What is the name of a Candy Bar that was named after a president's daughter. Also name the president.

Baby Ruth after Ruth Cleveland  daughter of Grover Cleveland

I looked at the wiki for this and interestingly, that story was almost certainly a smokescreen for the fact that the bar was really named after Babe Ruth, since when the name was coined (1921) Cleveland had been out of office for 24 years and "Baby" Ruth had been dead for 17.

That's really interesting. Was it because they did not want to have to pay the estate of Babe Ruth? I heard that while the Babe was alive, he was always being taken advantage of and never getting paid enough for his endorsements. I wonder if his family went after everything they could further down the road.

The Babe was at the peak of his popularity when the bar came out, so probably it was a move to save royalties.  But the official story has never changed so Ruth and his family don't get a dime.
