Neccos are a New England tradition -- we *like* chalky dry things here, it's part of our character.
I did. I agree.^^ You didn't read far enough into the thread then to see my comment about it being just like that.

The chocolate chip cookie was accidentally developed by Ruth Graves Wakefield in 1930. She owned the Toll House Inn, in Whitman, Massachusetts, a very popular restaurant that featured home cooking in the 1930s. Her cookbook, Toll House Tried and True Recipes, was published in 1936 by M. Barrows & Company, New York. It included the recipe "Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookie", which rapidly became a favorite to be baked in American homes.
Also I did not see Jack-in-the-box on the list, I may of over looked it.
Jack in the box was carmalized pop corn, horrible for a youths teeth however each box contained a great little toy. I believe those little toys are great collectibles today.
Hi GIDo you mean Cracker Jacks? I still have a red plastic bookmark with Jack and his dog on it. Now all they put is paper crap in it and call it a prize. I remember watching the Food Network's show "Unwrapped" when they did an episode on Cracker Jack's. The PR guy for the company said the cheapola prizes are "just results in trends that American youth want today." Ummm, no, more like cost saving measures, pal.
This is a thread about candy, not sidewalk chalk.
Hasn't anyone corrected the original poster by now?
BABY Ruth not BABE..
There is nothing, anywhere, any time, any way that's better or more satisfying than a frozen Milky Way bar. All the gourmet artisanal hand-crafted Chocolat in the world can't compare. I often eat them for breakfast, just because I can.
Ahhh that's one story... but the candy very conveniently appeared on the market just as George Herman Ruth was becoming nationally famous.Also, the candy bar Baby Ruth has nothing to do with Babe Ruth, the baseball giant. The name Baby Ruth was named for the owners daughter, Or maybe it was granddaughter, can't remember which
