Meet Andrew Athias, “The Reese's Guy.” It's his jawn: “Everyone has a favorite something, I just happen to be outwardly expressive about it, as a Philadelphian would. When we like something we're going to tell you about it whether you want to hear it or not.”

We doubled down on this new attitude, partnering with Will Arnett as our voice of the brand. An unapologetic, persuasive, devil-on-your-shoulder not-so-subtly pushing you to stop doing whatever you're doing and go get a Reese's. And to make it even harder to resist, we used real products across all our communications.

And we're not ashamed to rub that fact in your face. These spots continue the super confident “Not Sorry” campaign, voiced by Will Arnett.

The ingenious flavor combination in each of these treats can be traced back to 1928, when H.B. Reese, an employee of The Hershey Company, created REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups in his basement.

First introduced around 1928, the PB cups were not a stand-alone treat, but were marketed as part of an assortment of candies that you could buy by the weight. They were named for their creator, Harry Burnett Reese. Unlike Milton Hershey, it was not obvious that Harry Reese was destined to become a confectioner.

According to the Hershey's Community Archives, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups get their name from their founder, Harry Burnett Reese. H.B. Reese started out in the candy business by managing dairy production for Milton S. Hershey.

The original incarnation of Reese's #NotSorry was a response to the campaign “Sorry, I Was Eating a Milky Way” launched by competitor Mars in 2012. The Halloween season is a highly competitive time for candy brands, as they attempt to lure consumers and drive sales ahead of trick-or-treating.
