How did the candy bar whatchamacallit get its name?

Answer 1

I named the Whatchamacallit candy bar, but unfortunately I can not prove that… but here is my story. I was working a store that sold Hershey's products. One day the sales person came in and off the cuff asked me if I were to name a candy bar, what would I call it. I had just been joking with a customer about going into a hardware store and asking for a "Whatchamacallit" because I could not remember its name - so I told him a "Whatchamacallit" and gave my reasons. A while later he came in and told me they were test marketing my candy bar in a certain area and if it did well they would market it. It was not long before he came in and presented me with a case of candy bars to which he proclaimed "Congratulations, here is your candy bar." I have contacted Hershey's with dates and places just to confirm my story - nothing more… but they wrote me back and said they had no idea of where the name came from. I always had figured it was a contest with the sales reps where they would submit a name and my rep just happened to like what I had said. This is my story - I so wish I could prove it… but I have no doubt that I was responsible for the name.
