Can’t wait for the Angel Reese’s pieces vs Caitlin Clark bars advertising wars

And then when she loses in the finals to Clark the NY Post headline “Reese’s in pieces”

Neither of these teams are going to the finals.

Clark bars are so astonishingly better than Butterfingers.


Yodfather

Butterfinger just has a bigger budget. Not a superior product. I like them but next to Clark’s….


gablekevin

I had a Zagnut bar the other day and holy shit if they just covered it in chocolate it would be the king of butterfingers

kihraxz_king

I grew up loving clark bars. Gramma would always have a couple hidden away somewhere for if I was anything other than a hellion. Only I couldn't prnounce them properly when i was really young. Clark Chocolate bars came out as Clockshit bars And gramma was VERY religious, anti-swearing, etc... But she never called me on that. I was mortified a couple years later when I realized what i had been doing. Gramma was from the depression, and was stoic as fuck when it came to dolling out affection. But little things like that kept popping up to 100% prove how much she really did care for us. She just couldn't ever put it in words. I didn't like her much when i was small. I have a far greater appreciation for her now.

Never understood how Tim Duncan didn’t have an endorsement deal with Dunkin’ Donuts


exitlevelposition

He could unite Tim Horton's and Dunkin Donuts!


Tacothekid

Tim's Dunkin Horton Donuts


NottDisgruntled

Was Dunkin even in Texas back then? Because I know it wasn’t here in California for the majority of his career.


chewytime

They were in Texas at least by the early 2000s, if not late 90s. I remember visiting my cousins in Texas as a kid back then and seeing a Dunkin.’ Not sure how popular they were then though. Cant remember the last time I had Dunkin’ outside of like an airport. Anytime someone brings donuts to the office, it’s almost always from a local mom and pop donut shop.


HtownTexans

I went to college in San Antonio during that time and cant really remember seeing any Dunkin Donuts. They are there now according to google. Tim was in a TON of HEB commercials though with the rest of that squad and they are [absolutely hilarious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41QB6AmkM2I).


Tommy_Wisseau_burner

It’s because them big ol women gobbled all them donuts


GarrettLutherisAHomo

SA’s all about that Shipleys donuts, baby!


butt_fun

Was gonna say, I don’t think they had any real presence outside of New England until ten ish years ago Plus, Tim strikes me as the kind of guy that wouldn’t want his face on a product unless he believed in it, and no one can endorse Dunkin in good faith because their product is so ass


adubb221

they've been in the chicagoland area for over 30 years. teachers used to bring the munchkins all throughout grammar school. they are definitely trash though.


GatorWills

Dunkin was everywhere in the south over 10 years ago I’m pretty sure.


formerlyanonymous_

They've had an unsuccessful run in Texas. Lots of stores pop up, all fold after a year or two. Krispy Kreme is going through the tail end of the cycle now with stores closing. Tim Hortons are just starting expansion. Texas has it's own chains that dominate. Endorsing the others may bring a quick payday, but just added ridicule of fans that would actually see the commercials.


GatorWills

I think that’s the same reason why it took so long for Dunkin to come to California, besides the supply chain restrictions. LA specifically has had a ton of Dunkin’s pop up in the last decade but I don’t remember how many have lasted. There’s just too many independent Cambodian- owned donut shops that make far better donuts. And Winchell’s.


RoiVampire

Southeast Texan here and there’s been a Dunkin Donuts in Beaumont since the early 90s. A few years ago a second one popped up. We only go for the coffee, our donuts come from local places


Notsozander

Which chains dominate in Texas? Does Buc-ees do brekky?


Foggl3

Shipleys is king


zr0th

Buccees does do breakfast. Shipley’s is the main donut chain, but most people I know go to local donut shops or taco stands. Kolaches are also popular and available at most local donut shops.


Three_M_cats

I’ve been buying Dunkin in NC since at least 1994…and this is supposedly Krispy Kreme country.


Ok_Belt2521

I remember going to Dunkin’ in Texas in the 90s. They were definitely in the dfw area.


fibberjabber

That’s weird to read because Dunkin Donuts been big in the Philippines since at least the 90s


bundeywundey

All over Chicagoland 20+ years ago.


The_Ineffable_One

They were nationwide by at least 2000. Source: Am former donut lawyer. Client was Dunkin'.


mynameisnotshamus

The Cambodian doughnuts kept it out of CA for a while. Pretty interesting story. [Doughnut King documentary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Donut_King)


Bostonterrierpug

I think after the whole al Pacino fiasco, no one wanted to touch Dunkin https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu8q3fcKNMk


sroomek

https://www.reddit.com/r/moviescirclejerk/s/v3Cwhi8BIo


LordOfWor

Mike Trout, from New Jersey, endorses Subway and not Jersey Mike’s. It infuriates me.


ali_al

Probably mostly due to not enough overlap between where Dunkin’s was in his prime and what level of fame he had in those regions. 


A1ienspacebats

He was too concerned with the fundamentals.


Repostbot3784

Punk rock icon tim duncan would never sell out!  How dare you even suggest it!


PopularGlass3230

In all honesty. I think when Duncan played, Dunkin donuts was more of a north east US thing since it started in Mass. They didn't even really break into California market until the mid 2010s I think. Even now the entire state of Texas has 226 locations. For reference the state of Connecticut has over 450 and it's the size of Texas left testicle. 


unclemuscles13

What the Celtics could have had…


Hour_Gur4995

Maybe he didn’t want to be associated with their trash ass donuts


KarmaHorn

Article is AI-written garbage


mercutio1

Which is shameful enough on its own, but at least have someone proofread it a *little* bit. > The Chicago Sky forward and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Impressive accomplishment, given that she’s currently in the middle of her rookie season…


KarmaHorn

This is what got me too.


MuddydogNew

AI is so good it can predict the future.


cdbloosh

Like all SI articles! Inexplicable to me that people still post them


mostuselessredditor

Nobody works at Sports Illustarted anymore I believe


ericwbolin

Garbage, yes. AI, no. Josh is a real person.


CJ22xxKinvara

A real person can prompt a generative AI to write an article about a thing encompassing a few specific details they know and stamp their name on it ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Oof


Star-K

The 2 cup Reese's costs $2.79 before tax now. Fuck that.


Moopboop207

Yeah processed foods aren’t really that cheap. They’re just convenient.


rumski

Damn where do you all live 😬 I get the single Big Cups for .99


Star-K

NC used to be cheap now all regular size candy is 2.79 at the convenience store. I only noticed cause I bought some tic tacs and gasped when the price came up. That is a nickel per tic tac.


betterplanwithchan

I live in NC, you might be getting nickel and dimed by those stores

The 2 pack of big cups are $3.85 at 7-11. It’s crazy.

Dollar Store. Sleeve of 5 slightly smaller than standard cups. $1.25

$6.99 for a 25-count “pantry pack” of the standard cups


rich90715

The price of cocoa this year hit all time highs. In May, a metric ton was trading for over $12k when a year ago it was closer to $3.2k. It’s come down but it’s still trading at close to $8k. Sugar has also been up in the last year but is starting to stabilize. The harvest for cocoa next year is more promising but there will still be pressure on the price of cocoa. Chocolate candy will get more expensive, unfortunately.


HughJass321

Cocoa has skyrocketed in price

Reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year? Seems a little premature


rtb001

I'm sorry but most obvious endorsement deal crown will forever belong to [Decoldest Crawford](https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2022/08/17/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/Decoldest-Crawford-AC-NIL-deal.aspx) HVAC commercial!


BitterJD

Milk chocolate?


gablekevin

Peanut butter cups filled with huge chunks of eyelashes


jeckles

Thanks I hate it


noonehasthisoneyet

A peanut butter cup for haters lol. Jk


gordongroans

Nothing tops Steve Heinz wearing #57 in hockey.


[deleted]

Powerade should sponsor the hater and release haterade flavor


mostuselessredditor

It would do numbers. People love a villain.


eatfoodoften

Did Coco Crisp ever get a deal?


SeoulPower88

Now this is something I want to know!


Worthyness

No, but he did make an app where you could catch random things in his afro for funsies.


jranft

Here is a quote from that article. “The Chicago Sky forward and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year.” Makes me question all of it.


[deleted]

Pirate’s Booty endorsement coming?


tenaciousdeev

No wonder Mars never teamed up with Eminem and Cadbury never worked with Carmelo Anthony.


OdiousApparatus

Hopefully this will help people learn that it’s pronounced Reese’s and not Ree-See’s


DealingDrugs

Who says that, and why aren’t they in jail?


OdiousApparatus

I think it’s a thing some northern states say. I definitely know a lot of Michigan people say it that way. I hate it


[deleted]

Candy company won’t want to be associated with someone so bitter.


jim_hello

"I'm WNBA star Angel Reese, buy the limited time Caitlyn Clark Reese cups at your closest Walgreens"


assassbaby

mostuselessredditor

I’m sure you know much more than they do


bubba889019

I’m old enough to remember Jake Butt’s Charmin sponsorship.


wessex464

This will be right up there with Mahomes for home owners insurance. What dad doesn't love some good punny jokes?


atomlowe

Didn't Steve Heinze sign a deal with Heinz and wear 57?


Striderfighter

Hershey's Baking chocolate?


SolidContribution688

I’d eat it!


Loga5655

Doubt they’d want that kind of liability


stevil77

I guess they want poor sportsmanship to hitch their wagon to?


swedeeeeeeeeeeeee

Too bad the Ice age franchise isn’t making movies anymore


crossmirage

I'm disappointed to report that my first thought was, "I don't get it. Because she's black?"


KingFucboi

Talking shit about Caitlin Clark is the only reason she’s getting this deal.


Substantial-Run7244

Clown with a chocolate ?


mostuselessredditor

27 and 10 last night stay pressed


cancelprone

I would stop eating them if that were to happen.


RSN_Kabutops

Son_Of_A_Plumber

PerryNeeum

What’s Hershey’s saltiest candy? Not salty and sweet. Just salty


karspearhollow

Why, you looking for a deal, too?


PerryNeeum

Not famous enough for a sponsorship


BurgersAndRyes

Hershey owns many salty snack brands as they have aggressively tried to increase their market share in that realm. So I would say one of their Krave jerky products. They could make a Bayou Barbie-Q flavor.


PerryNeeum

I’ll allow it

Flashy-Protection424

Hershey can’t even be labeled as chocolate over there due to the low cacao percentage. They are such a fucking joke . The Cadbury in the USA is NOT the same as in Europe. It’s made by Hershey and tastes like garbage. 💩


TATWD52020

I’ve had Europe all over the world. Hersheys is hands down the best. British Cadbury eggs taste like milk duds


Flashy-Protection424

Ok , everyone has their own preference, you apparently like “chocolate flavored “ as opposed to real chocolate. And that’s OK . 😃🤗 my girlfriend like “white chocolate“ they should name that shit “Dolezal” or “Hamilton” after George Hamilton 🤣


Queasy_Monitor7305

Just wait until Angel Reese does or says something so stupidly offensive Hershey is going to be backpeddling on their endorsement. Angel Reese obviously has a personality disorder.


JulioForte

I don’t know why you would want someone that so much of the country dislikes and is only know because she’s the foil to Caitlin Clark


Razatiger

Because shes got a huge following and is good at basketball? Shes leading on some sites in the ROY race.


sevillista

Is she a little too "uppity" for your sensibilities?


Queasy_Monitor7305

If by 'a little too uppity' you mean to infer I think Angel Reese is a little too jealous, a little too childish, and at any given time a potential devastating brand public relations disaster just waiting to happen, then yes.


Son_Of_A_Plumber

No they meant you’re racist because they’re not intelligent enough to think outside the lowest common denominator. They probably had a matching 1.8 GPA like Angel.


sevillista

Thanks for confirming


buffalotrace

Those shoes were fire 


thisxisxlife

If I have a kid I’m naming them Abraham Google Lincoln. Obvious endorsements with Google and a car company.


jrhooo

I hate when companies fail to cash in on an obvious ad campaign Examples: Heinecken not sponsoring Taylor Heinecke Adidas sponsoring “RGIII” and doing NOTHING with the fact that their big name athlete literally had “three stripes” in his name.


JackHammerPlower

Heresy kisses?


Acceptable_Ad3173

Good for Angel


Teaching-beinghuman

Good for her!


anothertokyo

Get. That. Bag. Angel.


CodingFatman

👎 angel reese is garbage.


TopSoulMan

She should get a sponsorship with Cinnamon Angels Fly Fly Away.


imJGott

Welp, she is going to have to keep a clean image if the deal goes through. It’s an obvious deal due to her last name.


BigGrandpaGunther

I'm dumb as hell because I thought it was because she was black and sexy.


brokenlampPMW2

Still surprised Marvel never made a deal with Nico "Hulk"enberg


Another_Road

Angel Reese is being pretty smart about this whole Caitlyn Clark thing. Everybody loves to hate someone.


BERRY_BADRENATH

That would imply her behavior is calculated and not just that of a petty bitter woman child.

Carolina296864

I could be wrong, but maybe thats because youre (purposefully/not-purposefully) reading bias news. If every single article you read has something negative to say, it think it comes to a point where youre just reading agenda-led articles. "Everything ive read about Marvel movies tells me they are ass." At some point, youre just only reading articles written by people who clearly do not like Marvel movies.


SeoulPower88

Lmao… I don’t know what you’re reading, but obviously you’ve never watched her play.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SeoulPower88

Yeah… I already sense your bias. That’s fine. I appreciate idiots in this world too.


fernandocrustacean

She says nothing but supportive things about teammates and other WNBA players. Try again.


Carolina296864

*sees article speaking positively about Angel Reese* “Anything i ever i see about her is negative” Well i guess youve destroyed your own argument simply by you commenting on this article.


monistaa

Angel Reese deserves the WNBA Rookie of the Year award.


jranft

Why? She only leads rookies in rebounds.


SigmaLance

Her own brick shot rebounds.


a-random-gal

she leads everybody, even if you take out her own misses


jranft

I meant the only scoring category she leads, among rookies is rebounds. Points is most important rebounds and assists are a tie. Clark leads in two out of three. The award is Rookie of the Year. Not Rebounder of the Year.


a-random-gal

yeah, but clark doesn’t lead the league in any category, while reese does. she’s the best in the league at what she is good at.. CC is not.


skinink

So she’s endorsing Whatchamacallit?


godplaysdice_

Hershey's is bottom-tier chocolate.


dadzcad

I doubt all the haters on this would be so negative if we were talking about Caitlin Clark….wonder why? 🤷🏽‍♂️ ANYWAY, if Reese and her team play it right and she keeps performing at the level she’s at currently, she could likely prove as close as draw for Chicago sports as MJ became. It’s all about marketing and her on-court performance. I wish her the best of luck!


fifaguy1210
