Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Because it's Peanut Butter and Chocolate Day -
Harry Burnett Reese is created with inventing the iconic Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in 1928 using Hershey Chocolate.
Even before Reese's, some advertisements in the 1920s featured recipes that combined peanut butter and chocolate, highlighting the emerging popularity of this flavor duo.
Peanut Butter wasn't rationed during World War II, adding to it's popularity.
Reese’s accounts for about 47% of Hershey’s annual sales, making it one of the most valuable products in Hershey’s entire lineup. Its steady popularity has helped keep Hershey’s on top in the candy industry.
