One of the most popular Halloween treats, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Millions are given out and consumed every year. But if you haven’t noticed before there is an apostrophe on Reese. Meaning they were named after someone. But who?!
The candy was created back in 1928 by Harry Burnett Reese who was a former employee of the Hershey Chocolate company. The Lizzie Bar and Johnny Bar were the first candy bars he created and named after his daughter and son. But when he came up with this chocolate-covered peanut butter cup creation he decided this one would be named after himself naming it… the now famous “Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups”.
Thank you Harry Burnett Reese for your delicious creation.

Anytime you can break a world record and help people at the same time it’s a good day.
That’s what this one grocery store in Nebraska did breaking the world record for making the largest ice cream sandwich. They created a 2,960-pound treat. Then decided to divide it up and serve it to families in need at two local food banks.
The people at Guinness set the goal for the record at 2,460 pounds, and it took a team of 30 employees from the store working for five hours to create the monster ice cream sandwich that beat the goal weight by 500 pounds.
They must have had to deliver that thing pretty quick so it didn’t melt. Yummy.
Tonight is game 1 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves. I know, I know, bummer none of the Connecticut adjacent teams made it. Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox all out. Red Sox at least came close!
Today’s mystery… why do they call it the “World Series”?
It all started with a guy named Barney Dreyfuss who was the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1903. He wrote a letter to the owner of the Boston Red Sox challenging them to a ‘World’s Championship Series’. The Pirates were the best National League team that year and the Red Sox were the best in the American League. The name stuck ever since but has been shortened to World Series.
So… go Braves I guess tonight? Because everyone hates the Astros for cheating and I know a few people who live down in ATL.
