A story claiming that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will be discontinued has unleashed a pandemic of chocolate-related freak-outs all over Facebook. The good news is it's a hoax — the world's greatest cup-based candy is not going anywhere.
Obviously, the hoax took off online because Reese's are fucking delicious and any attempt to discontinue them would be a goddamn global tragedy. This guy said he'd "personally lead the riots!!!"
This woman is a candy apocalypse prepper who hatched a plan to "go buy a stockpile and freeze them."
Some people completely lost it.
As people learned that the story was fake, they were understandably filled with righteous outrage.
Someone seriously posted a fake article that @ReesesPBCups were being discontinued next month. I will not stand for that type of nonsense.
Meanwhile, the Reese's Twitter account has been hard at work debunking the false story.
@ProfSquall Nope! Don't believe everything you read on the internet!
