It didn’t appeal to me, but the folks up here who tried the new Reese’s Peanut Butter and Banana Cup (King size, of course!) that came in the mail today gave it a hunka-hunka thumbs up. (Including Michael Donahue, who took the picture of the cool car the candy came in.)
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ death and I guess in tribute I’ll need to pull out the Elvis cookbooks we have around here and see if anything sounds good. Meanwhile, if you’re a fan of peanut butter and banana (my dad loved PB&B sandwiches, too), grab a new Reese’s–you could win prizes like a trip for four to Memphis (surely you know someone you want to invite) a scarf owned by Elvis; a cancelled check signed by Elvis; and Elvis-themed sunglasses and license plates.
In addition, one lucky grand-prize winner will ride like The King in an overhauled, totally redesigned custom Reese’s Elvis Tribute Car built by car-crafting legend Boyd Coddington. The 1957 Cadillac is inspired by Elvis’ pink Cadillac and includes all the upgrades and features of a 2007 custom hot rod. Featuring a television, satellite radio, MP3 compatibility, GPS and a mini-refrigerator stocked with Reese’s Elvis Cups, the Reese’s Elvis Tribute Car is rock-star ready.
And oh yes, that last graf came straight from the press release…

I’ve heard this was on the horizon—-any idea where we can purchase it in Memphis, and when?

I saw the Elvis Pez set in Wallgreens. It is a set of different era Elvis (early-military-older) Pez candy dispensers. It looks like a must have for the Elvis fan.

The Elvis Reese’s are at Walgreen’s. I saw them at the one at Summer & Perkins, but you’ve got to think they’re at all locations. I believe they’re a dollar.

I actually saw them today at Kroger and purchases a few for a fellow Elvis fan (as well as myself).
I had to try one…guess what? They are GOOD!
(and they were around 60 cents for a pack of 2)

One of my friends said someone at the office had some & they were a lot better than she expected. She said you can really smell & taste the banana flavor.
