Mashed Potato Melancholy



We wouldn't have to do stuff like this if Reese's would just make it. They should make Thanksgivings Reese's cups with pie crust on the outside and turkey paste on the inside or maybe stuffing. Why don't people get on this?

I remember from my youth how, to get maximum peanut buttery goodness, I would eat the Reese's Cups wrappers. Those were good times.

Oh my god. That was hysterical. Oh Christ, i'm still laughing. Anyhow, they should make Reese's Thanksgiving cups. Hell, I'd buy them. They'd look exactly like regular Reeses and then you could unwrap them all, put them in a candy dish, and have people take them and gag. Good times.

Moral of the story: If you ever do this, make sure you have a few real Reeses left over, just in case.

How awesome would it be if the guy who commented above named his child "Saur"?

Mashed potatoes reeses!? That sounds good! I'm not kidding about that, but then again, i'm the kind of sick wierdo who dips his bacon in mayonaise, eats salt and drinks ranch dressing. (Sadly, i'm not kidding about any of those things either.)

I think I accidentally deleted a comment. I did not think that was actually possible, but I did.

In reference to Josh's post above:

It would be very very sad for the kid. Because, although his name would appear as "Dino, Saur" in an alphabetical-by-last-name list, his name as normally pronounced, would be Saur Dino.

Sardino.
Sardine-oh.

that can't be good for a kid's mental health.

They already have something like that..called "pierogies"----pasta/dumpling type covering with mashed potato on the inside. yum yum yum!! you can probably even make 'em with the stuffing. and if you shape 'em different, they could end up looking like a resses. just don't cover 'em in chocolate. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

"Pierogies" is not a word, as "pierogie" is the plural form. The singular form is "pierog". And yes, they are delicious.

I'm betting that the taped-on "Cups" (with backwards "s") addition to the sign, which seems to be covering up another word beginning with C, is in fact covering up the word "Cups" with a normal s.

Dear Josh (and to a lesser degree anonymous):

Hilarious! Would you believe me if I told you that I have never ever heard that one before, ever? Wow! Creative!
True story now - Once upon a time in middle school, a kid came up to me and said, "Hey Chris, I bet if you looked in a fossil book, you'd see a picture of your great-grandfather, because you're a dinosaur."
To which I replied, "Dave, first off, it's pronounced 'dee-no,' and second, even if it were 'die-no,' I think that my great-grandfather would be a little young to be in a fossil book."
He came back with, "Then your great-great-grandfather!"
I loved middle school so much.

Sir, I contend that this "bigfoot" is nothing more than a common, run-of-the-mill WOOKIEE.

There's no need to get in a huff, Mr. Rowland. Other companies are already offering disgusting combinations of delicious junk food and traditional holiday fare. Your hopes for an apocalyptic future of mashed potato Reese's can't be far off.
