Epic Win: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Commercial
Submitted by M Block
The famous ad campaign from the ’70s and ’80s that launched the candy, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups boasted “two great tastes that taste great together.” Surprisingly clever, eh? Makes you wonder if that’s how they thought to combine ham and pineapple on a Hawaiian pizza. OK, maybe it doesn’t.

Had to be at least 1975.
Yes, I’m that old.
So, the one guy was just walking down the street, eating peanut butter straight from the jar?
I have seen a lot of fat people eat peanut butter straight from the jar. They wonder why they keep gaining weight.

Donny Most and Robbie Benson!!!
I remember the one with the guy and the robot on the spaceship: “My chocolate…” “*is*in*my*peanut*butter”.
YAY! Donny Most!!! I loved these commercials!
Oh. I thought it was going to be “there’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s.” I loved those commercials (I was a 90s child.) With the detective? spy? (I can’t remember) and the dominoes and the….oh, never mind.
It may have been an epic ad, but it hardly “launched” Reese’s PB Cups — they’ve been on the market since 1928 and were best sellers when I was a kid back in the ’40s.
I remember these ones too with ppl just walking along eating peanut “buttah” from the jar! Too funny…
I can still sing the reese’s commercial sung with opera… I saw it when I was 6 years old and still remember it 29 years later. Quite effective advertising.
I likes the “There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” commercial with Count Dracula.
“I like to eat the peanut butter first!”
Am I the only person who thought of how Family Guy totally took that and made it different? It made me laugh.
Oh if only *I* could have been the girl that caused the “creation” of Reeces ….
I think Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups must be a peculiarly American thing. Blergh! Yuk yuk yuk.
omg!!! the guy eating the peanut butter from the jar was in a movie called “jeremy” in the 70’s he played jeremy (derr) and it was a sad, sad, movie in the end.
donny most, donny most, he was ralph on happy days…
It’s Robby Bensen and Ralph Malph!!!!
When I saw the commercial about a genius little brother poking a hole into the peanut butter cup, I tried it many times, and failed.
