Chocolate

For the last time, Reese's Pieces is not pronounced Reesy's Peeseys. His name was Reese, and they were his pieces. You don't ask for two peeseys of paper, do you?

I say Reesey's like that often because I'm not capable of saying it the other way... Of course I have a residual speech impediment, so you can't hold that against me...

I'm not talking about people with residual (or current) speech impediments. It's like the Family Guy thing with "whip" and "Cool Whip." You don't change the pronunciation of a word simply because it's placed next to another word. That's not how the English language works.
