Elvis-themed Peanut Butter Cups

June 6, 2008 by traveler.

I was browsing the candy aisle when I stopped abruptly in my tracks. Elvis Presley Collector Edition Reese’s Peanut Butter & Banana Creme Cups. The marketers did their job- they convinced me to part with my change to purchase a product that I guessed would be terrible.

A few minutes (and several grams of saturated fat) later, the candy exceeded my expectations. It was even more terrible than I had guessed. Of all the artificial fruit flavors out there, I have always hated fake banana flavor the most. Fake banana flavor is so bad, it makes me hate the taste of actual bananas. Burying that flavor among enjoyable chocolate and peanut butter doesn’t work well. Skip the ‘collector’s edition’ and go with the tried and true PB cups. These Peanut Butter & Banana Creme cups are so bad they beg the question- is this what killed Elvis?
