The Peak of Modern Civilization is upon us. [More:]The Limited Edition Elvis Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have hit the street. My corner store has them. I bought a bunch, we have tasted them and they are really good, obvious pop culture artifact value aside. Thank ya, Reese's, thank ya very much...

(seems this prophecy has come true. Hallelujah!)
Must. have. willpower. Yesterday I successfully fended off a monumental craving for Whoppers.

I'm skeptical of the banana flavor. Is it truly banana-ish or a dubious facsimile?
posted by chewatadistance 05 July | 20:24
It definitely has authentic (not to say 'natural') banana taste.

I have never been able to bring myself to like reese's. Chocolate and peanut butter? No. I like them immensely, but separately. Actually, choco+banana is okay. choco+pb, okay too. All 3, not so much.

You're from Europe, carmina, so you're forgiven. All true Americans should try this product.

They're truly yummy... very sweet, but yummy.

Yes, yes. Very European. My sentences contradict each other. I am like that. I doubt it's European. But it's me, alrighty.

Apropos of, well, very little, I'll say this about Reese's cups:

I've always loved them to the point that I could probably eat my weight in them. LOVE them.

Last night, when we had brought our dogs inside the porch to get them away from the apparently terrifying bottle rockets and firecrackers, they got a little antsy after the first two hours of being confined. Ever the dog-whisperer, I broke out the Kongs that we'd bought when our wolfhound was confined inside for two months after destroying her knee on July 4th, 2005.

Lo and behold, we even had a can of that "Kong filling" left! It's like whipped cream you squirt inside the Kong so they can lick and chew the flavorful stuff out. I filled 'em up (and depleted the can), and when I threw the can away, I realized a little BB-sized fleck of Kong filling had landed on my hand.

I thought, "Well, it IS food grade," and gave a little taste.

It was like eating an entire peanut-flavored pat of butter. My mouth was coated in fat that tasted exactly like the inside of a Reese's cup. At first I thought, "Nice taste," then I realized, "My mouth is dripping with concentrated grease."

I've decided that Kong filling is meant to appeal to someone who would happily gnaw on a dead squirrel, fur and all, while giving them a little whiff of the exotic, like Reese's peanut butter or imitation chicken broth.

Thanks for the reminder... I gotta go brush my teeth again.

Big-time Reese's fan here. Enthusiastically tried the Elvis things. Thought they were meh bordering on kinda gross.
