Usually I'll pick up the reeses big cups, I love a higher peanut butter to chocolate ratio and these things are....well.... big.
The Christmas Trees or Easter Eggs are the best.
I'll agree with you on that. But the big cups are all year round!

But cost like $1.39 for one....

Big Kat .... Basically a regular Kit Kat but quadrupole the size.

That.  It's like one segment of a Kit Kat blown up to the size of a baby's forearm.  The chocolate is much thicker on it, which makes the chocolate-to-wafer ratio perfect.

I had one once, and it was awesome. But I couldn't figure out if the ratio was slightly different, improving it a bit, or it was just amazing because it was huge and I could take huge bites at a time.

Same with the Reese's eggs. Is the ratio different, or it is just amazing because you can chomp down mass quantities at a time?

Americans only get two Reese's cups per package?  What the fuck is this shit?

Reese's is the best chocolate.

I've seen 3-packs, usually as a special promotion for the same price as a 2-pack.

I think when I was a cub scout we would see candy to raise money. I think we had 3 packs of resees, and kit kats that were 6 pieces.

I can't eat Butterfinger, for a reason that might sound silly to some.

My grandmother's favorite candybar was Butterfinger, and the only time I can remember eating them is when she bought one for her and one for me. As she got older, it got harder for her to eat them, so one time I bought her the Butterfinger Crisp. She could sort of let it dissolve in her mouth and still enjoy it. It meant a lot to me to see her enjoy something she thought she could no longer enjoy.

After she passed, I bought a Butterfinger. I couldn't bring myself to finish it because I felt it was a "Grandma and me" thing I was doing without her. My eyes are about to tear up as I write this... But yeah. I haven't eaten a Butterfinger since she died.
Listen! Do you smell something?

That's... kinda sad.  :(  Maybe you can turn it around.  Enjoy one in her memory, instead of being sad that you can't enjoy them together anymore.

There's these Chinese candies called Haw Flakes that my grandfather used to get for me every time we went to visit him in Toronto. I love them, and I still think of my grandfather every time I eat them.

I used to be a butterfingers guy, but I think I'm undergoing a paradigm shift...right now it's about equal for me, leaning toward Reeses.  But they both have their strong points (and weak points). 

Butterfingers are more filling, have better texture, plus they take longer to eat if you're a candy pig like me.  On the downside, they are really messy and stick in your teeth.

Reeses are more flavorful and delicate.  They are much richer than Butterfingers.  Unfortunately, you only get two per pack (four if king size) and they get downed in two bites apiece.

...I can't decide! >_<

Reese's fast break.  Problem solved.
I don’t know what to put here anymore

Fast Break is no better when it comes to the complaints about Reese's. The problem is that since Butterfinger is crunchy, it takes longer to eat. Anything Reese's makes can be downed in like 20 seconds.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

Im almost certain Reeses makes something with nuts and crunch in it.

Reeses are in 3-packs in the Great White North. Must be painful to be confined to a two-pack.

We have a 2 pack and a 4 pack. I could have sworn at one time there were 3 packs....

In Canada, we have packs of 2, 3 or 4. Oddly enough, if you go to a dollar store, you can normally find the 3 and 4 packs for the same price  :-\

Yeah but our regular is 3. Whatever, it's a futile argument anyway, I could just buy 2 packs of 2 in the states for the same price we pay for 1 pack of 3 up here.   :yeahright
