Baby Ruth was marketed as a healthy alternative to other candy bars of the time and quickly became one of the most popular candy bars in America. The candy bar is still produced today and is a popular choice among candy lovers.
Bubble Gum

The first commercial bubble gum was invented by Walter Diemer in 1928. Diemer was an accountant at the Fleer Chewing Gum Company and was experimenting with new gum recipes in his spare time.
He eventually came up with a recipe for a pink, fluffy gum that could be easily blown into bubbles. The gum was named Dubble Bubble and it became an instant success. Today, bubble gum comes in a variety of flavors and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
