Which president had the Babe Ruth candy bar which is still made today was named after his president's daughter not the famous baseball star Babe Ruth?
The Company that first produced the candy bar claimed it was named after Ruth Clevland but it's been heavily speculated that it was a way to capitalize on Babe Ruth's popularity without compensating him. The candy bar came out in 1921 when Ruth was probably the biggest celebrity in America and 15 years after Ruth Clevland had died. Ruth took legal action against the company to try to get compensation but lost. In the 90's Ruth's estate and Nestle actually made an agreement to use Ruth in their marketing.
Babe Ruth
Answer:
There is no candy bar named after Babe Ruth. The official story is that the "Baby Ruth" is named after Grover Cleveland's daughter Ruth.
However, like all good stories, alternate suggestions exist exist:
- The bar is (unofficially) tied to Babe Ruth the famous ballplayer. The bar first appeared in 1921, as Babe Ruth came to the public's attention but the company failed to negotiate an endorsement deal with Ruth.
- The bar wasn't named after Ruth Cleveland as her father was out of office and she was 17 years dead when it was released.
- The candy bar was named after the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Williamson, candy makers who developed candy recipe
Grover Cleveland had a daughter named Ruth who died at age 12. The company that makes the Baby Ruth candy bar claims that she was the inspiration for the name, but that is likely to be an urban legend.
