"Reese's Bites were introduced by Hershey in 2000 as part of a line called Hershey Bites, which included Kit Kat Bites, Rolo Bites, Peppermint Patty Bites, and others. They were Hershey's version of Whoppers or Butterfinger BBs, and were pretty popular despite being discontinued in 2007."
"One rumor is that Hershey removed the Bites line from shelves for being a choking hazard, which seems odd considering that Whoppers had been around since 1939, and M&M's and Skittles were, and still are, obviously well-known."
"In 2019, someone made a petition to bring back the Reese's version of this retired candy line, and since then, it's received over 1,500 signatures. One person left a comment, saying, 'These were a part of my childhood.'"
Reese's, established in 1928, is known for its milk chocolate and peanut butter cups, inspiring numerous variations over the years. Many candies have been discontinued due to poor performance, changing trends, or limited-time offerings. Despite some failures, Reese's generally succeeds in innovation. There is significant interest in bringing back discontinued flavors, evidenced by social media petitions. One notable example is Reese's Bites, popular from 2000 to 2007, which has garnered a petition for its return with over 1,500 signatures.
