Name:

Baby Ruth Chocolate Bar

Baby Ruth is a candy bar that is made of chocolate-covered peanuts and nougat, though the nougat found in it is more like fudge than is found in many other American candy bars. The bar was a staple of Chicago-based Curtiss Candy Company for some seven decades. After a series of mergers and acquisitions, the candy bar is currently produced by Nestlé.

What's in a Name?
Although the name of the candy bar sounds nearly identical to the name of the famous baseball player, Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company has traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland.

Nonetheless, the bar first appeared in 1920, as Babe Ruth's fame was on the rise and long after Cleveland had left the White House and 16 years after his daughter had died.

Moreover, the company had failed to negotiate an endorsement deal with Ruth, and many saw the company's story about the origin of the name of the bar as merely a way to avoid having to pay the baseball player any royalties. Ironically, Curtiss successfully shut down a rival bar that was approved by, and named for, Ruth, on the grounds that the names were too similar in the case of George H. Ruth Candy Co. v. Curtiss Candy Co, 49 F.2d 1033 (1931).

Trivia: Being a marketing genius, 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.

Battenburg Cookies & Cakes

Of of, if not THE, quintessential British teatime cakes and a real favourite.

Battenberg cake (also: Battenburg cake, Window cake) is a light sponge cake which, when cut in cross section, displays a distinctive two-by-two check pattern alternately coloured pink and yellow. The cake is covered in marzipan and, when sliced, the characteristic checks are exposed to view. These coloured sections are made by dying half of the cake mixture pink, and half yellow, then cutting each resultant sponge into two long, uniform cuboids, and joining them together with apricot jam, to form one cake.

The origin of the name is not clear, but one theory claims that the cake was created in honour of the marriage in 1884 of Queen Victoria's granddaughter to Prince Louis of Battenberg. The four squares of the cake are said to represent the four Battenberg princes.

Battenburg markings are high-visibility yellow and blue/green/red/black fluorescent chequered vinyl squares, affixed in recent times (since 2001 or so) to the sides of Emergency service vehicles in the United Kingdom in order to make them more visible on the roads. Typical colours of some UK emergency services' battenburg markings: Blue and Yellow - Police; Green and Yellow - Ambulance/Paramedics; Red and Yellow - Fire Brigade; Light red and Yellow - National Blood Service; Red and Blue - Railway Response (Network Rail); Green and Blue - HM Revenue and Customs

Name:

Bazooka Gum

It was after World War II ended that Topps developed its Bazooka Bubble Gum product in Brooklyn, New York. It was named after the humorous musical instrument which entertainer Bob Burns had fashioned from two gas pipes and a funnel in the 1930s. (This contraption also gave its name to the armor-piercing weapon developed during the War.)

Bazooka, with its distinctive name, taste, and red, white and blue logo and packaging, soon became a familiar part of Americana. As a matter of fact, a psychological study of tastes and smells that bring back memories found that one of the most frequently identified items was Bazooka Bubble Gum.

Bazooka is also famous for the popular series of Bazooka Joe comics, first introduced in 1953 to add extra interest for youngsters. Topps has developed more than 700 comics over the years.

As popular today as it ever was.

It was created by baseball players Rob Nelson and Jim Bouton as an alternative to the tobacco-chewing habit common among ballplayers.

Although claiming to be chosen by professional players, the cartoonish brand—packaged in flashy colors such as neon green—is clearly marketed to children as well. Despite this, LeBron James was reportedly a devoted user of the gum before signing an endorsement deal with Bubblicious.

In addition to the original bubble gum flavor, it comes in cotton candy, grape, strawberry, watermelon, sour cherry, and sour apple flavors.

It is produced by Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in Chicago, USA.
