Lemonhead

**Lemonhead** is an American brand of candy, first introduced in 1962, produced by the Ferrara Candy Company. Lemonheads are a round, lemon-flavored candy consisting of a sweet coating, soft sour shell, and a hard candy core. Popular varieties are Grapeheads, Cherryheads and Appleheads.

Inspiration for the Lemonhead name came from Salvatore Ferrara seeing his grandson, Salvatore II, the third generation, after delivery. Salvatore II was a forceps baby and he noted that his new grandson's head was lemon-shaped. The candy was born out of the same cold panned process as the company's Red Hots in 1962. In this process, layer after layer of sugar and flavors are added until the candy reaches the desired shape and size . They are most commonly sold in their standard 1 centimeter size, but are also produced in a single-sale 3 cm version. Lemonhead candies are gluten and fat-free. Ferrara now makes 500 million Lemonheads per year.

Some time between the 1980s and late 1990s, Ferrara Pan brought all of their fruit-flavored candies under a consistent naming convention: Lemonheads, Grapeheads (formerly Alexander the Grape), Cherryheads (formerly Cherry Chan/Cherry Clan) and Appleheads (formerly Johnny Apple Treats).

## Other candies under the same brand

* Grapeheads (Formerly Alexander the Grape)
* Cherryheads (Formerly Cherry Clan)
* Appleheads (Formerly Johnny Apple Treats)
* Chewy Lemonheads and Friends (including Lemonheads, Grapeheads, Cherryheads, Appleheads, and Orangeheads)
* Chewy Lemonheads Tropical
* Chewy Lemonheads Fruit Mix
* Chewy Lemonhead Flavor Fuser
* Lemonhead Gummies

## Commercial success

Lemonhead candies have been commercially successful since their inception. Lemonheads and other sour candy can also be attributed an increase in growth in non-chocolate confectioners’ sales as opposed to chocolate companies’ sales in the 2015 fiscal year. CEO of Ferrara Candy, Todd Siwak, said, “We are seeing a desire in millenials for cherry gummy candy, especially with sour, sweet, and intense flavors”.

## Controversy

### 2014 Rebrand

In 2014 it was reported that Lemonhead candies were undergoing a rebrand that included updated packaging and a new mascot. While the company's marketing department said the mascot would be losing his little boy image, the mascot came under heavy scrutiny for supposedly appearing “creepy” and for lacking appropriate social media savvy . The public largely agreed and the new mascot became the subject of ridicule across popular social media platforms.

### Lawsuit

Ferrara Candy Company came under fire in 2017 because of their Lemonheads due to the opaque packaging. A lawsuit was filed claiming that customers had been deceived into believing there was more product in the boxes than there actually were because of the packaging. The Ferrara Candy Company settled for $2.5 million with the plaintiff and agreed to provide cash payment for those who were impacted and to modify quality control procedure.
Coffee Crisp

**Coffee Crisp** is a chocolate bar made in Canada. It consists of alternating layers of vanilla wafer and a foamed coffee-flavoured soft candy, covered with a milk chocolate outer layer. It is marketed by Nestlé.

## History

The bar originated in the United Kingdom in the 1930s as a chocolate bar named Rowntree's Wafer Crisp. This was at a later point renamed "Chocolate Crisp". The bar was later introduced to Canadians as Biscrisp. In 1938, a coffee variation (Coffee Crisp) was added to the line of flavoured Biscrisps (which included fruit flavours). In 1988, Nestle acquired Rowntree's including its Canadian operation and the Toronto chocolate factory where the bar is produced. As of 2014 the product is marketed by Nestlé Canada.

## Other versions

In 2001, the first variation of the Coffee Crisp brand was introduced, a limited edition "Coffee Crisp Orange" flavour. A limited amount of the orange flavour was reissued in 2002. That same year, a limited edition "Coffee Crisp Raspberry" flavour was released. "Coffee Crisp Café Caramel" was sold in the summer of 2004 and again in the summer of 2006. A limited edition "Coffee Crisp White" was launched in the autumn that same year. A limited edition maple flavoured bar was available from April to September 2005.

For much of the 2000s, Coffee Crisp was available in "French Vanilla" and "Triple Mocha" flavours. In 2005, the coffee bean shaped "Coffee Crisp Beans" were introduced. The most recent bar form was Coffee Crisp Yogurt.

In January 2007, all variations of Coffee Crisp bars other than the original were discontinued.

Coffee Crisp 70% dark chocolate was introduced in 2009. Some time between 2008 and 2010, French Vanilla and Chocolatey Crunch variations were made available. In 2014, Coffee Crisp Latte was released in celebration of Coffee Crisp's 75th anniversary.

A Coffee Crisp-flavoured ice cream bar and ice cream flavour are also available.

## Outside of Canada

Canadian expatriates have long lamented the bar's relative unavailability outside Canada. Coffee Crisp is available in Australia at some specialised sweet shops, and unofficial exports of Coffee Crisp treats (originally labelled for the Canadian market) to the U.S. have also taken place, particularly in shops near the Canada–United States border.

There was a petition at coffeecrisp.org asking Nestlé to market the Coffee Crisp in all U.S. cities. According to the site, the petition succeeded, and Nestlé began marketing the Coffee Crisp nationwide in late July 2006. In April 2009, the marketing of the Coffee Crisp bar into the U.S. was discontinued by Nestlé Canada.[*citation needed*] In May 2009 Coffee Crisp was being exported into the U.S. market by British Wholesale Imports.

At the Canadian section of Epcot at Walt Disney World, there's a shop that sells Coffee Crisp bars.
Hershey's Special Dark

**Hershey's Special Dark** is a chocolate bar manufactured by The Hershey Company.

Special Dark is similar to a standard Hershey bar, but is made with a dark (or semi-sweet) variety of chocolate, and contains a higher percentage (45%) of cocoa solids, chocolate liquor and cocoa butter than milk chocolate. The Special Dark bar replaced the similar, if not identical, *Hershey's Semi-Sweet* bar in the company's product lineup in the early 1970s.

Hershey's Special Dark is available in a variety of sizes. There are also Special Dark versions of Hershey's Kisses, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, baking chocolate, cocoa, and Hershey's Nuggets.

## Miniatures

Hershey's Special Dark is a component of the traditional Hershey's Miniatures assortment first sold in 1939, when the Special Dark was called Semi-Sweet.

In 2006, Hershey's began selling *Hershey's Special Dark Miniatures*, which included the plain Special Dark bar, along with dark bars with peanuts (similar to a Mr. Goodbar) and with crisped rice (similar to a Krackel).

## Hershey's Extra Dark

**Hershey's Extra Dark** is a product very similar to the Special Dark. The three varieties are solid chocolate; chocolate with macadamia nuts and dried cranberries; and chocolate with cranberries, blueberries, pomegranate, and almonds. Hershey's marketing emphasizes the antioxidant qualities of these bars' ingredients. Additionally, Hershey's Extra Dark contains 60% cocoa solids, while Hershey's Special Dark contains 45% cocoa solids.
Reese's Sticks

**Reese's Sticks**, formerly called "ReeseSticks," are wafers filled with peanut butter and covered in milk chocolate. First introduced in 1998, they are manufactured by The Hershey Company. They are sold in pairs, similar to Twix and two finger Kit Kat bars.

The fact that ReeseSticks digressed from the normal Reese's naming pattern was pointed out by Paul Lukas in his zine *Beer Frame*. As Lukas noted, even though the official name was ReeseSticks, most people he casually surveyed pronounced it unknowingly as *Reese's Sticks*. In 2009, Hershey's changed the name officially to *Reese's Sticks*.

They highly resemble Nutty Bars by McKee Foods.

They are banned in Norway because of the use of genetically modified additives.

Laffy Taffy

**Laffy Taffy** is a brand of taffy candies produced by the Ferrara Candy Company, a subsidiary of Ferrero. The candies are small (about 45 grams (1.6 oz)), individually wrapped taffy squares available in a variety of colors and artificial fruit flavors, including banana, strawberry, green apple, grape, blueberry, watermelon, blue raspberry, and cherry. Rarer flavors include caramel apple, coconut, strawberries & cream, apple crisp, chocolate mousse, pumpkin donut, pineapple, guava, orange sorbet, and lemon raspberry. Discontinued flavors include fruit punch, mango, strawberry banana, peppermint oil, and hot cocoa.

The name "Laffy Taffy" refers to both the texture of the taffy as well as its embodiment of silliness: short, question-and-answer-style jokes are printed on the outside of each wrapper, such as "What do you call a cow with no legs? – Ground beef." Some jokes are pun-based, such as "What is Labor Day? – That's when mommies have their babies." Others are based on silly word play, such as "What's an owl's favorite subject? – Owlgebra." These jokes are usually sent in by children who are credited on the wrapper.

The brand was first produced in the 1970s by Kathryn Beich Candies of Bloomington Illinois as "Beich's [Name of Flavor] Caramels", though these were not in fact caramels but fruit-flavored taffy squares. The Beichs later changed the name of the product to "Beich's Laffy Taffy", which occurred some years prior to the acquisition of the distribution rights and the eventual purchase of the product line by Nestlé in 1984. Laffy Taffy was originally advertised as having a "long-lasting" flavor. Though it used to come in thick, square-shaped pieces, it is now sold in thinner, rectangular pieces. In 2003, the Willy Wonka brand introduced a variety called "Flavor Flippers", with each piece of taffy having an outer layer of one flavor and a soft center of a different flavor.

In January 2018, Nestlé announced plans to sell its U.S. confectionery brands, including Laffy Taffy, to Italian chocolatier Ferrero SpA, maker of Nutella, for $2.8 billion. Ferrero folded the acquired brands into the operations of the Ferrara Candy Company and will increase investment in

Gummy Bears

**Gummy bears** (German: *Gummibär*) are small, fruit gum candies, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 cm (0.8 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummy bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies sold in a variety of shapes and colors.

## History

The gummy bear originated in Germany, where it is popular under the name *Gummibär* (gum or gummy bear), or in the endearing form *Gummibärchen* (help·info) ([little] gum or gummy bear). Gum arabic was the original base ingredient used to produce the gummy bears, hence the name *gum* or *gummy*. Hans Riegel, Sr., a confectioner from Bonn, started the Haribo company in 1920. In 1922, inspired by the trained bears seen at street festivities and markets in Europe through to the 19th century, he invented the Dancing Bear (*Tanzbär*), a small, affordable, fruit-flavored gum candy treat for children and adults alike, which was much larger in form than its later successor, the Gold-Bear (*Goldbär*). Even during Weimar Germany's hyperinflation period that wreaked havoc on the country, Haribo's fruit-gum Dancing Bear treats remained affordably priced for a mere 1 Pfennig, in pairs, at kiosks. The success of the Dancing Bear's successor would later become Haribo's world-famous Gold-Bears candy product in 1967.

## Variations and flavors

The success of gummi bears has spawned the production of many other gummy candies that look like animals and other objects: rings, worms, frogs, snakes, hamburgers, cherries, sharks, penguins, hippos, lobsters, octopuses, apples, peaches, oranges, and even *Ampelmännchen*, Smurfs, and spiders. Manufacturers offer sizes from the standard candy size, and smaller, to bears that weigh several kilograms.

In the United States, Haribo gummy bears are sold in five flavors: raspberry (red); orange (orange); strawberry (green); pineapple (colorless); and lemon (yellow). Trolli's bears are similarly most often sold in five flavors in the United States, and in the same colors; however, Trolli's red bear is strawberry-flavored, while the green is lime and the colorless is grape. Many companies emulate either Haribo or Trolli flavor-color combinations. Health-oriented brands, which often use all-natural flavors, sometimes opt for more and different flavors. For example, the boxed bulk gummis sold by Sunflower/Newflower Markets include grape, pineapple-coconut, and peach, among others.
Warheads

**Warheads** is a brand of sour/tart candy manufactured by Impact Confections, a company located in Janesville, Wisconsin. They are marketed as an 'extreme' candy with an intense sour flavor. They have proven to be very popular, especially with young children; in 1999, Warheads were referred to as a "$40 million brand" (USD).

The candy was invented in Taiwan in 1975 and was first imported to the United States in 1993 by The Foreign Candy Company of Hull, Iowa. Impact Confections acquired the brand in 2004. They are currently manufactured and distributed in the United States by Impact Confections and in Australia by Universal Candy.

## In culture

The name "Warheads" comes from the notion that the sour taste of the candies is akin to a real warhead going off in one's mouth, and the brand's mascot, Wally Warheads, is depicted as a boy with puckered lips and a small mushroom cloud emanating from the top of his head. Their 'extreme' sour flavor can produce visibly strong reactions from people experiencing them for the first time. The ingredient, malic acid, is what gives the sour candy its unique sour taste.

A driving force behind the candy's early popularity were informal competitions among schoolchildren to determine who could withstand eating the largest number of Warheads at once.

## Chemistry

Warheads Extreme Sour Hard Candy derive their strong sour flavor primarily from malic acid, which is applied as a coating to the outside of the small, hard candies. The intense sour flavor fades after about 5 to 10 seconds, leaving a fairly mild candy that contains the much less sour and more flavorful ascorbic and citric acids.

The pH levels of some Warheads products are lower when compared to other sour candies. Warheads Sour Spray was shown to have a pH level of 1.6 (similar to some rust removers). Candies with high acidity (low pH) can accelerate the erosion of tooth enamel.

Warheads packaging includes this warning: "Eating multiple pieces within a short time period may cause a temporary irritation to sensitive tongues and mouths".

## Varieties and flavors

Warheads hard candies are available in five flavors: blue raspberry, lemon, green apple, black cherry and watermelon. Five additional hard candy flavors are sold in the "Smashups Extreme Sour" assortment: cherry-lime, orange-pineapple, mango-melon, lemon-berry and strawberry-grape.

In addition to the Warheads Extreme Sour Hard Candy, the Warheads brand encompasses several other types of candy: Warheads Extreme Sour Hard Candy Mini Size (previously known as "Juniors"), Warheads SuperSour Spray, Warheads Sour Jelly, Warheads SuperSour DoubleDrops, Warheads Sour Chewy Cubes, Warheads Sour Dippers, Warheads Sour Coolers, and Warheads Sour Twists. For a while, special "hot" versions of the candy were also available, but proved to be less popular. The Warheads brand also distributed a fizzy version of their signature Warheads for a time.
Just kidding Chris is a dumbass.
Kinder Joy

**Kinder Joy** (known also as **Kinder Merendero** in Italy) is a candy made by Italian confectionery company Ferrero as part of its Kinder brand of products. It has plastic egg-shaped packaging that splits into two; one half contains layers of cocoa and milk cream, and the other half contains a toy. Kinder Joy was launched in Italy in 2001 and as of 2014 was sold in more than 100 countries.

## Overview

Kinder Joy is a brand within the Kinder line of chocolate products sold by Ferrero. It has a plastic egg-shaped package with a tab to open it into two halves. One sealed half contains layers of cocoa and milk-flavoured creams topped with two cocoa wafer spheres, to be eaten with an included spoon. The other half contains a toy. As of 2015, Kinder Joy is produced in Poland, India, South Africa, Ecuador, Cameroon, and China. First ingredient is sugar, second is palm oil.

## History

Ferrero launched Kinder Joy in Italy in 2001. It has been sold in Spain since 2004, in Germany since May 2006 and in China and India since 2007. It was launched in Australia and the United States in 2018.

In 2011, Ferrero opened a factory in Baramati, India, to make the eggs, in addition to other products including Tic Tacs. In 2015, the company opened its first factory in China in the Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou, which produced Kinder Joy as its first manufacturing line. As of September 2015 Kinder Joy was one of the highest selling candy products in the Chinese market and had received Nielsen China’s Breakthrough Innovation Award.

Kinder Joy became available in Ireland in 2015. In November 2015, Ferrero announced that it would sell the eggs in the United Kingdom, starting in December 2015.

In May 2017, it was announced that Kinder Joy would be launched in the United States in 2018; Kinder Surprise is banned in the U.S. by a federal law: Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which bans all food products that contain non-nutritive objects embedded within them.
SweeTarts

**SweeTarts** are sweet and sour candies invented under the direction of Menlo F. Smith, CEO of Sunline Inc., in 1962. The candy was created using the same basic recipe as the already popular Pixy Stix and Lik-M-Aid products in order to broaden the market for the tangy taste sensation. In 1963, SweeTarts were introduced with the same flavors as the popular Pixy Stix: cherry, grape, lemon, lime, and orange. In 1966 a candy coated version of SweeTarts was introduced with the brand name Spree. Taffy products are also produced with the SweeTarts brand.

Sunline, Inc., became a division of the Sunmark of St Louis' group of companies, which was later acquired in 1986 by Rowntree Mackintosh of the United Kingdom, which was, in turn, taken over by Nestlé. The Willy Wonka brand candies were developed by Sunmark in a joint-venture with The Quaker Company. Sunmark eventually acquired the rights to Willy Wonka and established a division with that name which produced the Willy Wonka brands. The Wonka symbol was subsequently applied to most all Sunmark brands. Nestlé has since sold its confectionery businesses to Ferrero SpA.

## Related products

SweeTarts also come in a variety of other products including gum, little Sweet Tarts (often packaged to be handed out as Halloween trick-or-treat candy), SweeTart "hearts" for Valentine's Day, "chicks, ducks and bunnies" shaped Sweet Tarts for Easter and SweeTarts Jelly Beans (marketed for Easter in some regions of the US), "skulls and bones" for Halloween, and Giant Chewy Sweet Tarts, which are a larger, chewier variant of SweeTarts that come four to a package, and are the size of a silver dollar and ¼ inch thick. The Giant Chewy SweeTarts have also retained the orange flavour discontinued in the standard SweeTarts products, as have the Mini Chewy SweeTarts variety. SweeTarts Soft & Chewy Ropes are available in Cherry Punch flavor, and were originally named Kazoozles.

## All flavors

* Pink: Cherry
* Purple: Grape
* Blue: Blue Punch
* Orange: Orange (retired as of 2013)
* Green: Green Apple (lime before 2002)
* Yellow: Lemon

In 2002, Nestlé replaced the original lime with green apple. In 2009, Nestlé stopped making lemon (yellow), but put it back into the lineup of flavors in 2013. The current flavors in the SweeTarts roll are: blue punch (blue), cherry (pink), grape (purple), lemon (yellow) and green apple (green). Retired flavors include lime (the former flavor for green) and orange.
Runts

**Runts** are crunchy candies sold by Nestlé. First seen on the market in 1982, the candies are in the shape, color, and flavor of a selection of fruits. Runts have a hard candy shell with a compressed dextrose center (similar to the consistency of SweeTarts).

## Flavor changes

Since its introduction, Runts has offered four flavor assortments.

* In 1982, Runts were introduced with banana, cherry, strawberry, orange, and lime.
* In the late 1990s, watermelon and blue raspberry were added. Lime was discontinued.
* In 2007, the flavor assortment was changed to a more tropical-themed array. Pineapple and mango were introduced. Watermelon, blue raspberry, and cherry were all discontinued.
* In 2009, green apple and grape were added to the mix. Pineapple and mango were removed. Green apple reused the cherry shape, and grape reused the mango shape.

## Varieties

A chewy version of Runts known as **Chewy Runts** was previously available, including the same mix of fruits as the original crunchy runts. Chewy Runts were discontinued in 2014.

A seasonal product named **Runts Freckled Eggs** was released each year for Easter. The candy pieces were not shaped like fruits as in every other Runts mix. Instead, they were all shaped like eggs. Freckled eggs were available in large bags and smaller single-serve boxes with a built-in handle.

In the 1990s, a variation known as **Tropical Runts** was available. The pineapple and mango Runts originated in this candy.

A similar variant, **Rock'n Runts** existed in the 1990s, containing watermelon, grape, pineapple, lemon, and raspberry.

## Other changes

Originally, Runts had colorful centers that matched the color of the outer shell. The colorful centers have since been discontinued, as current Runts contain a white center.

## Ingredients and nutrition information

Ingredients: dextrose, maltodextrin, and less than 2% of corn syrup, malic acid, calcium stearate, carnauba wax, artificial flavors, color added (red 40 lake, yellow 5, yellow 5 lake, yellow 6).

Chocolate

**Chocolate** is a preparation of roasted and ground cacao seeds that is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, which may also be used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods. The earliest signs of use are associated with Olmec sites (within what would become Mexico’s post-colonial territory) suggesting consumption of chocolate beverages, dating from 19 centuries BCE. The majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs. The word *chocolate* is derived from the Spanish word *chocolate*, deriving in turn from the Classical Nahuatl word *xocolātl*.

The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor. After fermentation, the beans are dried, cleaned, and roasted. The shell is removed to produce cacao nibs, which are then ground to cocoa mass, unadulterated chocolate in rough form. Once the cocoa mass is liquefied by heating, it is called chocolate liquor. The liquor may also be cooled and processed into its two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Baking chocolate, also called bitter chocolate, contains cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions, without any added sugar. Powdered baking cocoa, which contains more fiber than cocoa butter, can be processed with alkali to produce dutch cocoa. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter or added vegetable oils, and sugar. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk, but no cocoa solids.

Chocolate is one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world, and many foodstuffs involving chocolate exist, particularly desserts, including cakes, pudding, mousse, chocolate brownies, and chocolate chip cookies. Many candies are filled with or coated with sweetened chocolate. Chocolate bars, either made of solid chocolate or other ingredients coated in chocolate, are eaten as snacks. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes (such as eggs, hearts, coins) are traditional on certain Western holidays, including Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, and Hanukkah. Chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages, such as chocolate milk and hot chocolate, and in some alcoholic drinks, such as creme de cacao.

Although cocoa originated in the Americas, West African countries, particularly Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, are the leading producers of cocoa in the 21st century, accounting for some 60% of the world cocoa supply.

With some two million children involved in the farming of cocoa in West Africa, child slavery and trafficking were major concerns in 2018. International attempts to improve conditions for children were failing because of persistent poverty, absence of schools, increasing world cocoa demand, more intensive farming of cocoa, and continued exploitation of child labor.
Gumdrop

**Gumdrops** are a type of candy. They are brightly colored pectin-based pieces, shaped like a narrow dome (sometimes with a flattened top), often coated in granulated sugar and having fruit and spice flavors; the latter are also known as **spice drops**.

## History

Gumdrops first appeared in the 19th century United States, purportedly as early as 1801, although at that time they likely referred to small, hard sweets also derived from fruit gelatin. The name "gumdrop" is not found in print until 1859, appearing in an advertisement published by the Decatur, IL *Illinois State Chronicle* for a candy shop owned by a George Julier. By that time, a gelatin-based, rubbery candy akin to modern gummies went by the *gumdrop* name, but also a pastier candy with a potato starch base.

One of the oldest types of gumdrops still produced are "spice" gumdrops, using traditional spices including clove, anise, allspice, spearmint, cinnamon, and wintergreen for flavoring.

## Usage

Gumdrops, spice drops, and their variations are used in baking, candy crafting, decorating—as with cakes and cupcakes. Around Christmas, they are used in decorating gingerbread houses and other confections.

## In popular culture

The Apollo 9 Command module was nicknamed "Gumdrop".

The board game *Candy Land* includes a "Gumdrop Pass" and "Gumdrop Mountain".

The use of the expression "goody gumdrops" as an alliterative exclamation of joy was first recorded in the 1959 novel *Strike Out Where Not Applicable* by British crime author Nicolas Freeling: "Buttered toast, and cherry cake, as well as Marmite. Goody, goody gumdrops."
PayDay

**PayDay** is a candy bar consisting of salted peanuts rolled in caramel, similar to an Oh Henry bar without the chocolate coating. It is currently produced by The Hershey Company.

## History

PayDay was first introduced in 1932 by Frank Martoccio. Martoccio founded the **F.A. Martoccio Macaroni Company**, and also later served as head of the Hollywood Candy Company. Hollywood also produced the ZERO bar. In 1938, Hollywood moved to Centralia, Illinois. In 1967, the Martoccio family sold Hollywood Brands to Consolidated Foods, which later became Sara Lee. Fire destroyed the Centralia plant in 1980. Production of the PayDay bar continued with help from the L.S. Heath and Sons Company until a new facility could be constructed. In 1988, Hollywood Brands was acquired by the Leaf Candy Company, and then later became part of The Hershey Company in 1996.

PayDay variations include a Honey-Roasted limited edition in 2003, the PAYDAY PRO, a high protein energy bar in 2005, and the PayDay Chocolatey Avalanche, a chocolate-covered version, in 2007. For a promotion in 1989, PayDays each contained an individually wrapped nickel.
Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted

The **Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted** was a chocolate bar produced by Cadbury UK in the United Kingdom. It was a milk chocolate bar with a filling of Cadbury Creme Egg fondant. Introduced in 2008, it was a result of Cadbury researching that customers wanted the Creme Egg to be available all year, mainly for the fondant centre rather than the egg shape. Previously, the fondant Creme Egg center was available as a filling in the Cadbury Dairy Milk line, but that has since then been phased out with the Creme Egg Twisted replacing it. Currently, only the Cadbury Heroes mini variation is available in the UK.

During 2011, the bar was introduced to Australia, but was pulled from stores several months later due to low popularity.

The bar was recently introduced into the Republic of Ireland, Canada and New Zealand.

## Advertising

In May 2008, an advertisement screened on ITV and Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, featured in various ways a creme egg being melted while still in its wrapper (there were various versions of the commercial), only to mutate into a Twisted while yelling "Goo!" at random intervals and "spitting" out some of its goo, before repeating the word again when the advert finishes.

Whatchamacallit

**Whatchamacallit** is a candy bar marketed in the United States by The Hershey Company.

## History

Whatchamacallit bars were first introduced in 1978. The name was devised by Sallie Grayson, the writer of *STUFFED: Adventures of a Restaurant Family* when she was the associate creative director at Doyle Dane & Bernbach and was in charge of new brands on the Hershey account. From 1978 to 1987, Whatchamacallit consisted of a bar of peanut-flavored crisp that utilized peanut butter as the flavoring agent, coated in a thin layer of chocolate. From 1987 to 2008, *Whatchamacallit* has included peanut-flavored crisp that utilizes peanut butter as the flavoring agent, with a layer of caramel and a layer of chocolate coating. Hershey's *Whatchamacallit* is found in recipes for various food items, including pies, cookies, cheesecakes, and cupcakes.

The advertising for the Whatchamacallit peaked in the 1980s, after this period Hershey Company ran noticeably fewer advertisements for this product. However, despite the lack of attention the company gives it compared to its other products, the Whatchamacallit is still in production as of 2020.

In Canada, an identical candy bar is marketed by Hershey's as *Special Crisp*, but does not have the wide distribution in Canada that the *Whatchamacallit* has in the United States.

## Ingredient changes to reduce production costs

In 2008, the Hershey Company began to change the ingredients for some of its products, replacing the relatively expensive cocoa butter with cheaper oil substitutes. Such cost-cutting was done to avoid price increases for the affected products.

Hershey's changed the description of the product and altered the packaging slightly along with the ingredients. Though the new formula still contains chocolate, according to United States Food and Drug Administration food labeling laws, products that do not contain cocoa butter cannot legally be described as milk chocolate. Instead, such products are often referred to as *chocolate candy*.
Kinder Bueno

Yahemi yadadamean *Kinder Bueno'* (*kinder* is German for "children", *bueno* is Spanish for "good") is a chocolate bar made by Italian confectionery maker Ferrero. Kinder Bueno, part of the Kinder Chocolate brand line, is a hazelnut cream filled wafer with a chocolate covering. It is sold in packs of two, three, six, and boxes of twelve.

Kinder Bueno was first marketed in Italy in 1991 and later the same year in Germany. Then became available in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, France, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Israel and Greece in the mid-1990s, in Spain, Gibraltar starting in 1999, and has been common in Bulgaria, Canada, Australia, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom since 2002. It is also common in Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Croatia, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Iran, Slovenia, Denmark, Morocco, North Macedonia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Belgium, Turkey, Finland and Estonia. It has become increasingly more available in the United States, carried at some major chains, like World Market, along with other Kinder products such as Kinder Country Crisp, Kinder Chocolate, and Happy Hippo.

## Production

The Kinder Bueno bar is made in the factories of France and Warsaw, Poland. In its early beginnings, the twin kinder bueno had hazelnut cream inside an actual hazelnut shell, but because the product was targeting children the idea was dropped after only 2 years, and only the nut filling remains. In 2012 they made the same bar, except with ingredients such as white nougat and white chocolate.
Dark chocolate

**Dark chocolate** (also known as **black chocolate**, **dark black chocolate**, **plain chocolate**, or **sour chocolate**) is a form of chocolate containing cocoa solids, cocoa butter, without the milk or butter found in milk chocolate. Government and industry standards of what products may be labeled "dark chocolate" vary by country and market.

Although dark chocolate has a reputation as a healthier alternative to other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate, high-quality evidence for significant health benefits, such as on blood pressure, has not been shown.

## History

Chocolate is made from the tropical Theobroma cacao tree seeds. Dark chocolate has been around for over 3,000 years. It was developed around 1900 B.C in Central and South America as a drink. It was the only form of chocolate that was available at the time. Later, it was also made into a drink for the Aztecs and Mayans for ceremonial and medicinal purposes. Due to the bitterness of pure dark chocolate, it was modified over the years to become more than just dark chocolate. The Spanish discovered chocolate in the early 1500s and brought it back to Europe; they would add honey and cane sugar to make it sweeter and this paved the road to the creation of milk chocolate. In the late 1600s, milk was added to the dark chocolate beverage by a man named Hans Solan, who resided in Jamaica at the time. It is argued that milk chocolate was first invented by Daniel Peter and Henri Nestle who added condensed milk to dark chocolate in 1847. Soon after, chocolate was made into a solid form and started to be mass-produced in the 20th century. Mass production of milk chocolates led to it becoming vastly more popular than dark chocolate. However, dark chocolate has regained some popularity due to its supposed health benefits.

## Research

As of 2018, well-tested and generalizable clinical trials have not been conducted to evaluate the effects of compounds found in cocoa on physiological outcomes, such as blood pressure for which only small (1–2 mmHg) changes resulted from short-term consumption of chocolate up to 105 grams and 670 milligrams of flavonols per day. Flavanols found in dark chocolate that are linked to blood pressure and vascular activity include the monomers catechin and epicatechin, and (to a lesser extent) the polymeric procyanidins.

## Nutritional content

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states the nutrients of "Dark chocolate (70–85% cacao solids)" includes 1% water, 46% carbohydrates, 43% fat, and 8% protein (table). In a 100 grams (3.5 oz) reference amount, "Dark chocolate (70–85% cacao solids)" supplies several dietary minerals in significant content, such as iron at 92% of the Daily Value and vitamin B6 at 29% DV. Dark chocolate contains 70–100% cocoa solids (nutrition table).

## Use in dishes

Jujube

**Jujube** or **jube**, or "juju" is a gummy type of candy drop.

## History

A recipe for "pate de jujubes" was published in 1709. The recipe called for gum arabic, sugar, and the date-like jujube fruit. In 1853, both "ju ju paste" and "ju ju drops" were sold by confectioners. Later, recipes used various flavorings instead of jujube fruits.
Wonder Ball

The **Wonder Ball** is a brand of chocolate manufactured in the United States by Nestlé and later by the Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company. The spherical candy, which weighs 3 grams, has an outer shell that is pure milk chocolate and a hollow interior containing candies. The wonder ball is wrapped in foil, placed in a small box, and packaged with a collectible sticker. There is also a version of the Wonder Ball called the Wonder Ball Plus a Prize that contains a chocolate ball filled with tangy dextrose candy, stickers and a small capsule with a relevant toy inside.

## History

The Wonder Ball was first introduced in the mid 1990s. The product's slogan was "What's In the Wonder Ball?" Originally called **Nestlé Magic Ball**, the product contained small figurines of Disney characters, similar to the Kinder Surprise which retails in Europe, Canada, and Mexico. The product was withdrawn in 1997 after competitors and consumer groups campaigned that the toy posed a choking hazard.

In April 2000, the Wonder Ball was re-released with candy in place of the toys. The Wonder Ball had a variety of themes, including Disney, *Pokémon*, Cartoon Network, *Care Bears*, and *Winnie the Pooh*. In 2004, the brand was sold to Frankford, who released it under a *SpongeBob SquarePants* theme. An urban legend has circulated that the product was discontinued because a child choked and died, but there was no confirmation that the discontinuation was due to choking allegations.

After a 9-year absence, Frankford re-released the Wonder Ball with *Despicable Me* themed candy and stickers in February 2016. Also, it released Shopkins, Dinosaurs, Disney and Halloween. Wonder Ball Minis were released as two smaller Wonder Balls packaged together to enable sharing. They released in 2017 with Disney and Disney/Pixar characters. Wonder Ball Plus Prizes features a normal size Wonder Ball with stickers and a separated capsule with a prize inside. They released in 2017 with different varieties such as Shopkins, Super Mario, Monsters and Paw Patrol. Frankford Candy still produces the Wonderball to this day. It can be found in Walmart, Amazon, Family Dollar, Five Below, Party City, Walgreens, Cracker Barrel, and many other retailers.

Smarties

For the chocolate candy of the same name, click here.

In the United States, **Smarties** are a type of tablet candy produced by Smarties Candy Company, formerly known as Ce De Candy Inc., since 1949. Smarties are produced in factories in both Union Township, New Jersey, and Newmarket, Ontario. The candies distributed in Canada are marketed as **Rockets**, to avoid confusion with Nestlé's Smarties. The New Jersey factory produces approximately 1 billion rolls of Smarties annually, and in total the company produces over 2.5 billion in a year.

One individual candy is a biconcave disc in shape, with a diameter of roughly 1 cm (0.39 in) and a height of roughly 4 mm (0.16 in). Larger ones have a diameter of 2.5 cm (0.98 in) and are about 6 mm (0.24 in) thick. Smarties come in combinations of colors within their wrapped rolls; these include white and pastel shades of yellow, pink, orange, purple, and green. Each color's flavor is different. They are usually packaged as a roll of 15 candies. Smarties candies are peanut-free, gluten-free, fat-free and dairy-free. All Smarties candies are free of animal products and are thus suitable for vegans.

## History

After World War II, the Dee family bought pellet machines and repurposed them to make candy. This gave the candy its resemblance to tablet-style pills in shape and texture. When sugar prices spiked in the 1970s, Ce De Candy switched from sucrose to dextrose. In the 1990s, the Dee family purchased the website smarties.com.

In 2004, Ce De Candy Co., Inc., in conjunction with Rock The Vote, manufactured 500,000 special edition Smarties with "Rock the Vote" on the wrapper. A 3.5-ounce Theater box was released in 2009, with a retro look on the boxes. In 2011, Ce De Candy Company, Inc. changed its name to Smarties Candy Company. In August 2011, the company confirmed that Smarties were vegan.
