Butterfinger
Butterfinger is a candy bar created in 1923 in Chicago, Illinois by Otto Schnering, which currently is manufactured by Nestlé. The bar consists of a flaky, crisp, peanut butter-flavored center covered with compound chocolate.
==History==
The Curtiss Candy Company had been founded near Chicago, Illinois, in 1922 by Otto Schnering, using his mother's maiden name. The Butterfinger candy bar was invented by him during 1923. The company held a public contest to choose the name of this candy. In an early marketing campaign, the company dropped Butterfinger and Baby Ruth candy bars from airplanes in cities across the United States as a publicity stunt that helped increase its popularity. The candy bar also was promoted in ''Baby Take a Bow'', a 1934 film featuring Shirley Temple.
In 1964, Standard Brands Inc. purchased the Curtiss Candy Company. It then merged with Nabisco in 1981. RJR Nabisco was formed in 1985 by the merger of Nabisco Brands and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. In 1988, RJR Nabisco was purchased by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. in what was at the time, the largest leveraged buyout in history.
In 1990, Nestlé, a Swiss multinational food and beverage company, bought Baby Ruth and Butterfinger from RJR Nabisco. When measured by revenues, Nestlé, is considered the largest food company in the world.〔("Nestlé's Brabeck: We have a "huge advantage" over big pharma in creating medical foods" ), ''CNN Money'', 1 April 2011〕〔("Nestlé: The unrepentant chocolatier" ), ''The Economist'', 29 October 2009.
