Lucky for you, you’re not Reddit user alexbchillin. He was ready to dive into a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, when he found one that had no peanut butter in it. -

According to an interview with Insider, he was at work, munching on a bag of room temperature Reese’s when he noticed that something wasn’t quite right. The cup should have been squishy, but instead was solid. Breaking it open, he found a discrepancy in his candy – no PB filling. -

He then tossed it up on the r/mildlyinteresting subreddit with the caption “My Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup had no Peanut Butter.” Figuring it’d be something that would make the laid-back people of “mildlyinteresting” go hmm, he moved on. Instead people rallied behind him in support. People were passionate about their PB cups! -

While most had colourful things to say, one person suggested he write the manufacturer. So Alex did. -

In total, he found 6 PB-less cups in that bag. He posted on Reese’s Facebook page, asking “what gives?” He had no intention of getting anything in return, just was curious. He wrote on under his original post: “I’ve had people message me already asking for them, but I’m not looking for money for this. I legit just thought this was funny when I got it and posted to Reese’s FB page more as a joke than anything. This whole thing BLEW UP.” -

While a lot of people were in his corner, some called shenanigans on his claim. To demonstrate his crime against chocolate & peanut butter heaven, he posted a video to his Reddit profile. -

A few days later, he updated his post again with the caption: “Reese’s has reached out and is sending me coupons. Thanks to everyone for your concerns and well-wishes through this trying time.” Then, this arrived. Dozens, upon dozens of boxes of free candy, along with a free note from the gang at Reese’s. If you can’t read it, it says: “Sometimes, we like to remind people that you need both chocolate AND peanut butter, together, to have the perfect candy. This was one of those times. And you were the unlucky person. Now that we’ve made our point, here’s enough chocolate AND peanut butter to make everything cool between us. – Reese’s”
