What about Chipotle as Chip-ole-tee?

That one doesn't bother me as much, as most of the country is not as exposed to Spanish/Mexican pronunciation as other parts. There is absolutely no excuse though for "Reesees" or "expresso". None. The only other one for me up there with those two is "Acrost" for across. It's like, where the hell did the T come from? lol

 

[Lumination]

Wait it's not Ree sees pie seas?

 

[mclem]

Reese is. Positive.

 

[Glass Joe]

lol 5 pages really? we've been linked to advertisements reminding us of the correct pronunciation!

wait, reese's puffs cereal is no longer a thing? I remember liking that growing up.

 

[SmackDaddy]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

yup, reesee's peecees.

It's still around down here in Texas. Haven't seen any commercials on it it a long time, but then I also don't watch children's channels much anymore either.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Reece is. Rhymes with pieces.

Like Reece possesses the cup or pieces.

 

[dc3k]

yup, reesee's peecees.

Who pronounces pieces as peecees? wtf is wrong with you people

 

[backflip10019]

I don't give a fuck what you call them I just ate 5

 

[Poyunch]

I-uh say it like "Reece-says". Like it rhymes more with pieces.

 

[WedgeX]

I say....both.

My pronunciation knows no discrimination in this case.

 

[B.O.O.M]

I say it like Jesus..with an R

 

[Sera O]

Reesees people, how would you describe something that belongs to Denise?

Deneesees?

So weird.

 

[Count Dookkake]

I don't give a fuck what you call them I just ate 5

Do you pronounce that fivee?

 

[WordAssassin]

I do t even u derstand how there is any debate at all when the official commercials pronounce the name Reese is. Like I don't think the marketing would mispronounce their product.

Never mind the overwhelming evidence of how the English language works with possessives, they are peanubutter cups that belong to Reese. And the fact that it's meant to rhyme with pieces.

 

[Wolfe]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

Yeah it would be one thing if their ads didn't sound it out for you, but there's no room for discussion unless you'd like to discuss how incorrectly you say it.

This man knows what he's talking about

So reesees peesees

Edit: if you really pronounce the word pieces as peesees...

Hey Ghaleon he called us dumbies

hahaha

Lol sorry dude, you (and the few posters you found that agree with you) are the odd one(s).

 

[rocketskates]

Reesees

 

[Octavia]

I-uh say it like "Reece-says". Like it rhymes more with pieces.

Yeah, why would anyone say pees? Do people say peicees?

It's Reece-Ez, Peece-Ez.

^ Official proof. Everyone else is wrong.

 

[J-Tier]

Reece-is. I have never heard it the other way.

 

[BruceCLea]

It's fucking Reese Is

Holy shit my Flashback Processing Duodenum just blew an O-ring. Suppressed memory right there!

 

[vikki]

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

What exactly is northern New England? I'm from NH and people say "Reese Is". I've heard people say reeseas, but I never thought that's how they think it's pronounced.

 

[lem0n]

Ree-seas

This. My favorite thing in the world to say is Ree-seas Peace-ees

Edit: to the poster above, I'm from Boston, lol

 

[Acorn]

I'm scottish but reeseas since that's what american tv shows say.

The actual name i pronounce RE-ES

 

[catbird]

My mind is a little blown because I never realized I was pronouncing this word in an odd way. No one has ever mentioned it to me. And it's not like I pronounce other possessive nouns that way. Lol.

 

[Makai]

Recess

oh snap

 

[riotous]

WTF?

It's not pronounced reseas lol

 

[Angry Grimace]

Reesus. Just like "diabeetus." Coincidentally related.

 

[Stormhammer]

i mean, the commercials for reese's literally pronounce it reese-is. why would you say reeseas. the worst is when people say reeseas piecees. no, stop get away from me 4ever

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Reese is a name, Reese's is possessive form, if you ever knew anyone with that name you should know how to pronounce it.

 

[Derwind]

Holy shit there are other ways to say it? I always pronounced it as "reese-is".

 

[Link]

Holy shit there are other ways to say it? I always pronounced it as "reese-is".

No.

 

[MIMIC]

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

God dammit I want some of these now.

I say "Reese is", btw. Like Reese from Malcolm in the Middle. "Reese's brother, Malcolm."

[MattKeil]

No, there is no other way to say it. Have the "reeseas" people never seen a commercial? This is not up for debate.

 

[Vital Tundra]

I totally understand it's a possessive of a guys name or whatever, but did you never hear the cereal commercials? Why would the company say it wrong themselves?

 

[nded]

Reeseas? What?

lol damn you beat me to it!

 

[NecroWalrus]

I will say either, though typically Reeseas.

I always say 'Reeseas Peesees' though.

 

[Phobophile]

That one doesn't bother me as much, as most of the country is not as exposed to Spanish/Mexican pronunciation as other parts.

Remember that when you go to Tack-uh Bell and get a burr-eye-toh with a soft torr-till-uh.

Mmm Olive Garden. That's some good Eye-talian!

 

[EYEL1NER]

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

That's about where I stand on the subject as well.

Wasn't it supposed to rhyme with pieces?

Well how is "Pieces" supposed to be pronounced? Maybe it is supposed to rhyme with "Ree-Seas."

Spoiler

I've totally heard people call them "Ree-Seas Pee-seas" and it drives me up the wall every time.

Remember that when you go to Tack-uh Bell and get a burr-eye-toh with a soft torr-till-uh.

Can you pick me up a quesa-dill-uh while you are at it?

Spoiler

My wife pronounces them like "quesa-deal-lia."

 

[MGrant]

That's an apostrophe-S. Reese-apostrophe-S, on the end of that name. That means the candy bar is his, I didn't know that! Next time you're eating a Reese's candy bar and a guy name Reese comes by and says "Let me have that," you'd better hand it over.

"I'm sorry, Reese, I didn't think I'd ever run into you! You're a fuckin' bully, man! Let me at least have a piece!"

[Oreoleo]

I know it's Reesis but

How can you not just adore saying Reesees Peecees (Or the singular Reecee Peece)?? It rolls off the tongue in the most majestic way.

This thread is giving me a giggle fit.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

God damn Im going to get some now.

Its rees iss.

 

[JackBauer24]

Reese's, pronounced Reesees.

🤒

No they don't.
