“This tastes better than Chef's chocolate salted balls”

~ Oscar Wilde on Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were invented by H. B. Reese and Reese Witherspoon via a freak coincindence. Witherspoon was walking down some stairs, eating a chocolate bar, as Reese was eating some peanut butter directly from the jar. The chocolate slipped out of Mrs. Reese's hand, and luckily landed directly in the peanut butter jar.

This led Reese to utter the immortal line, "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" Witherspoon wittily retorted, "You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!" Reese decided, rather than dispose of the fouled peanut butter, to try a bit of the combined confections. The result was so delightful, Reese knew he had hit upon a sure money-maker.

[edit] Early marketing attempts

Unfortunately, the going was not easy. Readers of this article will probably not remember Reese's® Chocolate Bar Smothered With Peanut Butter. The main problem with this product was that the peanut butter tended to stick to the wrapper, the customer's fingers, hair, clothes, the roof of the mouth, and generally make a huge mess all over the place.

The dismal failure of the Reese's® Chocolate Bar Smothered With Peanut Butter did not daunt Reese. His next attempt at selling the chocolate–peanut-butter combination was Reese's® Jar of Peanut Butter With Bits of Chocolate Bar Inside. This, unfortunately, also did not fare too well, as most people are not used to eating peanut butter directly from the jar. People quickly discovered that Peanut-Butter-with-Bits-of-Chocolate-Bar toast was not, in fact, very tasty. Kids who were sent to school with Peanut-Butter-with-Bits-of-Chocolate and Jelly sandwiches would not eat them, and could not trade them.

Finally, Reese grew despondent. He knew he was on to something grand, but could not make it sell. It took the genius of confectioner extraodinaire Milton S. Hershey to shape the peanut-butter–chocolate combination into the form we know and love today. Unfortunately for Reese, Hershey had bought the rights to his "invention" and trademark for a paltry 8 dollars.
