Reese's Cups should certainly be considered a "candy bar." It's as much a bar as a Kit Kat.
I'm also not sure how Milky Way hasn't gotten a vote yet.

We've come full circle. Nice.
If you think a cup is a bar that is a you problem.
That definition makes your Kit Kat comment even better.

Candy bar by inclusion. It is sold with every other candy bar. It servers the same purpose. It is not in pellets like M&M's or Skittles. Should we have Reese's in a completely separate candy category, all by itself? Seems petty and redundant.

To add, "thin brick" is the dumbest definition of a candy bar I could imagine.

Sheetz sells at least five different varieties of chocolate cups and they're a gas station. The Twizzlers are also nearby, are they candy bars too? Tootsie Rolls?

Also, I can't find a definition that doesn't include the bar form as the operative characteristic. Probably because it is right there in the name.

I think I remember this from the GRE's:
Mounds is to Almond Joy as Vag is to ?

I don't know of other cups, maybe because I don't have a Sheetz or explore the candy aisle enough. Cups and bars are the same basic thing, and in a poll like this, cups should be included. Twizzlers can be defined as garbage. Tootsie rolls has a "bar." The traditional size would be considered a mini maybe? But, like Twizzlers, are also garbage.

Don't let internet definitions cage your mind. Think freely. Think outside the bar.

A dark chocolate Almond Joy would be the best.

Same basic thing? Yeah I guess now skittles are a candy bar because they’re basically flavored sugar and so is a snickers.

Reese's are sold in "thin brick" packaging...the shape modification isn't enough to obscure the intent...

This is so stupid it has to be a bit.
Brownies are a candy bar now because they are chocolate and sold in bar shape packaging.

Brownies are a baked good, not of the same category as these. In the same way that Reese's Cups aren't a pie...

If the packaging is your hangup how do you respond to the fact that cupped candy is served in wrappers much like a pie tin? No true bar that I know of enjoys a sleeve in addition to the packaging. Unless it comes in a box of assorted chocolates.

The spirit of the poll should include Reese's cups. Forget the asinine bar label

people who think Reese’s cups are candy bars might be dumber than people who think hot dogs are sandwiches

So if someone says their favorite candy bar is Reece's you are going to belittle that view?
