The very first candy bar was manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee in 1912 when a combination of caramel, marshmallow, peanuts, and milk chocolate was cooked in a copper kettle by Howell Campbell at the Standard Candy Co. The result was packaged up and named the Goo Goo Cluster, named for the first words out of the mouth of the inventor’s new baby. Come along with Tidbits as we eat candy!

IN THE BEGINNING• The story goes that a little old lady in the French town of

Montelimar used to make up a treat from honey, sugar, nuts, fruits, and eggs to give to all her friends. The friends would say, “Tu nous gates” which is French for “You spoil us!” From this we get our word (and our filling) called nougat.

• “Fudge” used to be nothing but a swear word. It’s said that a Philadelphia candy maker was trying to make a better chewy caramel but goofed it up. Instead he got a crystallized non-chewy substance that wasn’t at all what he was trying to make. “Oh, fudge!” he shouted out, and thus fudge was (supposedly) born.

• In Chicago a confectioner was trying to make a better butterscotch by adding more milk to improve the flavor, but he ended up changing the butterscotch so much that it wasn’t recognizable as butterscotch any longer. He had invented milk caramel.

• In 1890 a woman in New England was making peanut-flavored taffy. However, she accidentally used baking soda in the recipe instead of the cream of tartar which was called for. Her mistake resulted in the invention of peanut brittle.

• In the mid-1920s, something that was “red hot” was new, up-to-date, and popular. A new candy that the manufacturers hoped would be considered up-to-date and popular was called Red Hots for that reason, not

because of the flavor, which is cinnamon.• NECCO Wafers get their name from the initials of the

company that manufactures them: the New England Confectionery Company.

• Dum Dum lollipops got their name from a type of bullet called the dum dum that was used in World War I. They have the same shape.

• In 1896 Leo Hirschfield named his new candy product after his six-year-old daughter Clara, who was nicknamed Tootsie: the Tootsie Roll. The Tootsie

Roll was the first penny candy that was individually wrapped.

• George Smith owned the first sucker-manufacturing machine which opened for business in New Haven, Colorado in 1908. Lolly Pop was the name of a popular racehorse of the day, so he named his new confection the lollipop.

• Otto Schnering, inventor of the Baby Ruth candy bar, once promoted the product by hiring a chartered

not want people to pet it? There could be any number of reasons. Maybe the dog is fine when left alone, but snaps at strangers who try to pet it. Maybe it’s fearful and gets stressed out when strangers approach -- making it much harder to help it get comfortable around strangers and other dogs. You might notice an uncomfortable dog cowering and tucking its tail, giving a low growl or other stressed-out signs.

Or, maybe the dog has an injury, like a cut or recent surgery, and the owner doesn’t want people to accidentally touch the area, which could be painful for the dog.

In any case, don’t be hurt by the owner’s refusal. The reason has to do with the comfort and safety of the dog. When you are respectful of that, you’re helping out, even in a small way.

As an added note, be sure to teach your friends and siblings about asking permission. And remind them not to pet any strange dog that’s unattended -- whether on a leash or running loose. Don’t run away, but care-fully avoid the dog and alert your parents, a park ranger or police officer.

The term “Dog Days of Summer” is an expression that has fallen out of favor in recent times, and for sports fans this poses a peculiar dilemma. In today’s world it’s all about build-ing a brand, and these two months -- when kids are out of school, people go on vacation and women wear bikinis -- have always had an image problem. And besides, hipster millennials are not going to use ancient Gregorian-era terms like “July” or “August.” OMG LOL

There are other reasons to take action. If we don’t figure out what to call these days, our sports calendars can get out of whack. It’s like trying to catch up on sleep. You can’t. Sched-ules will run into one another, and the next thing you know, the Chicago Blackhawks will be playing hockey in June in places like Tampa Bay, which sounds preposterous, but that’s exactly the kind of apocalyptic vision that I feel awaits us if we don’t act now.

You don’t have to slip too far down the slope to see that this could lead to the watering down all of our standards. It would be like calling a team that has won three non-consecutive Stanley Cup championships over a six-year span a “dynasty” instead of the accurate way we refer to such scenarios in our present day, which is “not a dynasty.”

Boardwalk vendors say that “dog days” refers to the hot dogs they sell, but I’m skeptical. We’ve only been calling them “hot dogs” since World War II. I doubt we referred to the sum-mer months as the “Frankfurter Wiener Days” before the war. Anyway, the answer I propose looms a little further off the boardwalk, in waist-deep water, waiting to strike at any moment:

These are the “Shark Days of Summer.”For one, this is the time of year Discovery broadcasts “Shark Week” all month. I’m not quite

sure what is left to discover about sharks, but give those producers and scientists credit for giving us what we want, which clearly is taunting sharks. Because I think we have a pretty firm grasp on what sharks do by now. It’s not like we’re going to suddenly find out something that changes our perception of the sharks.

We will never see the scientist turn to the camera and say something like, “Hey! Guess what? Found out something NEW. Turns out, they’re huge Judy Garland fans. We caught some hammerheads sneaking off to the Maldives the other night and heard them singing show tunes with a bunch of leopard seals after hours.”

In addition to the headline-grabbing exploits of the sharks trying to eat newspaper editors off our southern coast, “Shark Tank,” starring Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, is enjoy-ing a ratings bonanza on the tube. I am not in any way trivializing the danger of what’s been going on -- people have legitimate reason to worry -- but again, I just want to point out the statistics. As scary as it may seem, the odds of being attacked by Mark Cuban are very low.

My elevator pitch could probably use a little work, though. Enjoy the rest of your summer, folks!

airplane to do a massive Baby Ruth candy bar drop over the city of Pittsburgh, PA in 1923. The ploy worked, and sales took off.

• M & M’s stand for Frank Mars, founder of Mars Candy, and Bob Murrie, the president of Mars Candy.

• In Alexandre Dumas’ best selling book “The Three Musketeers,” the three heroes Athos, Porthos, and Aramis pal around together having adventures. In 1932 Frank Mars, maker of the Snickers bar, invented a new candy bar in honor of the novel. The candy bar was actually three bars in one: vanilla nougat, chocolate nougat, and strawberry nougat. By the 1940s the 3 Musketeers bar was all chocolate nougat.

• In the 1950s quiz shows were all the rage. One show, an early forerunner of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” was called “The Big Surprise.” Mike Wallace (of “60 Minutes” fame) was the emcee and contestants were

asked ten questions to win prizes increasing in value from $100 to $100,000. The show aired for the first time in 1957 and was very popular, inspiring Nestlé to come out with the $100,000 Bar.

• At the Williamson Candy Co. in Chicago, a young man named Henry came by every day to watch the young ladies make candy. They would talk and flirt and before long, Henry began helping them out with small tasks and errands whenever he came by. “Oh, Henry, would you please...” “Oh, Henry will you…” When a new nut roll was added to the product line, company owner Mr. Williamson asked his workers what they wanted to name it. “Every day all we hear is, ‘Oh Henry this’ and ‘Oh Henry that’ so why not call it the Oh Henry bar?” and so it was.

popular and later became a radio show starring Shirley Temple. James Welch liked the play a lot and couldn’t get the name “Junior Miss” out of his head. A few years later when he came up with a new type of candy, he decided to name it Junior Mints.

FULL MOON PIE• The Mountain City Flour Mill in Chattanooga,

Tennessee produced a lot of flour- so much so that they set up the Chattanooga Bakery whose purpose was to find new ways to use up excess flour. By 1910 the bakery had a product line of over 200 confections. In 1917 a bakery manager named Earl Mitchell was trying to think up new ideas for better products when he had a chat with some local miners. The miners said

they wanted something to put in their lunch pails that was sweet, solid, filling, and big. “How big?” said Mitchell. About that time the moon was rising, so one of the miners held up his hands to frame the full moon and said, “About that big!” Thus, the MoonPie was born. The combination of cookie, marshmallow, and chocolate was so popular that by the 1950s the bakery stopped producing anything else but the MoonPie.

MYSTERY OF WINT-O-GREEN• If you go into a completely dark room, let your eyes

adjust, then bite or smash a Wint-O-Green Life Saver, faint blue sparks can be seen. Why? Did you ever watch a car drag a metal object along pavement? Ever see someone sharpening a knife on a grinding stone? Ever brush your hair or pet the cat on a dry night in the darkness? Sparks. There are always sparks. If you energize an atom with heat or electricity or friction, that atom will give off light. A Wint-O-Green Life Saver is flavored with an oily chemical called methyl salicylate. When you bite on the Life Saver, you fracture sugar crystals and the energy is imparted to the methyl salicylate, which incandesces as a result. It doesn’t happen when you suck on the Life Saver because that does not impart any forceful kind of energy to the candy. It doesn’t happen with other flavors because methyl salicylate fluoresces easily and other flavoring agents don’t.

One of the landmarks for the community has been the gazebo at the south end of Main Street. Originally constructed in 1928 by volun-teers, the gazebo has weathered the times of Estelline and stands as the proud entrance to the community. Today, Estelline hosts a bit of the past, the present, and the future. New business ventures can be found amongst landmarks like Ward’s Shopping Center (early 1950s) and Hoffelt Drug Store (1911), where you can still grab an old-fashioned fountain drink.

• I have stained coffee cups. My hands have ar-

thritis, and it’s hard to wash them by hand. A young woman at church suggested I pur-chase a small bottle of dishwasher soap, even though I don’t have a dishwasher. I squirt a little in the cup and add hot wa-ter. It sits while I wash up the other dishes, and then swishes right out. The stains are gone. -- T.T. in Missouri

• For the summer, I fill a gym-size duffel bag with “spontaneity supplies” and keep it in the trunk of my car. It includes swim-suits for all family members, a blanket and cups, plates and silverware for a picnic.

• You can use a clean paper milk carton to pour batter for pancakes. The spout makes it easy to pour and reduces splatter.

• I got tired of always looking for the dust-pan, and so I put a magnet on the back of it. It sticks right on the side of the fridge, right next to the broom. -- L.M. in Kentucky

Noteworthy InventorsMILTON HERSHEY

• When Milton Hershey’s mother apprenticed him to a printer in 1871, it didn’t take him long to discover that he hated printing. Instead, he ended up apprenticed to a confectioner, where he spent four years learning the art of making candy.

• When his apprenticeship ended, he set up his own candy shop in Philadelphia, but it failed. He moved to Denver where he learned the art of making caramel from a Colorado dairyman.

• Next he moved to New York City and tried to open a successful caramel factory, only to fail once again. So he returned to his family home in Pennsylvania and tried one more time to open a successful candy store.

• This time, he won a large contract with a European firm, and the money generated by this single order was enough to get him started down the road to success. Soon, the Lancaster Caramel Company was employing over 1,400 people, shipping candy worldwide, and turning Milton Hershey into one of the town’s leading citizens.

• Visiting the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893,

Milton was fascinated by the exhibit set up by a German chocolate company which demonstrated the latest technology in automated chocolate manufacturing. When the Expo ended, Milton bought the machinery and shipped it back to Pennsylvania, convinced he could add chocolate to his already successful caramel business. It soon became apparent to him that the demand for chocolate outstripped the demand for caramel.

• Surrounded by the dairylands of Pennsylvania, he started doing his own experiments with milk chocolate. The production of milk chocolate had long been a closely guarded trade secret held by the Swiss. But through sheer trial and error, Milton Hershey figured out the formula.

• By the turn of the century, the business was so successful that he built a new factory near the town of Derry Township, Pennsylvania, where he had been born. He then proceeded to build a town around the factory. The town was later re-named for him: Hershey, Pennsylvania.

• The town he built to house his workers was a model community, designed not to exploit people (as other company towns did) but to provide for their welfare.

There were schools, lecture halls, an amusement park, gardens, churches, and a trolley system.• In 1900, he sold his caramel company for the princely sum of $1 million (worth $27 million in today’s dollars) and began to focus exclusively on producing chocolate. • Thanks to the Hershey bar (invented in 1900) and the Hershey Kiss (invented in 1907), chocolate went from being a treat reserved for the rich to a delight everyone could afford. • In 1912, Milton Hershey and his wife had tickets to travel on the Titanic. They canceled their reservations at the last minute due to business matters which required Hershey’s attention. The check he wrote to reserve a first-class stateroom on the Titanic is in the archives of The Hershey museum.• Hershey supplied soldiers with chocolate bars during World War II. The chocolate was formulated to taste a little bad to prevent troops from getting cravings for them, and it had to withstand high temperatures without melting. In 1939, the Hershey plant was capable of producing 100,000 ration bars a day. By the end of the war, the entire Hershey plant was producing ration bars at a rate of 24 million a week. • The company Milton Hershey set up continued to flourish even after his death in 1945 at the age of 88. Today Milton Hershey’s firm is the largest chocolate company in North America.
