Bigger isn’t always better. Unless it’s a bigger Reese’s cup!
Reese’s just released a new product. It’s something that doesn’t really reinvent the wheel but it’s something that we all want. Reese’s has unveiled the massive 2.8oz Jumbo Cup!
Reese’s knows exactly what we want and they never fail to deliver. They know that we can’t get enough of their signature mix of peanut butter and chocolate. This isn’t the first time that they released a product that’s essentially just a bigger version of their original peanut butter cups. Before the Jumbo Cup, Reese’s had the Big Cup which, for reference, only weighs a measly 1.4oz. If they keep this up, we’d have massive Reese’s peanut butter cups in no time. Not that we’re complaining though.
At the moment, this new product was only spotted at Walgreens. It remains to be seen if this would receive a wide release or if this is just Reese’s testing the market. Here’s hoping the Jumbo Cup could get the bigger release it deserves. Stay tuned for more information!
Tracing Reese’s Peanut Butter Journey
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups is an iconic treat that has surprisingly been around for more than 90 years! It all started with Harry Burnett Reese, a former dairy farmer who wanted to create delicious, easy to eat candy with a wide market appeal. He started making his way into the candy and chocolate industry in the 1920s. It wasn’t until 1928 when he came up with what would become one of the most popular candies in the world! On November 15, 1928, Reese’s created the first ever Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup which encased a peanut butter filling with rich, creamy chocolate. Eventually, they were sold to the public and became an instant hit.
Fast forward to 1963 when H.B. Reese merged the Reese Candy Company with the Hershey Chocolate Corporation. Reese’s innovative products coupled with Hershey’s market reach propelled both of them to new heights. Today, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a household name. They continue to introduce a wide variety of products that always fall under the memorable combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

Reese’s in the Spotlight
Reese’s has consistently grabbed headlines with their innovative products and exciting announcements. In 2021, the brand introduced Reese’s Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cups, which replaced the traditional chocolate shell with peanut butter. This unique twist was a hit among fans and generated significant buzz on social media platforms.
In 2022, Reese’s took another bold step by launching a plant-based version of their beloved cups. Recognizing the growing interest in vegan and plant-based diets, this move showed Reese’s commitment to catering to a wide range of consumers. The plant-based cups maintained the rich, creamy taste Reese’s is known for, but without any animal products.
A Chocolatey Dream Come True
The introduction of the 2.8oz Jumbo Cup is more than just a product launch; it’s a testament to Reese’s understanding of their loyal fan base and their cravings. This new size doubles the pleasure of enjoying the classic Reese’s combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Available initially at Walgreens, the Jumbo Cup ensures that fans can indulge in an even more satisfying treat.
One reason for the massive excitement surrounding this release is the sheer novelty of it. Unlike other variations, this is the first time Reese’s has introduced a product that significantly increases the size without altering the original flavor or adding new ingredients. It’s a dream come true for those who can’t get enough of that iconic Reese’s taste.
The initial reactions on social media reflect a mix of enthusiasm and curiosity. Fans from all walks of life have shared their excitement, tagging friends and family, and planning trips to Walgreens to grab the Jumbo Cup. This powerful interaction on digital platforms showcases the emotional connection and brand loyalty Reese’s has built over the years.
As fans await more information on additional locations and availability, it’s clear that Reese’s has struck gold once again. The anticipation and communal excitement seen in the reactions serve as a reminder of the power of a beloved brand consistently reinventing itself while staying true to its roots. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a new lover of Reese’s, the Jumbo Cup promises to deliver an indulgence like never before.
From The Club
Reese’s is one of my all time favorites when it comes to candies and chocolate in general. Their unique mix of flavors is so simple yet so iconic. There’s really nothing quite like it. The only thing wrong with Reese’s is that I don’t have more of it. And it looks that problem is about to go away thanks to the new Jumbo Cup!
