I know an article from 10 years ago, but Reecee's pieces and M&M's are like the Mary Ann and Ginger debate from Gilligan's Island.

I'm with Reeses's Pieces.

The youngins out there will not understand the debate.

Have fun its saturday and flame away.

Short answer - M&M’s parent company didn’t want the brand to be associated with a creepy science fiction movie; Reeces jumped at the chance.

The McDonaldland characters were going to be H.R. Puf’n’stuf’ characters but the deal fell through.

Reese’s Pieces also featured in the first Terminator movie.

I love Reese’s Pieces. As for M&Ms, I’ll pass. I’m not into chocolate, so they have never appealed to me. I do love almond M&Ms though.

Some ask “Why Reese's Pieces?”. But others, the visionaries, ask “Why not?”.

‘I’m with Reeses’s Pieces’

So am I. Reese’s Pieces are my favorite candy.
