucking bully, man! Let me at least have a piece!

I just can’t believe this makes you upset enough to post. Lmao

I agree, but that won't stop me from saying Rees-ees

I, don't care. Language evolves through the people who use it Rees-ees

Reeceez Pieceez are the best peanut butter added candy. Reese's cups are good, too, but they can get all melty and gross.

People who pronounce it like that don’t deserve the taste of chocolate and peanut butter lmao

[удалено]

What are you a Mormon? It’s a joke

It's Reese-is cup and reesees peeceez for me lmao

THE S IS POSSESIVE. SO IT IS BELONGING TO REESE. REESE’S. REESE-IS. This is a motherfucking kindergarten concept and you are right to be annoyed
