It is a regular Reese’s, just enormous.
It is made by Reese’s and on their packaging.

Here is a pack of 2 8oz cups:

For Christmas I get a single 1 lb. cup that took a week to eat.
I did not find that listed right now.
Maybe it was special for Christmas.

Soft g is the way I learned back in the 80s...
Was always annoying when non-computer literate (and millenials) used the hard g..

Wrong.. I started computers in 1980, and was taught soft g (I sound).

JIF is Americana. Good peanut butter, too! Their Chocolate Cheesecake Flavored Hazelnut Spread is great for easing sweet tooth cravings, if you get those.
(I’ve always said “jif” - with the j sound - for both the spread and the image format.)

Like the old SCSI divide. Sadly, the “scuzzy” pronunciation won.

The text is confusing - but if you look at the jars, it says GIF is a HARD g in that little seal...

Ha! I still have an Iomega Zip Drive down in my basement, on the electronic shelves, in a box. A real museum piece.

The photo contradicts the article:

I agree with Bagster, "hard G" it is!

You say potatos, I say potatoes. Either way is OK.
