reese's pieces....thats how they gained popularity
I saw an interview with Drew Barrymore & she said Reeses pieces. Which are much better than M&Ms.
Reese's Pieces. M&M's wouldn't take the chance on the movie. Bet they were crying chocolate tears for years afterwards.
It was Reese's Pieces. I think that is the movie where they are first brought into the publics eye, and I even remember the E.T. packaging
it was Reese's!
It's definitely Reese's Pieces. The company had actually paid the director to include their new product in the movie. Reese's Pieces became a hit after the movie released.
The kids fed that alien critter M&Ms, but he spat them out. So they went to Reeses company and asked them to make peanut butter pieces shaped like M&Ms. That critter loved them so much, they couldn't make enough of them. The rest is history.
It was Reese's Pieces
It was supposed to be M&Ms, but they didn't want to pay for the product placement, which Reese's was more than happy to do. Reese's Pieces got really popular, mostly in part, due to the movie's success.
I think it was reeses pieces.
REESES"S
Reese's
it was resse's pieces
resese pieces
It was Reeses Pieces. But from what I think I read regarding the use of M&M's was that they didn't want their product associated with aliens, that they didn't realize the movie was actually a kids movie.
Reeses Pieces was the candy
The candies were Reese's Pieces. They got very popular after that, and there was also a Reese's Pieces cereal that became popular at this time.
In the original script, and the novelization of the movie, it was M&Ms. But M&M wouldn't give them permission to use them in the movie, so they switched to Reese's Pieces. Sales of Reese's Pieces skyrocketed, much to M&Ms chagrin, I'm sure. (Sorry, I've always to use the word chagrin in a sentence, and never had the opportunity.)
Reese's Pieces. It's been awhile since I saw it, but you do see the bag. Also, notice they are not the same colors as M&Ms.
