Baby Ruth Candy Bars
The Curious NameMost people just assume that the bar is named after Babe Ruth.
But the Curtiss Candy Company has traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland.
The candy bar was first introduced in 1921. The idea that it would be named after the daughter of a former President who died 17 years earlier in 1904 is absurd. Add to this the fact that the most famous person in America at the time was Babe Ruth and it seems even more ridiculous.
What seems more likely is that the Curtiss Candy Company either tried to get permission from Ruth or didn't want to pay for the rights and changed the name and the "official story".
Other Trivia
Company founder Otto Schnering chartered a plane in 1923 to drop thousands of Baby Ruth bars over the city of Pittsburgh -- each with its own mini parachute.
The Baby Ruth is the candy bar used in one of the funniest scene in one of the funniest movies of all time, Caddyshack. I won't ruin it, if you haven't seen it. If you haven't seen it --- DO SO!
