Have you once in your life seen the name Reese and pronounced the silent “E” at the end? Have you ever met a person named Reesee?
I’ll do you one better…People that say REESEES PEESEES. When the fuck have you ever said peesees when you read the word pieces.
If you do this, you are beyond stupid.
I could have sworn that they pronounced it “Reesees” in the commercials, so I went to double check and I was wrong. All official commercials that I’ve found they pronounce it “Reese’s”. This has me wondering where I heard the “Reesees” pronunciation. It must be some social thing, a dialect or accent around where I’ve grown up, or even just linguistic drift. Etymology is weird like that.
Maybe that’s how Nelson Mandela says it.
Maybe it’s from E.T.? Been years since I’ve seen it so I don’t remember how they say it, though Reese’s Pieces play a large role in the plot
