I say reeseas peeseas. Fight me.

 

[Indelible]

Reese-is, I just assumed that was the right pronunciation.

 

[Misha]

It might potentially be regional. I'm also from western pa and I've always heard and said reeseas


Too late to change now /shrug

 

[Ray Wonder]

I say reeseas peeseas. Fight me.

This man knows what he's talking about

 

[ThatStupidLion]

reese is


and the little m&ms are "reese is piece is"

 

[GuitarGuruu]

I've heard someone say reeseas peeseas unironically.

 

[Dishwalla]

I hates meeces to pieces!

 

[jaypah]

My brain hurts. I literally cannot understand how anyone can think it's "Ree-seas"?

Reese apostrophe S. It's a thing belonging to Reese.

For people confused I don't think anyone is reading the word and coming to that conclusion. It's more than likely that someone pronounced it wrong and it got passed along. People hear the name of candy far more than they read the name of candy and considering most of us probably learned about Reese's as a child it's not odd to me that the pronounciation got screwed. I know people that say zink instead of sink and urnge instead of orange but it's not because they can't read. It's just what they came up hearing.

 

[Faiz]

It's not we like don't have decades of TV commercials pronouncing it for us, even if it wasn't supremely obvious.

 

[Davey Cakes]

How is it even a debate? Reese is a person. Reese's is a possessive.

 

[superdeluxe]

We've always said Reese is

I think its because re say Reese Is, Piece Is

Whenever we get milkshakes with Reeses in them they say Reeseas. Its odd to us lol.

 

[Sushi Nao]

Reese'

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Reeseas

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

I've always pronounced them Reeseas Peaseas :/

 

[Jon Carter]

Yes. "Ree-seas" is objectively wrong.

I don't get it. Doesn't it mean it should be pronounced "ree-seas" if you want it to rhyme with "pieces"? I thought the OP meant "do you pronounce it 'riss' or 'rizz'." I pronounce it "riss" because it rhymes with "piece".

No cheeses for us meeces!

 

[Zelias]

Reese-is

 

[Pamplemousse]

It's definitely Reese-is, but I sometimes say it the other way because it's fun.

 

[CopperPuppy]

I do not understand this at all. It couldn't possibly be clearer:

It's literally "Reese's," named after the founder of some old candy company. It's the possessive of that dude's name.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I've always pronounced them Reeseas Peaseas :/

There's no such thing as "pieces" that are pronounced like "PCs."

 

[HvySky]

Reeseas



I've always pronounced them Reeseas Peaseas :/

If you were to, say, ask someone for a piece of something, would you say "May I have a peasea of that X, please?"

Because that'd be some shit right there.

 

[BajiBoxer]

I don't know how I pronounce it now :-(

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Man you reesees people are the worst

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Neither

Reese ess

 

[Stevey]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

yeah, exactly

 

[TheTylerRob]

My girlfriend say's ree-sees, because her father say's ree-sees. He is illiterate.

 

[thelatestmodel]

I don't know how I pronounce it now :-(

Reese-is. You pronounce it Reese-is, or else.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Reese-is, I just assumed that was the right pronunciation.

That's me. A possessive form of the last name "Reese".

 

[DOWN]

Reeseas? Are people in this thread serious?

Do you say Reeseas best movie when you are talking about Legally Blonde?


It's a possessive form of the name Reese. Rhymes with Pieces

 

[Joeku]

It's fucking "Reese's" you fucking monsters. "REE-SUZ".

This isn't even arguable. It's literally a possessive proper noun. Shit ain't complicated.

 

[Confused101]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

Debate over.

I've only heard "Reesee's" when someone was purposely trying to be cute.

 

[jond76]

It ain't rocket science: rhymes with "pieces"

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Rees-ess is the way i have always said it.

 

[Jon Carter]

There's no such thing as "pieces" that are pronounced like "PCs."

I'm confused. I don't see the difference in pronunciation between the two.

 

[Bread]

Dringus

lol smh

 

[DOWN]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

Seriously. How the fuck did people say Reeseas?

 

[kribz]

 

[disappeared]

Reesez

 

[thelatestmodel]

Rees-ess is the way i have always said it.

No, that's a short break in between lessons...

 

[catbird]

If I'm not paying attention...

"Ree-seas"

Damn w/e, regionalism are cute right? o.o

 

[arab]

reeseas is wrong and you should feel bad for saying it

 

[spliced]

If Reese Witherspoon had some pieces what would you call them.

 

[Ray Wonder]

It ain't rocket science: rhymes with "pieces"

So reesees peesees

 

[Nipo]

It rhymes with pieces i thought that was obvious.

Edit: Glad i'm not the first to point this out.

Reese's, pronounced Reesees.

Hey Ghaleon he called us dumbies

hahaha

 

[User 479360]

Reese-is

I don't see the word "seas" in there.

It's like saying "Donald's" with ownership. Things would be different if there were two 'e's at the end.

 

[Pamplemousse]

So reesees peesees

Reesee's Feces.

 

[Raptomex]

"Reese is". My friend says "Reese-ease". He's a savage.

 

[Nipo]

It is regional. Northern New England most people say Reesee's.
