Answer 1

I think the origins for many of these products will be from a product development department at Hershey's, based on consumer demand and competetive sales, but here is the best I could come up with:

The Jolly Rancher Candy Company was founded in Golden, Colorado, by Bill and Dorothy Harmsen in 1949. They called the company Jolly Rancher to suggest a hospitable, western company. The company originally made ice cream, chocolate and hard candy. As hard candy sales grew, however, they began to concentrate on developing their "Famous for Flavor" line of hard candies.

In 1966, the Harmsens sold Jolly Rancher to Beatrice Foods, but the family continued to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the business. Leaf purchased Jolly Rancher in 1983. Hershey Foods Corporation acquired the Leaf North American confectionery operations from Huhtamaki Oy of Helsinki, Finland in 1996.



Ice Breakers only recorded history (at least from what is available online) is as follows:
Launched in March 2004. Spearmint and Cinnamon flavors launched in September 2004. Alpine Splash and Citrus Freeze flavors launched in 2005.
June 2004 ICE BREAKERS Gum and Mint Dual Packs launched in Spearmint and Coolmint flavors.
March 2005 New Tangerine flavor joins the ICE BREAKERS Gum & Mint Dual Pack line.

Twizzlers is a licorice. As such, it has a long history of use as flavoring and for medicinal purposes. According to Hershey's, the history of Twizzlers is as-follows:

Y&S Candies, the manufacturers of TWIZZLERS candy, is one of the oldest confectionery firms in the United States. The company was established in 1845 as Young and Smylie and adopted Y&S as its trademark in 1870. National Licorice Company was created in 1902 through the merger of three small firms: Young & Smylie, S.V. & F.P. Schudder and H.W. Petherbridge. The company changed its name to Y&S Candies Inc. in 1968 and was acquired by Hershey Foods in 1977.

Today TWIZZLERS candy is available in a variety of flavors and styles. Y&S produces strawberry, true black licorice, cherry, and chocolate flavored licorice-style candy.

PAYDAY Peanut Caramel Bar was first introduced in 1932 by Frank Martoccio, founder of the F.A. Martoccio Macaroni Company and, later, head of Hollywood Brands, Inc. Martoccio also manufactured and sold ZERO (1920) candy bars.

The Martoccio family sold Hollywood Brands to Consolidated Foods Corporation (later to become Sara Lee) in 1967. Business was good when a fire destroyed the Centralia, Illinois plant in 1980. With the assistance of the L.S. Heath and Sons Company and the ingenuity and hard work of the Centralia employees, Hollywood Brands continued production until a new facility could be constructed. The new building was opened in 1983. In 1988, Hollywood Brands was purchased by Huhtamaki Oy and became part of Leaf, Inc. Hershey Foods Corporation acquired the Leaf North America confectionery operations from Huhtamaki Oy of Helsinki, Finland in 1996.

You mean you need the source otherwise you'll get an F on your assignment. Grow up and do your own homework. When you get a real job I'm afraid you'll have to do your own work. Really how hard would it be for you to do a web search on each product and get your own information. You should be ashamed of yourself. There is no pride in cheating.

Answer 4

Sorry. Can't give you any sources except my own common sense. these products were all made for the purpose of commerce.

Answer 5

Being "cute" will not get you through life. As was stated, do your own work and stop playing.
