click here if you pronounce the peanutbutter cup brand as "ree sees"
What the hell is wrong with you
|
how the fuck else would you say it
|
maybe the way they say it in the commercials idunno
|
You pronounce it as Reese's, because that's what it is.
It's a proper name. Reese. Then you add the possession = 's. Reese's. Reese is. It's his candy. |
I pronounce it "Rees-iz"; I thought that's how everyone said it >_>.
|
I thought so too until a NOW FORMER FRIEND pronounced it all retarded-like
|
Well if you say it like ree-SEEs, yeah it sounds retarded
I don't even know how I say it half the time, to be honest. |
I just eat it like normal people.
|
God I hate it when people say "REE-SEES." I don't know why; I just do.

Ree-sees is a pronunciation left over from childhood. At least, that's my story.
|
You were beaten as a child, weren't you. :(

It's more like Reeses. Rh-ee-se-es.
Just forget about it and everyone come back to JIFF love'n. JIFF! |
I pronounce it two ways, depending upon the product.
For the peanut butter cups, yes, I say REE-SEES. Why? Because that's how I learned it. That's how the fucking commercials say it. "REE-SEES! PEA-NUT BUTTER CUP!" So that's good enough for me. However, I say REE-SUHZ PEE-SUHZ for the Pieces. Why? Because it rhymes and it makes logical sense. I'd never say PEE-SEEZ elsewhere, so why deviate for the candy? And the commercials for Reese's Pieces say PEE-SUHZ, unlike the peanut butter cup ads. I know Reese is a name, and that it makes sense to say REE-SUHZ all the time, but I don't care that I sometimes say REE-SEEZ. I mean, their own ads make that sin, so don't blame me for agreeing with the people who make the damned things. |
I have never, ever heard a Reese's peanut butter cup commercial pronounce the name as "Ree-sees". Ever. They all say "Ree-suhz". I just looked a whole bunch of them up on Youtube. All of them say "Ree-suhz". Even the older one from the 1980s.
|
I do the ol' "Reese-is", too.
|
Perhaps it's just the Buffalonian accent, then. I know I'm not the only person around here who says REE-SEEZ. I think a lot of people do it, which is why it seems so inoffensive to me.
And that could also be why I remember the old commercials saying "REE-SEEZ", because that's just the way I learned it and my brain perhaps modified my perceptions of the jingle to match. But big deal. We gave you fuckers buffalo wings. The least you can do is grant us a little slack with the way we pronounce Reese's. |
i eat it, i like it, i don't care how people pronouce it.
|
exactly, who cares who it's pronounced, just enjoy it
|
Ummm, I say Reese's Peanut Buttercups.
I love them... Reese's Pieces are great too. Used to be a personal favorite of mine. |

Don't change mate, keep saying "ree-siz" Those people you should ignore and fuck'em. |

In any case, I pronounce it ree-seez. I realize that it really should be literally pronounced, but that's the only way that I've known to pronounce it. |

Im not sure if her being from Louisiana had anything to do with it, but if someone has a similar story maybe we could compare and contrast. |
