Bar, cup, don’t care.
As long as it comes when I call it.

What about Ferrero Rochers? Candy bars?
Now we’re just being silly. Those are hardly the same as a Reese’s.
Are we talking about the big Reese’s, or the miniatures?
That opens us up to a debate on whether the Snickers/Milky Way/Three Musketeers nibbles that measure about half an inch on a side qualifies as a candy bar…
IMHO, they’re still bar-shaped, and thus qualify as candy bars, whereas the Reese’s miniatures are perfectly round and can therefore be defined as pralines.
Ahh, the appetizer candy bars. “Fun Size” my ass.
I would actually expect the opposite correlation, as it would be about specific, “technical” definitions vs. actual usage.
In actual usage, “Christmas movie” means a movie that is about Christmas–the holiday and/or the mythology. However, one could argue a technical definition of “movie set on Christmas.”
In actual usage, anything that sells candy bars will put Reese’s in with them, and most people when asking for a candy bar would not turn down a Reese’s. However, one could argue that “candy bar” technically must be bar-shaped.
That said, I say “no,” simply because I personally don’t want to watch Die Hard when I’m in the mood for Christmas movies, and I would not offer Reese’s if asked for a “candy bar” unless it was all I had–and then I would say “Is Reese’s okay?” I think both are just about being cute and trying to say something surprising, and are not practical considerations.
There is no way that Reese’s can be classified as a praline.
I think he/she meant “bon-bon.”
Oh, Canada, eh? ![]()
I (a he, BTW) was trying to keep things classy, thank you very much.
Oh really?
Drip a random chocolate scrawl on top of one of these, and it would not look out of place in any overpriced box of assorted chocolates.
Yes, but “bon-bon” is French! ![]()
So would Crunchy Frog.
Try telling that to Constable Clitoris.
Reposting what may be the most important choice you make before the other most important choice you make in a few days.
You are completely wrong in this instance.
No, that’s completely ridiculous. They are two candy bars.
Can the correct answer be, “They are both cups and bars.” Meaning that literally they are cups, but since most people don’t always speak strictly literally – by convention in marketing and use, it’s fine to lump them in with bars.
