Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - a dispute
So two of my coworkers were having a deep and very important conversation this afternoon, about affordable housing. I had just had a difficult meeting about the topic at work, and was decompressing with my coworkers. Incidentally, I had also just relaxed by eating a couple reese's peanut butter cups. Making a comment about the chocolate, the conversation followed like this:
Coworker A: "Ahhhhh, the little ones?"
Me: "No way, the full size originals."
A: "I've always liked the little ones better."
Me: "No, I prefer the bigger ones."
Coworker J: "Me too, I've always liked the big ones better."
A, to me: "Why is that KG?"
Me: "Better ratio."
A: "But the little onces have a better ratio, more chocolate than peanut butter.
Me: I know, the big ones have a better ratio of of peanut butter to chocolate. Mmmmm, peanut butter goodness."
J: "Wait, I think there's more peanut butter in the little ones, that's why I like the big ones."
Me: "No, there can't be. There's more edge on the little ones, and more of the thin flat on the big ones. It's kinda like brownies - the edge pieces and the middle pieces."
A chuckle from the hallway.....we look up.
Client: "Wow, you guys are really busy, aren't you?"
Aack! Such a Seinfield moment!
But really, what do you think? Is there a higher ratio of chocolate to peanut butter in the little ones, and higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate in the bigger ones? Or is it vice versa?
You can damn well bet that I'm going to get to the bottom of this one.
