Which popular American snack was named after a luxury hotel?

• Ritz Cracker
• Lay's
• Snicker Bar
• Hershey's Chocolate

The Ritz Cracker, Nabisco wasn’t just selling a snack—they were selling hope. Nabisco executive Sydney Stern picked the name “Ritz” to signify luxury. “Ritz” and “ritzy” had become common parlance for “fancy” following the success of luxury hotelier César Ritz and his Ritz-Carlton hotels. While Stern’s fellow Nabisco executives were skeptical this name would connect with customers in this era, Stern argued the opposite; naming the cracker “Ritz” would help remind people of better days, give them a taste of the high life, and provide a sense that the world would get back on track.

Which famous candy was invented by a dentist?

• Jawbreaker
• Candy corn
• Popcorn
• Cotton Candy

Cotton candy was invented by dentist­ William Morrison, with the help of confectioner John C. Wharton. Together, in 1897, the pair designed and patented what they called an electric candy machine: a metal bowl containing a central spinning head filled with sugar crystals and perforated with minuscule holes. Cotton candy, surprisingly, is the least caloric of the lot, a mere 105 calories for a standard one-ounce serving. The reason for this is that cotton candy is mostly non-caloric air. The rest, however, is pure sugar.

What famous candy appears in the film "E.T."?

• Snickers
• Reese's Pieces
• Kisses
• M&Ms

Appearing in one key scene, when Elliott lures the alien with a trail of the mini candies, Spielberg originally intended for this iconic moment to involve M&Ms. The only reason they never ended up in the movie was that Mars Incorporated, who own M&Ms, refused to give the filmmaker permission to use the multi-colored chocolates. As a result, Spielberg chose Reese's Pieces as a replacement. Hershey Foods, who own Reese's Pieces, struck a deal to promote the movie, dedicating $1 million to advertising, all whilst Universal allowed them to feature the titular alien in their visual media. Earning close to $800 million at the box office from a budget of just $10.5 million, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial became a significant hit and, as a result, sales for Reese’s Pieces jumped 85% in the weeks following its release in June 1982.
