Meet Andrew Athias, “The Reese's Guy.” It's his jawn: “Everyone has a favorite something, I just happen to be outwardly expressive about it, as a Philadelphian would. When we like something we're going to tell you about it whether you want to hear it or not.”

One person would exclaim, "You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!" and the other would exclaim, "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" They would then sample the mixture and remark on the great taste, tying in with the slogan "Two great tastes that taste great together."

We doubled down on this new attitude, partnering with Will Arnett as our voice of the brand. An unapologetic, persuasive, devil-on-your-shoulder not-so-subtly pushing you to stop doing whatever you're doing and go get a Reese's. And to make it even harder to resist, we used real products across all our communications.

The ingenious flavor combination in each of these treats can be traced back to 1928, when H.B. Reese, an employee of The Hershey Company, created REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups in his basement.

Reese's may not be the world's top-selling candy, but it is the king of American candy. Reese's was founded by former Hershey employee H. B. Reese in 1923. Since 1928, people everywhere have been enjoying Reese's peanut butter and chocolate creation known as the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

According to the Hershey's Community Archives, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups get their name from their founder, Harry Burnett Reese. H.B. Reese started out in the candy business by managing dairy production for Milton S. Hershey.

The original name of the candy bar was TAKE5 but common usage among consumers added a space. In June 2019, when the candy bar became part of the Reese's family, the name was officially changed to Reese's Take 5. A sweet and salty candy bar with pretzels, peanut butter, peanuts, and caramel coated in milk chocolate.

Reese's are 89 years old. Reese began making candies in his home, and by 1923 he created the H. B. Reese Candy Company. In 1928, Reese invented Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which were coated in Hershey chocolate," Riess told POPSUGAR.
