General consensus seems to be that the Baby Ruth candy bar is named after George Herman "Babe" Ruth. The Bambino himself certainly seemed to think so. But we don't know for sure.
During legal proceedings the Curtiss Candy Company claimed it was named after Grover Cleveland's daughter, "Baby" Ruth, who had visited their factory. Except Curtiss wasn't founded until 1916, and Ruth Cleveland died of diptheria in 1904.
Another theory is that the candy bar was named after employee George Williamson's newborn daughter. Except George didn't work for Curtiss. He was, appropriately enough, the owner of the Williamson Candy Co., makers of the Oh Henry! bar.
The truth is that in 1921 there were lots of "Baby Ruths" out there: actors, foundlings, dolls, a roller-skating pony, and more. Curtiss just grabbed a name out of the zeitgeist and slapped it on a 5 cent milk nut roll.

Writing in recent posts about the namesakes of peach melba and chicken tetrazinni got me to thinking about another food that was named after a celebrity, but which celebrity I cannot say for sure. I refer to Baby Ruth, the candy bar—and a particular favorite of mine.
For many years, I was under the impression that the Baby Ruth candy bar was named after Ruth Cleveland, the daughter of Grover and…

Thinking about chocolate for #Valentines Day? It might have traveled by rail. In 1927, the Central of Georgia Railway helped the Curtiss Candy Company deliver chocolate across the South. Six years earlier, the company introduced the Baby Ruth. The five-cent, chocolate-covered caramel and peanut bar—in its distinctive red and white wrapper—quickly became a sales success. By 1928, it was the top-selling candy bar in the country. The company’s advertisement from the same year called the Baby Ruth “America’s favorite candy.” Thirty-two trainloads of Baby Ruth bars were shipped in 60 days from Curtiss Candy headquarters in Chicago. The Central of Georgia hauled cars headed to the South. One special 10-car train carried 2,174,000 candy bars, at the time “the largest single shipment of confectionery ever made to southern points in the United States.” Then and now, railroads deliver for American industry and consumers. Today, Norfolk Southern provides premium shipping service and reliable #logistics solutions for customers. In combination with business partnerships and connections with other carriers, NS ships every product imaginable to and from any destination, linking communities and customers to the marketplaces of the world. #transportation #ValentinesDay https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j-8cPn_s9/?igshid=rme6vc3sjsf0

Babe Ruth vs Baby Ruth: la historia que nadie conoce
Babe Ruth vs Baby Ruth: la historia que nadie conoce
Tanto si eres fanático del béisbol como si no lo eres, seguro que al menos has escuchado mencionar un chocolate de nombre “Baby Ruth” y lo has asociado al icónico jugador de los Yankees Babe Ruth.
Sin embargo, nada tienen que ver los nombres (bueno, al menos eso dice la empresa que producía la golosina), pero sí que los entrelaza una historia de lo más interesante que hoy en Con Las Bases Llenash…

Curtiss Candy Company, Chicago.
The Curtiss Candy Company was founded in 1916 by Otto Schnering near Chicago, Illinois. Wanting a more "American sounding" name (as German surnames were not an asset during World War I), Schnering named his company using his mother's maiden name.
Their first confectionery item was Kandy Kake, later refashioned in 1921 as the log-shaped Baby Ruth. Their second confectionery item was the chocolate-covered peanut butter crunch Butterfinger. In 1931 Curtiss marketed the brand by sponsoring famous air racer, John H. Livingston, in the Baby Ruth Aerobatic Team flying the air-racer Howard "Mike" at airshows, and sponsoring Livingston's Monocoupe racer in the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race.
In 1964, Standard Brands purchased Curtiss Candy Company. Standard Brands merged with Nabisco in 1981. In 1990, RJR Nabisco sold the Curtiss brands to Nestlé.
