How do you say the pieces part in Reese's Pieces?

Weljadraak · June 2014

Hold the phone! Do pieces and Reeses not rhyme?

Weljadraak · June 2014

omg wait. I totally get it.

PinkDahLia44 · June 2014

Okay, so DH says "ree-sees pee-sees" and I say "ree-suhs pee-suhs". Either way it rhymes, but they are very different pronunciations.

Weljadraak · June 2014

ok so peesees or pieces is the question. I've used both but I always rhyme them. So I'll say Reese's Pieces or Reesies Peesies

Right? It's all in how you say it my friend... But technically I don't think they do. How do i explain this over the internet? LOL

This is what I was going to ask! I always thought theyu rhymed when pronounced correctly.

me too! all of this.

carawasa · June 2014

I would pronounce piece like peace... And emphasize the PEE in pieces when next to reese

sleepy33 · June 2014

Wut. There is only one correct pronunciation. Reese-is Piece-is. They are the pieces of Reese. It is possessive. They are Reese's pieces.

Oh i see what your saying.. I always pronounce Reese's the same way your DH does. Emphasizing the long e sound

jennlin · June 2014

Weljadraak · June 2014

FTR Reeses technically only rhymes with pieces.

see...I don't say it like that! It would rhyme if I did!

nepatsgal · June 2014

SS- I say both on occasion, but if I had to pick I guess it would be Ree-suhs Pee-suhs.

no! It all depends on how you say Reese's. I mean I guess it rhymes but I'm really just curious about how you follow Reese's.. Never thought people say it differently!

bkeane619 · June 2014

In va they said reesey peesys

sleepy33 · June 2014

Who is this Reese, anyway? Is what I want to know.

And why is everyone eating his pieces?

bkeane619 · June 2014

Also they called Reese's peanut butter cups, reesey cups. I found these pronunciations so weird!

This!!

PinkDahLia44 · June 2014

@carawasa, where are you from? Is this a regional thing? DH is from S. Jersey and says a lot of things differently from me, even though I grew up only 3 hrs away from him in Pa.

PinkDahLia44 · June 2014

Also, lol, I can't wait to tell him this was a debate on TB, because it has been almost a decade-long debate between us.

carawasa · June 2014

@PinkDahLia44‌ I'm from ri and I have a very strong ri accent!

PinkDahLia44 · June 2014

@carawasa‌ , hmmm, I don't know. I could maybe poll my Ct relatives...

LOL ok now I get it... I didn't realize Reese was a person for some reason

Weljadraak · June 2014

If you don't like Reese's peanut butter then you have no soul.
