Candy Sports
What candy bars have been named after sports figures?
The obvious is Baby Ruth. What are the others?
The makers of the Baby Ruth claim they named their candy bar after the daughter of President Grover Cleveland, Ruth Cleveland. The candy debuted in 1920, during the rise of Babe Ruth’s career and long after Cleveland left the white house and 16 years after his daughter died. Many speculate the company just didn’t want to pay royalties to the baseball player.
An extinct candy bar – The Reggie Bar – Reggie Jackson
Snickers was named after a horse, does that count?
Oh Henry! bars were not named after a sport figure but used to be thrown onto the baseball field after Montreal Expo Henry Rodriguez hit home runs. Some say this bar was for Hank (Henry) Aaron, but was invented in 1920.
That’s all I can think of.
