On first look, this candy bar is obviously named after legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, right? Yes and no. In 1921 the Curtiss Candy Company reshaped and renamed it's Kandy Kake to the Baby Ruth, claiming the name was in honor of President Grover Cleveland's deceased daughter, Ruth. However, at the same time Babe Ruth's fame was rising, leaving some to speculate that the name was a way to capitalize on his fame without paying him an endorsement deal. Whatever the case, Sloth still loves them.
