I Love Reese's Day
May 18, Sunday
History of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were created by Harry Burnett Reese. In 1923, he founded the H.B. Reese Candy Company, and in 1928, he introduced the famous candies, which quickly became popular. Reese originally worked on a dairy farm owned by Hershey and later began making candies in his basement using Hershey's chocolate.
Why May 18?
The date of May 18 was chosen for a reason. It falls between two other holidays: National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day in March and Chocolate Day in July. Thus, I Love Reese's Day combines both ingredients — peanut butter and chocolate — into one celebration.
How I Love Reese's Day is Celebrated
The celebration includes various activities:
* Making desserts with Reese's candies, such as brownies, cupcakes, and pies.
* Organizing scavenger hunts and games with Reese's for friends and family.
* Donating candies to local charities or food banks.
* Attending themed events and promotions organized by Hershey in locations like airports and stores.

It brings fans together to enjoy their favorite candies, share them with others, and take part in fun events.
