Note: I received this by E-Mail a few years ago, but foolishly discarded it. It took me awhile to find ti again, but here it is, in all it’s glory.

I remember back in WWII that I ate a Reese’s Peanut
Butter Cup. Back then, they were big enough to live on for a week.
Being the only soldier to have survived the battle in my brigade, I
really didn’t know If I could eat it or not, but I remember my fallen
buddy’s words as he died in my arms: “Paul, if you just take one bite
at a time you can tackle anything.” So I took that giant cup and,
breaking it with the bat Babe Ruth gave me after I struck him out with
two outs in the bottom ofthe ninth in the seventh game of the World
Series, proceeded to wolf down the tiny morsels.

Imagine 70 years ago on a rough road between Idaho and
Logan. There were only Circle K’s, no 7-11’s. You had to bring your
Peanut Butter Cups with you. Ruby and I split one for the first time in
1937.

The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup challenges us to consume.
From the beginning there have been three steps in eating a Reese’s
Peanut Butter Cup. First, remove the wrapper. This is best done
quickly, by turning the cup over, grasping the outer fold and pulling
away from the bottom. Second…
7. Joseph B. Wirthlin
When I was young I would sprint to the corner store, buy
a Reese’s and run my hand through my hair before taking it down in one
bite. These days I don’t sprint, and I have no hair, but the peanut
butter cup remains.
6. Richard G. Scott
If you have not eaten a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, I
plead with you. Eat one now. Enjoy the chocolate, the peanut butter. Do
not delay. If you have thought, “That’s not for me,” I plead with you
to reconsider. Of all foods I treasure, this one was the first.
5. M. Russell Ballard
The time has come when members of the church need to
reach out to our friends and share a cup, a peanut butter cup. It is
not enough to raise a chocolate bar, it must now have peanut butter.
4. Boyd K. Packer
In all my years, I have always eaten my Reese’sPeanut
Butter Cups the same way—the established way we have been instructed to
eat them. There is a far greater evil in this world, though—those who
believe they can eat their cups in a way unconventional to the
time-honored manner. We must be true and faithful and eat our Reese’s
Peanut Butter Cups in the customary and recognized approach as it has
heretofore been established.
3. Neal A. Maxwell
I intentionally initiate the delicious design of the
deglutition of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup by nibbling a negligible nit
of the culinary creamy cavalcade. It is exclusively through small
entities that the great things are fabricated.
2. Thomas S. Monson
I remember I ate my first Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup when
I was a tender lad of eight. My mother came up to me, and with a loving
twinkle in her eye, asked, ‘Tommy, are you eating a Reese’s?’And I would invariably smile up to her, ‘Yes, yes, I am.’
‘But Tommy, did you know that Sister Jensen next door hasn’t eaten a
Reese’s Cup in years?’ My young mind thought upon the plight of my
neighbor. Tears were shed. Hearts were gladdened. A cup was shared.

Hell, Heber, I’ll eat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup any damned way I want!
