these facts about soda and candy?

Soda:
  • When the citrus soda 7-Up was created in 1929, it was named very  for the 7-ounce bottles used to contain the soda. The Up  referred to the direction of the bubbles!*

  • When Coca Cola concentrate syrup is transported by a commercial truck, the truck must use the Hazardous material place cards made for Highly Corrosive materials.**

                           Candy Bars:
  • The famous Baby Ruth candy bar is actually not named after the famous baseball player, Babe Ruth. It was named after Grover Cleveland's baby daughter, Ruth.*
  • The Snickers candy bar was named after it's creator's family horse.***
  • Milk Duds are named for the milk chocolate (obviously) and the fact that they were supposed to be perfectly round candies. When they couldn't make the candies perfectly round, they were considered duds.**** 
  • 3 Musketeers was originally three different candy bars wrapped together. There were three chocolate bars:  one was filled with vanilla nougat, one with strawberry nougat, and the third with chocolate nougat. When rationed out to soldiers in WWII, Mars dropped the vanilla and strawberry and kept the chocolate (the 3 Musketeers we know today).***
