The inclusion of the full name and capitalizing the Peanut Butter Cups is telling me this is an ad. So is the unnecessary inclusion of the photo.
I feel like a person making a joke would have just said peanut butter cups, or reeses cups, or maybe just reeses.
A non-marketing individual would have been more likely to find a photo of someone with chocolate on their face, rather than a glamour shot of a twix.
And only speculation, but the person in the profile pic doesn't look like the type to make this age-group of joke.
All of that aside, the basis of the conversation is it's own issue, it implies that both parents have gone through their kids candy for their own reasons, and one found the results interesting enough to bring it up later. Not that this is an actual scenario that happened.
Thank my TED.
It's an ad for two different companies?
That's not how you spell Reese's, you silly goose.
If it really were marketing copy, they'd spell it right.
Or not, for eNgAGeMeNt
I'm not sure if I agree. They're pretty shady with all this stuff. My brother's general counsel at some major candy maker, and for some reason his role at one point included content approvals, and they're just sneaky. Now I'm interested in confirming if that's one of their tricks.
Improper trademarking is a pretty big no-no.
