Subject: How Much Is A Reese's Pieces Worth
Written By: lebeiw15 on 09/11/02 at 09:10 p.m.
I bought a bag of Reese's Pieces tonight, the small bag, for 60 cents. I thought I would count how many were in the bag and divide by the price to see how much one piece of the candy was worth. Well, it turns out, there were 60 pieces in the bag. So each piece of candy was worth one cent. If you think about it, is it really worth spending a penny for one Reese's? I just think of how, I save my pennies and coins in a jar, and what if I bought a Reese's pieces for a penny every time instead of saving it? Am I lame and just have too much time on my hands to be thinking about stuff like this? ::)

True. A lot of work went into that wrapper. No doubt an entire board room filled with marketing executives sat, holed up for weeks surrounded by empty chicken fried rice cartons and pie-charts deciding on the design, layout and colors of what could potentially be THE cornerstone of movie candy tie-ins. When they emerged, reeking of Brut deodorant, what they had on their hands was nothing short of confectionary packaging genius. The stuff of artificial peanut-butter filling legend, my friend. All that included with your 60 cent price of admission.
