∙ 9y agoThe easy answer is the Baby Ruth bar which came out in 1921 , produced by the Curtiss Candy Co which said that it was named for Ruth Cleveland. However, there is strong indication that it was really named for Babe Ruth, the famed baseball slugger but the candy company did not want to pay the Babe for naming the bar after him.

What candy was named after a President's daughter?
The Baby Ruth dossier presents all sides of the story. According to the National Confectioner's Association, the candy bar was named for Grover Cleveland's baby daughter, Ruth -- although she died in 1904, and the candy was not manufactured until 1920, by the Curtiss Candy Company in Chicago. Another source, quoted in Tom Burnham's 1980 book, More Misinformation, suggests that the chocolate, caramel, nougat, and peanut log was first named for the granddaughter of the president of the Williamson Candy Company, where the recipe originated.Curtiss Candy gave away thousands of Baby Ruths in promotions and priced the product at five cents, half the going rate. In 1921, when children began sending their candy wrappers to ballplayer Babe Ruth for him to autograph, the Yankee slugger demanded royalties for use of his name on the best-selling product. But the business of sports endorsements was in its infancy, and the courts turned him down.Source:http://ask.yahoo.com/19990913.html
