Here’s one from the books. Since 1921, when Baby Ruth candy bars were launched, the company has denied association with the slugger, claiming it’s named for President Grover Cleveland’s daughter (nicknamed “Baby Ruth”). But when Babe launched his Babe Ruth Home Run Bar, the company did all it could to shut it down, successfully. The only place you’ll find a candy bar endorsed by the Babe today is on vintage candy bar web sites or in museums.
