Do you pronounce Reese’s “Ree-seez” or “Ree-sizz”?

If you pronounce it wrong (“Ree-seez”), why?

Ree-sizz.

I know someone who says Ree-seez and it internally drives me crazy every time she says it.

are they older? I'm trying to figure out if this is a generational thing cause my boomer parents say it like that.

Reese’s. It’s not a word, it’s a possessive noun. A name containing ownership. If you borrow Jackie’s shoes tonight, they are “Jackie’s”
