The Baby Ruth is an American candy bar made with peanuts, caramel, and nougat. It's almost what you'd get if you took an Oh Henry! bar and turned the fudge into nougat.

鲁斯宝贝（Baby Ruth）是一种由花生、焦糖和牛轧糖制成的美国糖块。一块“鲁斯宝贝”相当于用一个Oh Henry! 棒棒糖才能将软糖变为牛轧糖。

When the Curtiss Candy Company introduced the Baby Ruth bar in 1921, many people assumed its name was a reference to Babe Ruth, the star baseball player. Curtiss claimed that their candy bar was named after Ruth Cleveland, the daughter of President Grover Cleveland. Uh huh.

当柯蒂斯糖果公司于1921年将“鲁斯宝贝”引进美国时，许多人误以为它的名字是取自于一个棒球球员贝比鲁斯（Babe Ruth）。但是柯蒂斯却宣称他们的糖果名字取自格罗弗克利夫兰（Grover Cleveland）总统的女儿，鲁斯克利夫兰（Ruth Cleveland）。呵呵。
Ruth Cleveland had died at age 12 in 1904. By 1921, she'd been dead for 17 years. Her father was also old news, having passed away in 1908. Babe Ruth, on the other hand, was a household name in 1921, not only for his baseball talents, but also for his reckless lifestyle off the field. When people noted these facts, Curtiss stood by their Ruth Cleveland story. They never had to pay royalties to Babe Ruth.
鲁斯克利夫兰（Ruth Cleveland）死于1904年，享年12岁。直到1921年，她已经去世了17年。她的父亲于1908年离开了人世，同样也已成往事了。在另一方面，贝比鲁斯（Babe Ruth）在1921年同样是一个家喻户晓的名字，不仅是因为他的棒球天赋，还因为他在场下鲁莽的生活作风。人们在注意到这些事实时，柯蒂斯糖果公司始终坚称自己的糖果名取自鲁斯克利夫兰(Ruth Cleveand)，他们从不对贝比鲁斯（Babe Ruth）支付任何版权使用费。
What's the official story today? The Baby Ruth brand is now owned by Nestle. When your humble researcher went to their Baby Ruth page, he found no explanation of the name whatsoever (unlike their page about Oh Henry!).
今天官方的说法是什么呢？“鲁斯宝贝”这个品牌现在由雀巢拥有。当谦逊的研究者们进入雀巢网站上鲁斯宝贝（Baby Ruth）的网页，他无论如何都找不到关于它名字的由来。（不同于他们页面上对于Oh Henry！的介绍）
