Hershey’s unveils its Valentine’s Day, Easter 2021 candies

[Takes a deep breath.] Kit Kat fans of America, I have some sad news for you. There will be no new Hershey’s Kit Kat flavors for Valentine’s Day and Easter this year. I repeat: no new Kit Kats for Valentine’s Day and Easter. Instead Hershey’s will be re-releasing Raspberry Crème in January and Lemon Crisp in March. So if you didn’t manage to snag either one of those this past year, now is your chance!

However, I must admit, statistics show that Reese’s fans far outnumber Kit Kat fans. Or at least Reese’s product sales routinely outpace every other division of Hershey’s. As marketing director Ryan Reiss (yes, that’s actually his name; yes, it’s pronounced “Reese”) put it, “The answer is always Reese’s.” And so, when Hershey’s planned its offerings for Valentine’s Day and Easter 2021, everyone went hard on the peanut butter.

A name with the spelling "Reiss" should properly be pronounced as "Rice".

Many immigrants adopted the pronunciation used by the official they met on entering the country.

My wife has a Dutch last name that is pronounced three or four different ways depending on the branch of tree.

Hershey owns the right to Kit Kat ONLY in the U.S. Nestlé has it in the rest of the world. So Hershey may deprecate Kit Kat in some ways.

Nestlé has sold off their U.S candy bars to Ferrara, resulting in even poorer market penetration compared to Hershey and Mars. That is why Nestlé Crunch, Butterfinger and Baby Ruth are less visible than they had been.

Good one!
I can just imagine the commercials for that product.
Lots of CGI. Lots of Barry White music.
