Fun fact with some history for you, who was the Babe Ruth chocolate named after? I bet the first thing that pops into your mind is Babe Ruth, the baseball player, but you’re wrong. In 1884 Grover Cleveland was the first democratic president since the Civil War. It was a tough election because his opponent decided to bring out the skeletons from the closet and let the public know he had fathered a child out of wedlock. I know, who cares right? But believe it or not, this was a bit of a big deal back in that time. It actually still is to some people now days. Presidents are supposed to be perfect, or at least appear to be, so it must’ve been pretty tough for him to win the election. He was probably that good to win over the people. Anyway, he was also the first, and only president to get married in the white house. How weird is that? isn’t every president like old and married? Well I guess he was the exception. His wife was 21 years old, and he was 49 at the time. He went on to have 5 children with this woman, whom he staid married to for the rest of his life by the way. Many people thought otherwise because of the age difference but I guess they were all wrong. Their first child, who was born in the white house, was named Ruth. Now do you see where I’m trying to get at? Yes, the candy companies figured they could make some good amount of money by using baby Ruth’s name for one of their chocolates. After all he was a good president during his first term, and the people were sure to support the president. Hey, they were right, to this day the chocolate is still around.
