Why is Red Bull Called Red Bull?

September 27, 2018 by Chloie Parsons Leave a Comment

Some folks really need a caffeine boost to get moving, but not everyone likes the taste of coffee and yet others want a health benefit in what they consume. Ta-da! The energy drink is born! Loaded with water, sugar, caffeine, taurine, inositol, and B-vitamins, Red Bull “gives wings to people who want to be mentally and physically active and have a zest for life.”

Why is Mentos Called Mentos

July 20, 2018 by Chloie Parsons Leave a Comment

Mentos are the candies that freshen your breath with refreshing minty freshness and, if you have not heard, make Diet Coke explode. Oh, and if mint is not your thing, Mentos also come in fruit flavors, but be forewarned – the fruit flavors will do nothing exciting to Diet Coke. Originally thought of as a peppermint caramel candy, the Van Melle brothers came up with the idea for Mentos during a train trip to Poland in 1932. Van Melle (now Perfetti Van Melle via a merger with the Perfetti Group) was already a very well known confectionary brand in the Netherlands at the time but they were relatively unheard of in the USA. However, by the 1960s Mentos redesigned their packaging into the roll we still see today and took their product global.

Why is Twizzlers Called Twizzlers?

May 2, 2018 by Chloie Parsons Leave a Comment

Twizzlers is a twisted rope candy produced in the USA. Made of enriched wheat flour, liquid sugar, corn syrup, artificial flavoring, shortening, and food coloring, Twizzlers was developed in 1929 by The Young & Smylie Confectionery Company. Twizzlers became really popular in the 1960s. In fact, Neil Armstrong’s second remark on the moon in 1969, after his “giant leap for mankind” statement was, “I could go for some Twizzlers right now.” I wonder if this off-the-cuff ad placement had anything to do with their surge in popularity.
