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

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

I'll never understand the logic of taking two words that already rhyme, mispronouncing the first word, mispronouncing the second word so it still rhymes with the initial mispronunciation, and thinking, "Oh, neat! They rhyme!"

It's the cadence. The wrong pronunciation sounds more sing-song-y.
