Of course Halloween is just a couple of weeks away, and I'm a firm believer you don't talk about holidays until a month out.  I just couldn't understand what Reese's was doing here.

Reese's came out with "mystery shapes" in the Christmas bag of candy.  To me they look like chocolate blobs, I might be able to say one looks like a boot.  Reese's said they will tell us what each one means at a later date.

This is probably the best marketing strategy I have ever seen.  People will continue to buy these, and guess what each shape will be.  I am placing bets people will say one shape looks like Jesus.  Happens with potato chips, why not candy?

Take a look for yourself, what do you think?
