history
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were created in 1928 by HB Reese , a former milk producer and delivery master for Milton S. Hershey . Reese was inspired by Hershey and so left his dairy farm to start his own candy business. HB Reese Candy Co. initially produced and used Hershey's chocolate in the basement of Reese's house, which was located in Hershey, Pennsylvania . Reese's Peanut Butter Cups was his biggest success. In the 1940s and 1950s, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups became known nationally. Years after Reese's death in 1963, HB Reese Candy Co. was sold to the Hershey Company for $ 23.5 million.

marketing
In the US , Reese's Peanut Butter Cups usually come in packs of two, four or eight with an orange color. Each individual bar is in its own paper packaging. The “Classic” pack contains two 0.75 oz. (≈ 21.2 g) bars, the “King Size” pack of four 0.70 oz. (≈ 19.8 g) bars and the “Lunch” pack of eight 0.55 oz. (≈ 15.6 g) bar. In Canada, the "Peanut Butter Cups" are packaged as Reese Peanut Butter Cups.
In the 1970s and 80s, a series of advertisements ran for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups showing two people, one eating peanut butter and the other eating chocolate, bumping into each other . One person says, “You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!” (You smeared your peanut butter on my chocolate!), The other says, “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!” (You got your chocolate in mine Peanut butter made!). They then try the mixture and say the slogan : “Two great tastes that taste great together.” (Two great tastes that taste great together!).
Other slogans from the 1990s would be “How do you eat a Reese's?” And “There's no wrong way to eat a Reese's.” (There is no wrong way to eat a Reese's.) .
In 2002, 108.9 million peanut butter cups were sold for $ 54.1 million.
