Hershey later acquired the Reese's brand in 1963 and has since made it one of its flagship products.\nHershey's did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.\nMrBeast shared screenshots of Brad Reese's comments on X and used the moment to promote his own chocolate company, Feastables.\n\"FYI this is why Feastables started selling peanut butter cups,\" Donaldson wrote, adding, \" We use real peanut butter just like you'd find in a jar.\"\nFeastables, launched in 2022, competes directly with legacy chocolate makers, including Hershey's.\nWhen a user on X questioned whether Donaldson's move had more to do with profits.\nMrBeast pushed back, saying, \"Easier high margin ways to make money than chocolate.\"\nHe added that Feastables aims to build a more ethical supply chain, says the company pays farms a living income reference price, buys fair trade and audits child labor risks.\nPrice Action: Hershey's shares slipped 1.63% on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro.\nHSY stock earns a strong Momentum rating in Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, reflecting a positive price trend across the short, medium and long term.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto: Joe Seer On Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2612527432","isCrawlerRequest":true}
