[butters]

Now who's the rebel.

*looks around*...

well rees sounds different to reece - to me, anyway, like trees and fleece, a subtle but definite difference. maybe it's an english english thing?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Huh. I've never heard it in my life not being pronounced "reece-seas." Even the commercials never said it any different.

True. But they don't the soft c in phonetics with a c though.

So technically you're not only a Reeses rebel you're a phonetics rebel too.

Ree-sez.

This. As in ... "Get your grubby paws OFF my ree-sez cups!!!"

 

[Jada59]

Ree-sez.

Yep.

 

[Paul_Chance]

Reese-is. Dammit, now I am wondering what's right. OCD trigger! OCD trigger!

 

[pantalaimonlyra]

We call them "Reesies Piecies" no matter what Reese's version we munch on.

Mine's not on here. I literally pronounce it Reese's. Like it belongs to Reese.

Which is an actual name and has a pronunciation, like Malcolm's brother on Malcolm in the middle.

Edit: Ree-ce-es, I guess? Maybe 'sea' in the middle? Or 'cee'?
But not like it's two syllables like Ree-sea. It's all one syllable, real fast. Reece, I guess, is the best way to write it phonetically?

Holy shit I do that too. That's weird. I never thought about that but I change the pronunciation for the Reesies Peecess.

What the fuck? That's weird.

Also those are terrible. I think I'm getting M&Ms and then I don't.

Also, after Halloween me & BS went and cleaned the wal-mart the fuck out and we got these Reese Cups that had Reeses's pieces INSIDE them, and I didn't know it because I was in a post Halloween sugar high and was just, I guess, grabbing shit at random like some kind of candy goblin- it was shockingly crowded, I had to send the kid into the throng because she's small and maneuverable and can just bob and weave- so I got home and I was like, "What the FUCK!?"

Then I ate one, and-
Holy hell mana of the fucking gods.

I don't like them individually, but you put that shit inside a normal reecee cup? It adds the crunch that I didn't know they needed. Those things are good as HELL.

Thank you. It seems a little deader than before.

Also, upon reflection of this topic - when I say Reece's pieces I pronounce it rees-is, but if i just say Reece's than I use the hard 'E' at the end. Interesting.
