I know they've been around for quite a while now, but I believe I have yet to comment on them: Reese's "Inside Out" Peanut Butter Cups are an abomination.Anyone who has ever had those "mini cups" Reese's has out around the candy holidays (Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day) knows that they don't taste the same as a regular Reese's cup. The reason is simple: there is a perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate that tastes right. That is the genius of the Reese's. Mess up the ratio, and you've messed up the candy. Irredeemably.
Which is why the Inside Out Reese's is just a crime against candy. They've taken the perfect ratio, and they've inverted it! Not to mention that they've changed the actual ingredients involved. The strange, magical, sort-of-chunky, sort-of-creamy peanut butter that lives at the golden core of each regular Reese's cup could never serve as the "outer shell," so they've substituted some sort of peanut-butter-fudge-like concoction for the skin. Meanwhile, some unholy form of frothy brown stuff that only wishes it were chocolate dwells in the black heart of this impostor.
They've whored out and cheapened the glory of Reese's by associating it with this foul beast trading on the name.

A lot of research goes into making things like RPBC's and Kit Kats and Twix's, ensuring they have the proper ratios of this to that. Then they make a giant Kit Kat or a mini Twix and it's all screwed up like those Mega M&M's that tasted like crap. Agreed, don't mess with perfection.
If I wanted a different kind of Nestle's Crunch, I'd eat a Krackel.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Abominations.
Yeah, I'm lookin at you too, White Chocolate and Almond M&M's... :P
I don't think I was aware these existed... it's like a horror movie where the Reese's guts are on the outside! ahhh get it away!! we need an old priest and a young priest! banish the evil candy!
the mole
There is a proper ratio of every food to every other food normally eaten with it.
Anything else is madness. Ask anyone who's eaten at the same table with me.
