message: I remember reading in one of the Imponderables books in the Letters section about a theory that the candy bar was named after Ruth Williamson, the daughter or grand-daughter of two candy makers. As you can see, I can remember little about it. :P Libertyernie2 00:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Ruth Williamson?

message: I'm helping scan some old company newsletters.  In a 1971 edition, there is a section where an employee complained about the selection of candy in the machines, specifically asking for Baby Ruth.  The company reply was that the selection was rotated and that the Planters Nut roll was stocked and that it was a rebranded Baby Ruth and both were made by Curtiss.  --Gadget850 ( Ed) 20:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The whole "resemblence to human feces" section seems to exist to talk about Caddyshack. It's largely unsourced, and of dubious value to the article as a whole. I suggest deletion of that section.Nat Gertler (talk) 01:08, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You may be right. It could be a minor case of "coat-racking". I rewrote it to present the facts and take away the teenage-level hype. But it still may be deletable. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 01:29, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What happened to the section? Its worthwhile to at least mention it was, in fact, the candy bar used in the movie. "DOOOOTIE!!!" Twebb72 (talk) 06:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I thought it was well-known that the candy wasn't really named after a baby who'd died many years before. Just something the company claimed to get around naming the candy after a real person who wasn't getting any royalties for their use of his name. 97.126.25.198 (talk) 16:23, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
