We are writing to you today responding to your latest inquire, "RE: Reese's Ball Proposal." While we do feel there is great potential in this shape, we have several questions that immediately spring to mind, and could use your expertise of snacks and snack-shaped items to help our own fine candy minds as they consider the implications of the "Reese's Ball."
To wit, our primary concern regards the ease, or rather, lack thereof, that consuming a mandarin-orange-sized ball of chocolate covered peanut putter presents. While the image of many children (and, we must say, adults) holding a large orb of Reese's delectable flavors in their palms sounds appealing, our engineers are concerned about the cleanliness of the hands and faces of those attempting to eat such a concoction. Would it be wrapped in foil, or in a plastic sleeve?
Regardless of its container, the heat of the consumer's hands would be enough to promptly begin melting the exterior surface of the chocolate, leading to smears of said confection to be left wherever that consumer finds itself in the immediate aftermath. We fear this will hurt this products success with the coveted "Mom" demographic (which as you well know includes parents and non-parents of all genders who hold "Mom" roles in any household), a critical part of any confections launch success.
Until we get the logistics of eating and wrapping such a fine concoction smoothed out, I am afraid that "Reese's Ball" must remain a figment of our dreams, to be undertaken by chocolatiers with more bravery and courage than we can find just now.
We are so grateful for your continued support of our chocolates and your contribution to the future of chocolate covered peanut butter confections.
My wife and I have had this very conversation approximately 1,000 times. While we disagree with the size you propose (I'd suggest closer to small ping pong ball size, in order to be able to be popped entirely in your mouth at once), the Reese's ball needs to happen.
I’d love to contribute to this, but as my wife says, if you missed all the other clues that I’m an immigrant, just look at my face when you give me something containing peanut butter.
I regret to inform you that the Large Reese's Egg exists - almost the size and shape of a mini Nerf football - and it is disappointing in that there is too MUCH peanut butter and not ENOUGH chocolate.
I know, I know, I didn't think this would be possible. Nobody could have been more excited than I was to get it in my Easter basket last year. But alas.
First things first - you are correct that eggs are the pinnacle of the current offerings.
But I guess I lived in the south longer than I've fully processed, because I saw this subject line in my inbox and my brain immediately went "wait, like a Reese's Mardi Gras Ball?"

"I would like to see the Reese's Ball."
Reese's Klein Bottle, you cowards.
I was on board until you mentioned the size...its just too damn big.
As an engineer, the lack of proof of concept for an idea indicates lack of belief in the idea.
As a relatively new subscriber, I have to ask with all due respect of course:
1. Are crazy ideas the norm?
2. Is Olaf actually ACB’s spirit animal?
3. Has ACB influenced Olaf or Vice verse?
4. Why would you want to eat a football, leather isn’t that tasty?
Well now I have to make a Giant Buckeye
No you are not a crackpot. Just a talented man with too much time on his hands.

Why not make the whole plane out of the Reese's Cup?

my "I am not a crackpot" t-shirt is raising a lot of questions answered by my shirt.
"I hold the whole Reese’s team—all the way from the chocolate factory floor up to Ms. Witherspoon herself—in the highest esteem." D-E-D.
You can buy jars of Reese's peanut butter. Can you not make the orb yourself, or are you scared Mr. Cookbook?
