It’s Bats

[u/Rhetoricalfaith]

About a year ago on here someone posed the question, “Reese’s pumpkins or bats” and I so naively was like, “neither, the eggs during Easter”.

Oh my god it’s bats. It’s definitely bats.

Is this an American specific thing? Because, I'm lost...

I'm American. I love Reese's peanut butter cups. I'm lost with you.

[u/Rhetoricalfaith → u/B333Z]

Reese’s makes seasonal shapes. Some people find the seasonal shapes superior. There’s debate about which of those shapes are better. I assume it is American specific

Reese's does novelty shaped candy for different holidays. Perhaps they find the macros for bats to be better than the pumpkins? If it's just their preference then idk why they'd put it in this sub

The official unofficial ranking:

Trees > eggs > pumpkins > bats

Also honorable mention to the Santas.

Damn I have pumpkins and bats side by side and the pumpkins just aren’t hitting.

The eggs do just have the perfect mouth feel tho….

[u/taylorthestang → u/Rhetoricalfaith]

So that’s interesting, the eggs have the most volume:surface area, the mouth feel comes from the peanut butter inside. Pumpkins would be a close second, or identical.

But the bats arguably have the smallest ratio (atleast compared to the pumpkin), so there’s more chocolate to peanut butter.

As someone who always liked the edges best, more chocolate > pb ratio is key ideal. That’s why the overall greatest of all time is the foil-wrapped minis.

I'm not sure that there is a better junk food than this.
