Reese is pronounced "REES", so the Reese's is "REES-sehs", just like the commercials. And yeah, it is supposed to rhyme with "Pieces".

 

[F0rneus]

Reese is.

Never heard anyone call them otherwise. Seriously.

 

[Zoator]

It's "Reese is." I feel like the people who pronounce it "Reesees" are the same type of people who pronounce Pokemon "Po-kee-mon."

 

[Christian]

Jif.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Have you never seen a commercial?

 

[F0rneus]

Jif.

Jif = Reeseas
Glorious GIF = Reese is

 

[the-pi-guy]

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.

Reese is = Donald's
Reeseas = Donald seas.

 

[thelatestmodel]

How would she eat them?

Certainly not with 'er spoon, what is this, Seinfeld?

 

[shiftplusone]

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

Patriots fans don't know right from wrong

[Kitsunebaby]

I would question the literacy of someone who pronounces it "Reesees". It makes absolutely no sense.

 

[johnsmith]

Reese is is the correct way because it rhymes with pieces.

I don't I've ever hears the other way.

 

[Littlefang]

So do you guys say Reesea Witherspoon then?

 

[ChazAshley]

Guys, this was all an elaborate scheme to make us go get some Rheese's. I'm leaving now to go get some.

You win this round OP, you win this round.

How else are you supposed to pronounce pokemon????

What the hell is going on here

 

[Ruruja]

Reece-usz.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Hold the phone

Po-kee-mon is just the slowed version of Poke'mon
po-ki-mon

kee ki key

are you saying ki = kai like cuh igh?

 

[Eblo]

I say "Reese is," but I grew up in an area where everybody says "Reeseas." I hate how the latter sounds. There is no reason to pronounce it that way. If Alice owned a tree, would it be "Alice is" tree or "Aliceas" tree?

EDIT:

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

I've heard people say "Reeseas piece-eez."

 

[Keyouta]

Reese is. I've never heard it pronounced seas and I have no idea where people are getting that pronunciation from.

 

[Misha]

Patriots fans don't know right from wrong

As someone from around Pittsburgh this is one of the greatest insults to be lumped in with them

How else are you supposed to pronounce pokemon????

Iirc po Kay mon (there's an accent over the e)

I dunno, but if she owned peanut butter cup place it would be aliceas

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Did anyone encounter dumb kids in school who would say "woof" instead of "wolf?" Man i hated those fucking kids.

 

[siddx]

Rhymes with pieces.

 

[Rest]

I say Reese's. People who say Reesey's disgust me.

 

[itwasTuesday]

poh kayyyyyyyyy mon?

I guess.

 

[Servbot24]

Reese is. However I can pretty easily imagine myself slipping up and saying Reese-ees.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

An example someone might use would be Nestle and Nestle's, but Nestle, alone, is still pronounced "Nest-LEE"(not Nest-ul), so add " 's " to the end and it is "Nest-LEES". Reese, alone isn't pronounced "REE-SEE", but "REES", so adding the " 's " to the end is going to add a soft "ehs" or "ihs"(both are very similar, actually).

I guess a good comparison would be if there was something called Mickey Mouse's Ice Cream. Focusing on the "Mouse's", it is not pronounced "MAUS-SEAS", but "MAUS-is".

Did anyone encounter dumb kids in school who would say "woof" instead of "wolf?" Man i hated those fucking kids.

I actually used to say woof in elementary school, but then I took speech classes to learn how to speak better, and I don't say it that way anymore. My big problem as a kid was that I couldn't pronounce "r" correctly. Instead of saying Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, I'd say "Weese's Peanut Buttah Cup".

 

[daveo42]

Both. It just depends on how fast you say it.

 

[jakonovski]

Exzécutable

 

[Aaron Strife]

I hope none of the Reeseas brigade votes. They can't be trusted to make rational decisions.

 

[cress2000]

I grew up in the Ree-sees timeline but seem to have been transported to the Ree-siz timeline.

 

[DrFunk]

"Reese is", like normal people do. In my experience, heretics from new England pronounce it "reeseas"

 

[GloomyHitsuji]

Jif = Reeseas
Glorious GIF = Reese is

Jif = Reese is = Po-keh-mon
GIF = REeseas = Po-kee-mon

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Well it's Reese, and they're his cups. By that logic, it is Reese's or Reese ehs

.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

I sometimes hear myself saying it both ways from time to time. Must be the universes merging again, I suppose.

 

[Nipo]

Jif = Reese is = Po-keh-mon
GIF = REeseas = Po-kee-mon

No. Stop now. Every word that starts with G, then a vowel, then an F, is pronounced with a hard G.

In what universe is the name Reese pronounced ree-see?

 

[Hale-XF11]

Reese is
Piece is

duh

It's not like it's spelled Reesee's, otherwise it would be the other pronunciation.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

I normally say Reese is, but when it comes to Reese's Pieces. I say reeseas peeseas. It's easier to say when it rhymes.

 

[Aaron Strife]

You do know "reese is" rhymes with "pieces" right

Like

That's the entire pun

 

[pokeystaples]

Reeseas? What the hell? How does that rhyme with "pieces"?

 

[Nipo]

Also, just in case anyone else was having Déjà vu. This thread isn't the beginning of neogaf debating this topic but it is a beginning.

 

[NeonBlack]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

Reeseas PCs.

Jif = Reese is = Po-keh-mon
GIF = REeseas = Po-kee-mon

It's gif and always will be. I'm not playing this stupid game

 

[Hogger]

I've heard people say "Reeseas piece-eez."

I may or may not say this if I'm trying to be an idiot.

 

[abrack08]

I only know one person who says "Reesees," my dad. He's from Connecticut, I'm in Texas, maybe it's a regional thing?

He also says Reesees Peacees and it drives me crazy.

 

[Hale-XF11]

How dumb do you have to be to pronounce 'pieces' as "peaseas?"

I mean, really.

 

[itwasTuesday]

reezy peezys

[VE3TRO]

How do I say my name? 😫

 

[BLOODED_hands]

In what universe is the name Reese pronounced ree-see?

The fuck if I know. Berenstain? Berenstein? *shrugs confusingly*
