Candy. The sweet treat that gets many of our mouths watering. Although there are hundreds of variations in the world, there’s one brand that has kept many of us on the edge of our seats: Reese’s Cups. Now, it looks as though two more flavors could be about to hit the shelves.

Falling For The Candy

Many of us have fallen for Reese’s Cups over the years. After all, the candy combines peanut butter and chocolate in a way like no other variation in the world. So what if we told you that two more flavors could be about to hit the shelves in April 2019? Sure, there have been holiday variations over the years, but these two flavors look as though they’re here to stay. The best bit? They could be about to make our chocolate and peanut butter dreams come to life.

Chocolate Lovers

If the chocolate is your favorite part of Reese’s Cups, then look no further. Their brand new flavor, Chocolate Lovers, is about to make all your chocolate dreams come true. The chocolate shell is thicker than ever before, but that’s not all. The new flavor also incorporates a thicker, richer dark chocolate into the recipe. The ridges are thicker than ever meaning that Chocolate Lovers could be all we need to make our sweet dreams come to life.

Peanut Butter Lovers

Of course, if it’s the peanut butter that keeps you hooked, then it might be time to check out Peanut Butter Lovers. This Reese’s Cup comes with more peanut butter than we ever imagined. As well as packing out the filling of this candy, Peanut Butter Lovers comes with a peanut butter top making the flavor stand out more than ever. Sure, the bottom of the shell is still made out of the same great chocolate, but there are fewer ridges meaning that we can enjoy even more of the peanut butter thanks to this new creation.

Reese’s Cups are made up of two of our favorite things: peanut butter and chocolate. Now, it looks as though we could have all the fix we need of these famous flavors thanks to two brand new flavors due to hit the shelves any day soon.

19-year-old Vega Blossom was recently fat-shamed by a fellow customer at her favorite bakery in Valparaiso, Indiana, and her reaction was beyond epic. The young teenager took her revenge in the best way possible, becoming a viral sensation and inspiration to all.

Vega was minding her own business, waiting her turn in line, when she had to face a very uncomfortable situation. The young girl approached the counter, planning on buying six big cupcakes in honor of the Easter holiday.

As she waited for the store worker to take her order, Vega overheard a snide remark being made from the woman standing behind her, who said to her friend, “Let’s hope this fat b**** doesn’t buy all the cupcakes.” Not even making an effort to talk quietly, Vega heard every painful word and internalized it. This merciless comment hurt her badly, but this wasn’t the first time. Ever since she can remember, Ms. Blossom had been fat-shamed and put down by strangers because of her size.

She continued, “Things like this usually wouldn’t bug me, but the fact that I didn’t know these women, and they said this so rudely and loudly – so I could obviously hear it – was different than other times. But I swallowed the hurt and thought of the best possible thing I could do back to them that wasn’t horrible, but that would teach them a lesson about respecting others. Hopefully, this was a lesson in treating others kindly, and maybe a lesson in karma as well.”

Unfortunately, Vega Blossom’s story is only a mild illustration of what overweight teenagers and adults go through when they are teased by others. Although it’s easy to throw nasty and critical comments at individuals who don’t fit the norm, most of these people don’t realize how much damage their words can cause to the person targeted. The psychological effects of bullying are detrimental to self-esteem, destroy self-worth, and can lead to depression, destructive thoughts and sometimes, even death.

She added, “I hate when people stare but I didn’t say or do anything. A couple of minutes later, she came up to me and said ‘I think your clothes are a little too small on you.’ Completely caught off guard and baffled and also hoping she didn’t say what I thought she said, I said, ‘Excuse me?’ And she said, ‘Well no offense but you’re just a bit big to wear those type of clothes.’”

“She said, ‘I’m not trying to be mean but maybe just reconsider your outfit before leaving your house from now on,'” she explained. “I was literally crying in the middle of the Christmas aisle at Kroger. I left without buying anything and sat in my car and cried. How are people so rude?” When we heard this story, we were devastated. No one should ever give their opinion on anyone else’s appearance, especially when not asked for it.

Although most are educated from a young age not to comment on someone’s weight, body-shaming is still a widespread problem. Charli expressed how upsetting it is when someone makes unsolicited comments about your body, especially random people off the street. No person has a place to give their opinion on someone’s size and it certainly doesn’t dictate what type of clothes you can and can’t wear. The only person who can decide these things is the one under the garments. So, how did Vega end up dealing with the bullying comments?

Brave Vega wasn’t going to let this woman’s evil comment about her weight slide, and boy did she teach her a lesson. When the Indianian teen posted on the internet what happened and her genius reaction, she went viral faster than you can say “cupcake.” Vega’s post has since racked up more than 66,000 likes and 23,000 Facebook shares. Although she was devastated by what that customer said behind her back, she decided to use some karma to get back at her…

Living in a small Indianapolis city with only 33,104 residents, Vega and her friends rarely witnessed anything eventful in their small town. However, that all changed when she posted something incredible on Facebook. Before becoming a viral celebrity, Vega was your average teenage Starbuck barista, living a simple high school life. Although the circumstances that brought her fame weren’t the best, she sure is glad to have had the opportunity to turn her unpleasant experience into a universal lesson on body shaming.

Vega wasn’t the only plump lady who turned into a legend. Model Whitney Thompson made history when she won the title of the first plus-size contestant to win America’s Next Top Model in 2013. During the past ten years, the show has made gradual steps towards embracing women of all shapes and sizes. Although Whitney is currently the only plus-size winner, the model has expressed on several occasions her appreciation to Tyra for finding beauty in those who are different and highlighting ideas of positive body image and self-love throughout the series.

On March 31st, after discovering that all the baked goods were on a big Easter sale, Vega paid a quick visit to Designer Desserts to pick up some special holiday sweets. Located on 56 Lincolnway in downtown Valparaiso, Designer Desserts has been Vega’s favorite bakery for years and there is a good reason for it. Owned by artist Adam Wiltfang, Designer Desserts bakes a variety of elegant, creative, and breathtaking sweet masterpieces that can make any customers’ mouth water.

This whimsical bakery specializes in wedding cakes, cupcakes, and other sweet confections limited only by your imagination. From unicorns to spaceships, if you can dream it, Designer Desserts can make it. Inside the store, you can find a delicious assortment of 110 flavors of cupcakes, cookies, cakes, pies cannolis, brownies, and decadent bar desserts. The small bakery also caters delicious goods to those who keep a gluten-free or dairy-free diet, making it a must-visit place for all.

Although Vega has been made fun of countless times before, these specific words sunk deep within her core than and were the straw that broke the camels back. The overweight teenager wasn’t under any circumstances going to let this woman and her sly sidekick walk away without getting a piece of her mind. As Vega stood at the bakery counter, she pondered how she could teach these ladies a lesson, without being too evil. What she did next was an epic moment in fat-shaming-history…

When Vega first entered the shop, she overheard the two women talking about a customer at the front of the queue. They were criticizing him for taking such a long time to finish up his cake purchase. Ms. Blossom was disturbed by their rude and inpatient attitude, and when it was her turn to be scorned, she wasn’t going to have it. After years of being taunted and criticised for her weight, Vega decided to take action and stand up for herself. So what did she do to tend to her injured self-esteem?

Instead of buying her planned six cupcakes, Vega decided that purchasing every last cupcake on the shelf would be a great way of teaching the ladies a lesson. Totaling in 20 jumbo cupcakes, she whipped out her wallet and handed the cashier $54. Although this was an unplanned expense, according to Vega, it was worth every last penny. Now the women had no cupcakes to buy and it happened just before closing time on Easter. And what happened next is even better…

Vega finished her plan of revenge by looking at the pair straight in the eyes and asking, “Could you please open the door for me? My hands are a bit full.” Reluctantly, the woman held the door for her and that’s when the brave teen said to her, “I think, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I am NOT sorry for taking all of the cupcakes.” Empowered by her own bravery, Vega shared her story on Facebook and has since become a celebrated viral sensation.

After leaving the store with her big bulk of 20 cupcakes, Vega shared her sugary spoils with her coworkers, friends, and family. Little did she know that when she’d share her story on Facebook, after the holiday, she’d become a universal hero. Following blowing up on social media, Vega’s story was reported by media outlets all over the world, including the Daily Mail in Britain, an Australian radio station, the New Zealand Herald, the Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan magazine and several local television newscasts.

People’s reactions to Vega’s story were unbelievable, but the bakery’s response by far took the cake (get it?). Designer Desserts rallied to Vega’s defense in many ways and has brought her and her Starbucks co-workers batches of sweets twice since the event. Owner Adam Wiltfang posted on his business’ Facebook page saying, “Designer Desserts-Valparaiso is a BULLY FREE ZONE and WILL NOT TOLERATE these disgusting types of attitudes. Didn’t your parents ever teach you, ‘If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all…'”

Adam continued, “Geez people, it’s a cupcake shop. … So please, if you are the one who made these remarks, unlike my page and please buy your cupcakes elsewhere, and for anyone else who feels it necessary to be so uncouth, please take your business elsewhere, as we will ask you to leave if we hear things like this. My sincere apologies go out to this beautiful young woman, and I cannot thank her enough for being such a loyal and amazing customer, we will be seeing you very soon.”

Designer Desserts uploaded additional posts to social media against bullying and has gifted Vega not only with free treats, but also cool t-shirts and tote bags. It didn’t take long for the whimsical bakery to get bombarded with calls from media outlets who wanted to hear more of Vega’s inspiring story. Aside from all the media requests, countless individuals showed interest in Vega’s story and the anti-bullying bakery where the incident took place. For weeks, the store answered hundreds of calls and took orders from customers wanting to support the cause.

“Things go viral, but I’m surprised we’ve been dragged into this as much as we have,” said manager Adam Parquette, who had to leave work that day about half an hour before the incident took place. “It’s been overwhelmingly positive. We’ve been hearing a lot from people in Valpo and surrounding communities. We’re getting calls from Canada, Australia, all over. We’ve heard from a wide array of people thanking us for having her back. … We don’t tolerate shaming…”

Many people aside from Vega have opened up about fat-shaming incidents they faced. Charli Stevens was an additional victim of the spreading epidemic of body-shaming. The middle-aged woman uploaded a Facebook post after an unpleasant shopping trip which left her in tears, saying, “I went to my local Kroger real quick this morning to buy some gift tags because I’m gonna wrap some presents today. While there, I notice this woman, who was probably in her 50s, kept staring at me…”

Wearing a size 18 dress, Vega is no stranger to judgy looks and stares. However, this particular woman at the bakery got on her last nerve. Vega shared, “When I heard the nasty things the women said, I honestly wanted to cry. It really hurt my feelings… How could these grown women be so mean to someone they’ve never met, let alone talked to? Growing up a chubbier girl, I always got snide comments about my weight from people who, for some reason, think it’s their business…”
