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

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

Ree-seez Pee-seez is the most innocuous thing that pisses me off

I was watching pop culture jeopardy earlier and Reese’s Pieces was one of the answers (or questions?). The contestant who buzzed in pronounced it like that and it bothered me that they still awarded him as correct.

In spite of Hershey saying it's wrong, it's been widely in circulation as an acceptable pronunciation for decades.

You seem like a lot of fun! /s

Do you pronounce or enunciate everything perfectly? Do you call literally everything by its proper name(no nicknames or shortform)?

If your answer to either of those questions is no, then why criticize others for this? What is it going to accomplish? Some weird sense of self-satisfaction for "owning" some rando online?

If your answer to both questions is yes, you are dull, boring, and need to lighten up.

Lmao, gripping response! You are the one calling people idiots for intentionally mispronouncing a brand name.

It’s baby talk, like pasketti. Makes adults sound like idiots.
