babe ruth the baseball player.........

Answer 8

"According to company statements, the Baby Ruth candy bar

was named for the daughter of President Grover Cleveland,

who was born while he was living in the White House.

It was not named for Babe Ruth.

(When Babe Ruth wanted to bring out a candy bar of his own,

he was prevented by a court order).

There is some suspicion that the company was not entirely

truthful about the real origin of the name."
