How did Baby Ruth candy get its name?

Answer 1

It was a product of the Curtiss Candy Company. It was first produced in 1921.

Where it got it's name is uncertain. Some people think it was named after Babe Ruth, the famed Baseball champion. Others think it was named after baby Ruth Cleveland, whose father was U.S. president at the time.

Answer 2

Officially the candy bar was named for President Grover Cleveland's daughter. However, it was introduced in 1921 when 'The Babe' was gaining fame, 30 years after Cleveland left the White House and 17 years after Ruth Cleveland died.

Answer 3

It was supposedly named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland, but it is suspected that it was really named after Babe Ruth, but that was said so that the candy company would not have to pay any royalties.

"Suspected" may be too weak a word. At the time the candy bar was renamed (it was originally called "Kandy Kake"), Ruth Cleveland had been dead for nearly 20 years and Grover Cleveland was not exactly burning up the news either, having left office 30 years previously. In marked contrast, the year previous to the renaming George Herman "Babe" Ruth had batted .347 and hit 54 home runs.
