HERSHEY, Penn., March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, the Reese's brand will be taking Twitter by storm to join the salty conversations that come up this time of year… about basketball. That's right, beginning at tip off and throughout March Madness, the Reese's brand wants to make light of those bracket busting, air ball, buzzer beater moments. Throughout the tournament, fans will have the chance to win Reese's biggest and saltiest treat ever created – Reese's Big Cups with Pretzels. Fans who follow and retweet @Reeses or use #SaltyReeses and #Sweepstakes when prompted by designated Tweets on Reese's Twitter account, will be qualified to win – but you have to be quick, they will only be open for 10 minute periods.

Along the way, Reese's will be right there with fans, witnessing and reacting to the most epic, unbelievable, and downright salty tournament moments. We've been salty once before, but this time we want everyone to join.

"In a year that has given us way too many reasons to be salty, the Reese's brand is giving fans a voice to share their saltiness. And what better time than one of the saltiest seasons of the year, March Madness," said Margo McIlvaine, Reese's Brand Manager. "From bracket fails to epic upsets, we will be right there with fans reveling in the saltiness and giving fans something sweet (and salty) to numb the pain – our new Reese's Big Cups with Pretzels."

Starting tomorrow March 18th and throughout the tournament, 1,200 lucky fans each will win one pack of delicious Reese's Big Cups with Pretzels - just a bit saltier than the classic Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

In addition to the giveaway and to spread the love, a few salty college towns may get a pallet of Reese's Big Cups to sweeten any disappointment they may be feeling around the tournament.
