Instead of having a candy bar named after him..... |
|
Instead of getting a candy bar named after him (ala Baby Ruth and Oh! Henry), what product do you think will be named after Barry Bonds? Hmmmm, let me think.... could it be....?
Here does a fun contest – what product would it be and what would the name be?

It's marked like a tape measure. As your head expands (from HGH use) so does the headband stretch...but the numbers NEVER increase! That way, when those accusatory haters suggest that you use, you point to the headband today and from pics 10 years ago. It'll appear to be the very. same. size. That'll show 'em!!!

Barry Bonds Polyurethane Glue. Powerful stuff. Holds like it was on steroids or something.
It's a no-brainer, folks...Barry Bonds just about anything to just about anything.

7. Some historical perspective: |
|
Although the name of the candy bar sounds nearly identical to the name of the famous baseball player Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company has traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland. Nonetheless, the bar first appeared in 1920, as Babe Ruth's fame was on the rise and long after Cleveland had left the White House and 16 years after his daughter had died. Moreover, the company had failed to negotiate an endorsement deal with Ruth, and many saw the company's story about the origin of the name of the bar as merely a way to avoid having to pay the baseball player any royalties. Ironically, Curtiss successfully shut down a rival bar that was approved by, and named for, Ruth, on the grounds that the names were too similar in the case of George H. Ruth Candy Co. v. Curtiss Candy Co, 49 F.2d 1033 (1931).(more) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_RuthAccording to legend, Oh Henry! was originally named after a boy who frequented the Williamson company, flirting with the girls who made the candy. The name is also said to be an homage to American writer, O. Henry. These stories are probably apocryphal.
The candy bar was invented by a man named Tom Henry of Arkansas City, Kansas. Tom Henry ran a candy company called the Peerless candy factory, and in 1919 he started making the Tom Henry candy bar. He sold the candy bar to Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 where they later changed the name to "Oh Henry!"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_Henry%21
