Resse's Eggs are, simply put, the perfect candy. I used to buy pack after pack of these every year. I used to buy extras and freeze them so I could have them later in the year. But no more. These two Reese's Eggs represent my entire annual consumption for this year. Why? Because I don't want to have to go buy all new pants.
There is of course a right way and a wrong way to eat a Reese's Egg. You don't just tear open the wrapper and shove the egg into your mouth in a few bites. Unless you're a shameless heathen. Reese's Eggs should be savored. And as such there are a few simple steps to follow to ensure you consume your Reese's Egg properly. These steps are in no way obsessive, compulsive or borderline insane. Just like only eating M&Ms in color matched pairs is perfectly normal behavior to exhibit.
How To Eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg:
1. Remove your Reese's Egg from the wrapper but leave it on the cardboard insert.
2. Using a knife, cut the egg down the middle the long way. Be sure to use a sharp knife to avoid crushing the egg as you cut.
3. Perpendicular to this cut, cut across the middle the short way.
4. Make two additional cuts half-way between this cut and the egg's ends.
5. Now enjoy your Reese's Eggs in 8 convenient pieces! (There's also a best order to eat the pieces in but I'll leave you to figure that out on your own. It's pretty obvious.)
OMG...my friends, family, co-workers, etc have given me crap for years for eating M&M's the right way. That is, in color order (brown, yellow, orange, green, red, blue), 2 at a time unless there is an odd number, which then, *BONUS*, you get to eat the last 3 together. In the event that a color only has 1 M&M, then it is eaten with the first 2 of the next color, if there is only 1 blue then it is eaten with the last 2 reds.
ReplyDeleteI see in no way, shape or form how this method could be construed as OCD, or CDO (in alphabetical order, as it should be).
I also agree that Reese's eggs are the perfect food, and that they should be eaten in a certain manner but mine is less precise. I just eat them from the fat end to the narrow end.
