Forget Reese’s Packaging: The Real Crime is How Good They Are

Why sue Reese's for what is or isn't on the packaging? According to the New York Post, a Florida woman recently did.  She was upset that the Reese's pumpkin didn't have a face like it does on the package. But I think the real crime should be how good they are. What's in the packaging? Every time I eat some, I'm in heaven. But hold up... What if I'm getting played? What if this tasty treat is messing with my head? I'm thinking, maybe it's time to hit Reese's with a lawsuit for being way too delicious.

Think about it. Resisting the temptation is pointless. You pop one in your mouth, and suddenly, it's just you, and that chocolate-peanut butter magic. Flavor Perfection. It should be a crime. But real talk, should we be high-fiving Reese's for this, or should we be calling up some lawyers?

Yeah, they throw a little warning on the package,  "Caution: may lead to uncontrollable cravings"  but do they really get how deep this addiction rabbit hole goes? They made these treats with only 2  per package... Why? To leave you wanting more! It's a trap!

You might be like, "Bro, why sue something that brings pure joy?" Well, that's the thing. It's almost too good. It's like they're plotting against my self-control. How am I supposed to stick to a diet when these cups are basically shouting my name from the radio station vending machine? Budman! Oh, Budman!

Okay, all jokes aside. A lawsuit against Reese's for being too tasty is just as stupid as being mad that it doesn't have a face on it. Find someone else to sue. Leave poor Reese's alone. Just eat one. You won't be disappointed. Unless you're weird and you like your foods to look at you.

If you love chocolate, you will love this story. In advance of International Chocolate Day (9/13) we've found the best cities for chocolate lovers.

Yes, there is actual a company that did the grueling research to come up with the rankings. Lawn Love looked at 190 of the biggest cities across the United States for this report.

Chocolate is pretty amazing. It's good on its own, with cheese, fruit, even bacon. It's even made into savory sauces like mole. Health experts also say dark chocolate has compounds that are good for us.  We just have to eat it in moderation.

When it came to creating this list, researchers took into consideration a number of factors. They include the number of chocolate factories, the presence of local chocolatiers and dessert shops. In addition, they looked at sweet entertainment. Things like museums, theme parks, tours and chocolate or dessert events.

Chocolate lovers are in for disappointment if a trip to Sioux Falls, SD is on the list. That city ranked dead last when it came to best cities for chocolate lovers. Also making the bittersweet list are Columbus, GA and Mesquite, TX. Chocolate is just not their jam.

Spoiler alert only one Florida city made the top ten list. Bet you can guess which one. Even though Southwest Florida is home to award winning Norman Love Confections, no city in our region ranked. That's because we don't fit the research parameters of biggest 190 cities. If they had a secondary ranking, I'm sure Fort Myers or Naples would make an appearance.

One more thing for dessert lovers. If you like a little seasonal pumpkin spice with your chocolate, there are some good recipes here.

The home of Hershey's Chocolates, the only surprising thing about this is the it's not further up the list

The home of Ghirardelli Chocolates. This makes sense.
