It is really sweet, (pardon the pun) that Hershey and Reese were so supportive of one another despite being competitors.

the love between Hersheys and Reeses is heartwarming

Eating a fresh Reese’s cup is the most satisfying thing on earth. Like fresh as in right from the Reese’s factory. What a time to be alive

wow the story of Hershey and Reese's is like night and day of the story of the McDonald's brothers and Ray Crock when can we get a movie about these two guys?

I love how this series is supposed to be about food but they're still using video game music in the background

the chunbiyo reference (I think that’s how it’s spelled) was probably the most epic thing I’ve seen in the last thirty seconds.

So I was skeptical of this channel at first but you got my favorite candy and my favorite youtuber in the same video. Now I'm sold.

Well now I want some peanut butter cups!

Thank you for pronouncing "Resse's" right. In New Jersey at least, people pronounce it "Ree-seez" and Reese's Pieces "Ree-seez Pee-seez" and it really bothers me
