<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Since I\u2019ve lived pretty much my entire life in the metro-Atlanta area, I suppose I\u2019m one of the more qualified people out there to judge the authenticity of Reese\u2019s newfangled, Georgia-themed P.B. cup. Well, nice try, Hershey, but this thing is about as genuinely Georgian as a nasally accent, adequate public transportation, and unsweetened<\/em> tea.<\/p>\n OK, I get<\/em> that the two big Georgia food stereotypes are peaches and peanuts. But if you\u2019re going to take the lazy, uninspired route, at least make sure it\u2019s the RIGHT kind of stereotypical foodstuff. In all my 30-something years in Georgia, not ONCE have I ever seen anyone at a roadside stand hawking honey-roasted peanuts<\/em>.<\/p>\n In fact, the ONLY type of peanuts people in these parts seem to eat are the boiled variety – and to be frank, I think I actually would\u2019ve enjoyed that more<\/em> than this half-hearted \u201cFlavors of America\u201d offering. <\/p>\n This may very well be the least special<\/em> \u201cspecial edition\u201d gimmick food of all-time. Not only is the advertised \u201choney roasted\u201d flavor faint, it\u2019s practically non-existent. Yes, there is some oily stuff in and around the cups, and the interior peanut butter at least looks<\/em> a little slicker than your normal cup, but in terms of taste, this thing is virtually indistinguishable from your regular old Reese\u2019s. I wound up buying two packages, just to see if the first one I ate was defective. Well, four special edition cups later and it’s distressingly apparent; this L-T-O product is basically the same thing<\/em> as the standard product!<\/p>\n You know the product formula is fouled up when consumers have to literally FOCUS on what they\u2019re eating to pinpoint the flavor. It doesn\u2019t matter how slow you chew them or how hard you try to let the flavor seep into your tastebuds; simply put, the \u201choney-roasted\u201d flavor just isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a big fan of Reese\u2019s, but this product is a colossal disappointment. Granted, it still tastes pretty good, but the whole point<\/em> of L-T-O products is to give consumers something different – if not in terms of flavor, at least in terms of aesthetics.<\/p>\n If Reese\u2019s can release pumpkin-shaped cups for Halloween, they easily could\u2019ve made regular-flavored cups shaped like famous Georgia iconography like, I don\u2019t know, the silhouette of a Waffle House or a zombie from The Walking Dead<\/em> or the Falcons logo (which, for bonus realism, could fall apart when you only have a quarter left to eat.)<\/p>\n From Coca-Cola-soaked pecan pie to Gladys Knight\u2019s chicken and waffles (no, that\u2019s a real thing, I promise you), my home state offered plenty of interesting, novelty food options for Reese\u2019s to consider. And with all that potential on the table, how disappointing that they ultimately decided to aim this<\/em> low with their final effort.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 220 calories, 110 calories from fat, 13 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 24 grams of total carbohydrates, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 22 grams of sugar and 5 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $1.49 Since I\u2019ve lived pretty much my entire life in the metro-Atlanta area, I suppose I\u2019m one of the more qualified people out there to judge the authenticity of Reese\u2019s newfangled, Georgia-themed P.B. cup.

\nRating:<\/b> 3 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Overall, the product does taste pretty good. And at least the packaging is pretty.
\nCons:<\/b> It tastes just like a regular Reese\u2019s cup. The \u201choney-roasted\u201d flavor is so slight, I\u2019m not entirely sure it exists. Realizing we could\u2019ve had a Chick-Fil-A Icedream Cone flavored Hershey Bar or a Peach Cobbler Mr. Goodbar instead of this seasonal snoozer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
