the baby Ruth bar wasnt named after the legendary baseball player babe Ruth but president Cleveland's daughter Ruth Cleveland who died 16 years before the candy was invented
There was, briefly, a candy bar named the "Reggie Bar" named after Reggie Jackson. The Baby Ruth was NOT named after Babe Ruth.
Reggie Jackson and the Reggie Bar in 1976. ostensibly Babe Ruth has been credited for the Baby Ruth (which is still under debate), but for sure Reggie Jackson had "The Reggie Bar" named after him and it was a flop!
Baby Ruth? I think! The candy bar company insisted that babe Ruth was named after grover Cleveland daughter Ruth soo the answer to your question would be Ruth Cleveland..=]
1922
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.
The candy Baby Ruth was invented by the Curtis Candy company, before it was known as the kandy kake, now it's known as a Baby Ruth in 1921.
Ruth Cleveland , daughter of President Cleveland was claimed by the Curtiss Candy Company to be the namesake of the Baby Ruth candy bar. However, the bar came out in 1921 when Babe Ruth was making news for his baseball heroics and Baby Ruth Cleveland was dead and nearly forgotten.
