      Bruh I thought it was just they poured the melted chocolate into the wrapper and since the wrapper is shaped like that it dried like that? Wait- why are wrappers even shaped like that? No seriously I think you should make a video on that if you haven’t already

    it has ridges because of the wrapper. it does add stability yes but it's made that way because it allows a flat circle wrapper to be pressed into that cup shape. it makes it easy to mass produce those cupcake wrappers out of flat sheets of material

    The ridges are added for the same reason cupcake wrappers have ridges. You can shape a circular piece of paper into a cup with ridges, but not one without ridges. You'd have slack that would need trimmed. The chocolate is then poured into the cup with ridges as is the peanut butter

      Why Resse's have rigs
      Robot say : I believe you're asking about why Reese's Cups have ridges. The ridges on Reese's Cups are simply a design choice made by the Hershey's company to give the candy a more interesting texture and appearance. However, some people believe that the ridges help to hold more of the peanut butter filling, making for a better overall taste experience.

    Actually, the reason of the ridges is a long running tradition. When they first made them they were make in coffee filters, and a side affect were the ridges on the side, once they started selling them, it was decided it made the reese’s unique and they shouldn’t remove them.

    Reese's cups have ridges because they were designed to resemble the shape of a traditional paper cup that holds individual portions of candies or cupcakes. The ridges were originally added to give the candy a more authentic look, as if it was served in a paper cup.
    The ridges also serve a functional purpose by providing a structural support to the cup, allowing it to maintain its shape and hold its filling. This is especially important since Reese's cups have a creamy peanut butter filling, which can be quite soft and runny at room temperature.
    Overall, the ridges on Reese's cups are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally important to the candy's design.

  • @hunzhurte
    @hunzhurte Год назад +525

    It's just because of how the wrapper is made. It is made out of flat sheets of parchment paper and to make a conical shape out of a flat perimeter of paper, the paper simply has to fold iver itself in order to make this three dimentional shape. In order to make the wrapper a circular shape and not a box with just a few folds, they add a bunch of uniform "zig zag folds" in order to make the flat piece of paper fold up in a circular shape without making it fold over itself with few, huge folds.
    You can actually deconstruct the wrapper into its original flat shape by simply flattening out these ripples, which is what backs up this argument: If you need to remove the ripples in order to make it a flat piece of paper, the ripples *need to be added* in order to turn the flat vase material into the iconic conical shape.
    Case closed.
    Some questions don't require research, just some basic topology and critical thinking.

    The ridges on Reese's Cups are designed to give the cup extra strength and stability so it does not collapse when it is filled with chocolate. They also help to maintain the cup's shape when it is being handled or packaged.

    My theory is Reese's cups have ridges to help with the manufacturing process and to give the chocolate a unique texture. The ridges help to keep the chocolate in the proper shape while it cools and solidifies, and they also provide a distinct texture when biting into the candy. Additionally, the ridges also make it easy to tell the top and bottom of the cup.

  • @aryanahmed8348
    @aryanahmed8348 Год назад +895

    Reese's cups have ridges around the edge because they are designed to mimic the appearance of a real peanut butter cup, which usually has a crimped edge from the paper wrapper that is used during the manufacturing process. The ridges on the chocolate exterior of Reese's cups help to create the same look and feel, adding to the overall texture and taste experience. Additionally, the ridges can help to keep the peanut butter filling in place and prevent it from spilling out of the cup.

    All you have to do is watch this show entitled 'The Food That Built America' and it totally explains exactly why Reese's Peanutbutter Cups have ridges.
    According to the show, after being fired from Hershey's, HB Reese began experimenting with his own chocolate concoctions.
    He tried many times to make the peanutbutter cups, but they kept falling apart.
    After he finally used his wife's baking cups to hold the peanutbutter cups together, that finally worked.
    So, Reese's peanutbutter cups have ridges because the shape of the baking cups holds them together 😁.

    Here’s the answer:
    1. Ridges vs plain wrapper - through ridges you get more surface area, every crinkle there produces double the size.
    2. If you use plain wrapper it will slip off the chocolate. The wrapper will fall down in the packaging or at any other opportunity
    3. Ridges help the chocolate to enter the groove and create a adhesive like packing. The same is not possible without ridges
    4. Look how you could peel the wrapper, that peeling is not possible with regular wrapper. Regular plain wrapper will slip off from the chocolate easily. Chocolate is non sticky :)

      Literally nothing of this lol.
      It's just extremely simple (read: cheap) to make a flat round shape become a cone by adding wrinkles. Look at the wrappers of for example cupcakes. Makes it easy to transport the wrappers as sheets of paper, then just fold them in place at the factory. Machines for this are extremely common since they've been around for decades.
      The chocolate then is being poured into the wrapper taking on its form.
      If they really were concerned about the chocolate slipping out of the wrapper they'd use one that wraps it whole. Also it slipping out is no problem anyways since they're wrapped another time for transport/sale to avoid it spoiling.

    In a way, the extra chocolate theory holds up when you think about surface area. Every ridge has its own surface, and when you add the area of each ridge to the total surface area of the cup, you'd get a greater surface area than just a cylindrical shape, which in turn means more chocolate

    • @zacharytaylor190

      You are reffering to surface area, a 2d measure. More chocolate would equate to volume, which could be accomplished either way.

  • @ofekynonalush4947

    The ridges on cupcakes are usually formed by the liners or cupcake wrappers, which are designed to keep the batter contained while it bakes and to prevent it from sticking to the pan. The ridges can serve as a decorative feature as well, providing a texture contrast with the smooth icing or frosting that is often applied on top.
    Some bakers choose to use cupcake wrappers with ridges specifically for aesthetic reasons, while others prefer plain wrappers that create a smoother surface. Ultimately, the choice of wrapper will depend on personal preference and the desired look of the finished cupcake.

    • @Datoda
      @Datoda Год назад +1

      That wasn't the point of the short, everyone knows where the ridges come from, but the question was why do Reeses use wrappers with ridges when they could also make them flat? And the actual answer is super obvious, try to make a wrapper out of a singular piece of plastic/paper that is flat. It's impossible. With ridges you can create a wrapper like you would find on cupcakes from a single piece of circular plastic/paper.

    Reese's Cups, the popular peanut butter and chocolate candy, have ridges on the edges primarily for aesthetic and textural purposes. The ridges serve to enhance the visual appeal of the candy, giving it a distinct and recognizable appearance. Additionally, the ridges can provide a subtle textural contrast to the smooth peanut butter filling and creamy chocolate coating, adding an extra element of enjoyment to the eating experience. The ridges may also help with gripping the candy and prevent it from slipping out of your fingers. Ultimately, the ridges on Reese's Cups are part of the brand's unique design and contribute to the overall appeal of the product.

    Reese's cups have ridges to make them easier to hold and to create a distinct texture that sets them apart from other candies. The ridges also provide a surface for the chocolate to grip, which helps to prevent the cups from slipping out of your hands. Additionally, the ridges can serve as a visual cue for portion control, as each ridge provides a convenient break point for dividing the cup into smaller pieces. The ridges have become an iconic design feature of Reese's cups, and many people associate them with the brand.

    I think the reason why Reese's Cups has ridges is to make it so the wrapper doesn't slide off.
    Just bear with me for a moment.
    When you take two books and stack their pages on top of each other, enough friction is created and makes them very hard to pull apart. It can also be said when you pick up water with spikes. The water's surface tension allows some to stay on and within the spikes.
    So that's why Reese's Cups have ridges, not to increase chocolate, not to make the wrapper easier to take off, but to make sure the wrapper doesn't fall off.

    Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have ridges on the edge of the cup because they are designed to be a perfect combination of smooth and creamy peanut butter with a chocolate coating. The ridges help to create a better texture and allow for a more enjoyable eating experience. Additionally, the ridges also allow the chocolate to adhere better to the peanut butter filling, which ensures that the two flavors remain perfectly balanced throughout the entire cup.

    There are a couple reasons; 1. (Side effect more than a reason) The ridges increase the surface area to radius ratio, meaning that the wrapper are less likely to detach in transport; 2. (The more important reason) The wrappers are flat, it’s actually pretty hard to produce a cup-shaped piece of paper, so Reese’s actually folds the wrappers along the edges so that it forms a cup shape; this wrapper is then filled with a layer of chocolate, has the peanut butter disk inserted, and is finally topped off with more chocolate, leading the peanut butter cup to take the shape of the ridged wrapper.

    Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are known for their iconic ridges, which serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose. Functionally, the ridges help make the cups easier to hold, and they also keep the peanut butter and chocolate layers from sticking together. Aesthetically, the ridges add texture and make the cups more interesting to look at. The ridges have become so closely associated with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that they are now part of the brand's logo. So while the ridges may not be absolutely essential, they do add a lot to the overall flavor and experience of the product.

    Ridges on the cups of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were added for a practical reason: to prevent the peanut butter filling from sticking to the wrapper. The ridges create an air space between the filling and the wrapper, which keeps the two from sticking together and helps to preserve the texture and shape of the peanut butter cup. Additionally, the ridges add a texture to the outside of the cup, which can enhance the overall eating experience.

    Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have ridges on them for a couple of reasons. The ridges serve both functional and aesthetic purposes.
    1. Structural Integrity: The ridges on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups help to provide structural integrity to the chocolate shell. The ridges act as support, preventing the chocolate from cracking or breaking easily. This is especially important because the peanut butter filling inside the cup is soft and can be quite delicate. The ridges help to maintain the cup's shape and protect the filling.
    2. Grip and Texture: The ridges also serve as a way to enhance the eating experience. They provide a textured surface that makes it easier to hold and grip the peanut butter cup. The ridges add a tactile element to the overall enjoyment of eating the candy.
    3. Visual Appeal: Additionally, the ridges on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups add visual appeal. They create an interesting pattern on the chocolate surface, making the candy more visually appealing and recognizable. The ridges contribute to the iconic look of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, making them easily identifiable and distinct from other chocolate candies.
    It's worth noting that the specific design and number of ridges may vary slightly depending on the size and shape of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. However, the overall purpose of the ridges remains the same - to provide structural support, enhance grip, and add visual appeal to the candy.
