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 -Edit: Your Ad Here for $5- Edit 2: Post sponsored by Merlot Industrial Manufacturers Inc.

Actually, the reason of the ridges is a long running tradition.

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.

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. ANDDDD YEESS THAT'S A LOT 😂

[@GamerOfZelda23]

For people who want to know, it’s a style choice

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 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]

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.

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.

Nope, it's chocolate, the paper is the mold and the wrapper, cheeper that's it, nothing more complicated, for a start these have an angled sides so that wouldn't even apply here, they'd come out the mold/wrapping fine without ridges, they are imprinted from the paper mold/wrapping not designed in the other way around

[@Artyjs]

Bro, cause the paper have them, you need to ask why the wrapper has it?

[@aryanahmed8348]

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.

Additionally, the ridges also make it easy to tell the top and bottom 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 😁.

The ridges are simply there to allow more grip on the wrappers. The wrapper marks on the thing itself have ridges because that is the actual shape. The same wrapper ridges can be seen in a couple diy muffin packs the wrappers too are used as fillers. To place the choclate actually inside.

[@mastersword5838]

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.

Ridges on the surface of Reese's cups are designed to enhance the texture and make them easier to hold and eat. The ridges add a slight crunch to the chocolate and provide a tactile experience that differentiates Reese's cups from other chocolate treats. Additionally, the ridges help to reduce the amount of chocolate that sticks to the wrapper, making them easier to unwrap and enjoy. Overall, the ridges are an important part of the Reese's brand and contribute to the unique sensory experience that has made them a beloved snack for generations.

[@FactorofFacts]

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.

[@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.

[@robertstills]

Yea, shouldn't that be obvious? Is this short a troll post

[@Datoda]

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.

[@singagideon]

Bro literally had reese's cups on his keyboard to make it sticky and hard to clean just for this short. Such dedication.

[@Mishcopter1]

It’s because the chocolate is set in the wrapper and the wrapper determines what the outside of it looks like

[@Xx_mero]

Reese's peanut butter cups have ridges because the ridges help to create a distinct texture and add an extra crunch to the candy.

[@cicada.and.pomegranate]

It does add more chocolate. Having more surface area on something means you’ll taste more of it. Giving a textured outside will give more chocolate flavor without needing more chocolate.

Reese's peanut butter cups are an iconic snack that has been enjoyed by people for decades. What makes them so special and distinct is the ridges that line the outside of the cup. These ridges are designed to improve the structural integrity of the cups, making them much less likely to break or crumble when handled. The ridges also give the peanut butter cups a unique texture and look, making them instantly recognizable and familiar to snack lovers everywhere. Additionally, the ridges help to keep the two halves of the cup together while providing a little bit of a crunch when biting or chewing. In short, the ridges of a Reese's peanut butter cup are there to make them look and feel great, while also ensuring that the cup won't easily break apart. The cups also have these iconic ridges because it is easier to mass produce. These ridges are formed when a circle is made and the edges are standing up. This way they can produce the cups in a very fast and efficient manner. This was written by AI.

The AI was wrong. It's just so the wrapper can fit (a flat disk can't be shaped into a cup without those ridges)

It’s legit because fairy cakes have the paper thing like that, so Reese’s can just melt the chocolate and pour it into the mold, which is the 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.

I think it prevents chocolate from melting In high temperatures, which helps it to keep Chocolate in shape
