Last year, Hershey prevailed in a lawsuit that claimed Reese's featureless Halloween pumpkins were a consumer letdown. Starting this month, the spooky treats will return to store shelves, though without any changes to their smooth, oval shapes. "We know what consumers love," said Katie DeCapria, senior brand manager for Halloween at Hershey, in a press conference about the candy company's fall lineup. "We have not made any changes to the Reese's shapes.""The pumpkin is the cornerstone of our portfolio," she added.
