Answer 1

Bonkers candy

Bonkers was a candy offering from Nabisco in the mid-1980s. It consisted of chewable rectangular-shaped candies with tangy filling. The candy came in a large rectangular package with several of them individually wrapped. Common flavors included grape, orange, strawberry, watermelon and chocolate.

The product is perhaps most memorable for a series of television commercials in which one or more apparently uptight characters would take one bite of a Bonkers candy, and a giant fruit such as a bunch of grapes would fall from above and knock them into hysterical laughter. The tagline in the commercials was "Bonkers! Bonks you out!" Several of the commercials featured an older Southern woman who said in a deadpan voice that "Some folks think Bonkers is gum" after which the aforementioned giant fruit would fall on someone, inducing raucous laughter. The woman would then deadpan the line: "They know it's candy now." The original commercial had an ending that featured another giant piece of fruit falling, causing the actor to frown & a dour voice-over saying 'Artificially Flavored'. This was redone to have the actor continue to laugh when the last piece of fruit landed & the voice sounded more pleasant when it noted the artificial flavoring. Most of Bonkers candy commercials tended to be very high in energy and tonality, often with excited overtones.

After the commercials stopped running, the popularity of Bonkers waned until it became a rarity, available only in novelty candy stores. The manufacturer has discontinued the Bonkers line of candies. High competition in the candy and snack market combined with the increased focus on healthy alternatives may have also furthered the wane of Bonkers popularity .

In February 2012, Leaf Brands, LLC (www.leafbrands.com) acquired the trademark and plans to reintroduce the classic brand back into the market by the end of 2015.

In 2017, Leaf Brands will bring back the original Bonkers and will reintroduce some of the eight flavors. It also may be introducing new flavors to its lineup, both natural and artificial. The sugar content that is in Bonkers also may be changed in the new release. Since November 2016, with Bonkers Fruit Candy's Facebook and Twitter post stating, "We made more samples of Bonkers Fruit Chews on the line last week and we think they look pretty good! Getting closer but no date yet.." (With two pictures below), there have been no more updates on Bonkers Fruit Candy. The original flavors include:

Candy company Joyco made and sold a candy called "Bonkers" with no relation and very little similarity to the original Nabisco variety. It had no juicy center and the flavors and manufacturing process were completely different from the Nabisco Brand Bonkers.

Botan Rice Candy

Botan Rice Candy is a soft, chewy, slightly lemon-orange flavored candy with an outer layer of rice paper. The rice paper is clear and plastic-like when dry, but it is edible and dissolves in the mouth. It is a traditional Japanese candy, and it is currently imported to North America from Japan by JFC International.

Botan Rice Candies come in a small cardboard box which contains 3/4 oz. (21 grams) of candy. Each box contains six individual pieces and a sticker. Prior to 1998, each box contained a small plastic toy. The candy's name, Botan (kanji: 牡丹, hiragana: ぼたん), means "peony" in Japanese. A peony blossom is shown on the label, next to an inu-hariko, a dog-shaped traditional toy for Japanese children.

Another brand of the same candy is Tomoe Ame, with similar taste, packaging, and insert stickers.

In Japan this candy is marketed under the brand of "Bontan ame". Its name is after the fact that its flavor is based on bontan (ぼんたん), which means pomelo.

Bottle Caps (candy)

Bottle Caps are sweet tablet candies made to look like metal soda bottle caps in grape, cola, orange, root beer, and cherry flavors. They are sold by Nestlé under their Willy Wonka Candy Company brand.

Bottle Caps have a sour but slightly sweet taste to them, not wholly dissimilar to Smarties Candy Company's Smarties (Rockets outside the U.S.), SweeTarts or Runts, but with soda flavors and altered shapes. Bottle Caps come in purple packages weighing 0.73 oz (16 g) and containing approximately 24 pieces. They also can be purchased in a box containing 48 packages, or in small individually wrapped pouches of three candies, which can be given out as Halloween treats in the U.S. They may also come in a box with 6 oz (170 g) of the candies.

In the past, Bottle Caps contained a lemon-lime flavor instead of the current cherry flavor. There was also a time when Willy Wonka Co. made Fizzy Bottle Caps (called Fizzy Jerkz in the UK). These were like the original but contained ingredients to make them fizz when eaten.

In early 2009, each individual piece of Bottle Caps candy was made much smaller than they had been in the past. The underside was flattened, and no longer resembles the underside of a bottle cap. This is in exception to the paper tube packaging, which retains the original size and shape.

Bounty (chocolate bar)

Bounty is a chocolate bar manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and sold internationally. It was introduced in 1951 in the United Kingdom and Canada, initially only with a milk chocolate coating.

Bounty has a coconut filling enrobed with milk chocolate (which is sold in a blue wrapper) or dark chocolate (which is sold in a red wrapper) and is usually sold as two pieces wrapped in one package.

Since 2006, a cherry flavoured version has also been available in Australia. This was initially a limited edition flavour, but remained available as of 2013. In Europe, a limited edition mango flavour was available in 2004-05 and in Russia and Ukraine in 2010. A pineapple flavoured edition was available in Russia during 2014.

Although Bounty is no longer distributed by Mars in the United States (a similar product, Mounds, is marketed by Hershey's), it can be found at World Market and in the international sections of many supermarkets there.

Its television advertising has tended to feature tropical beaches with coconut palms.

In 2003, Mars registered the shape of the Bounty bar as a trademark in the European Union. This was appealed by Ludwig Schokolade, a German confectionery company. In 2009, the European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg upheld the appeal, stating "The allegedly distinctive characteristics, namely the rounded ends of the bar and the three arrows or chevrons on top of it, cannot be sufficiently distinguished from other shapes commonly used for chocolate bars".

In her book and television series Nigella Bites, Nigella Lawson includes a recipe for a deep-fried Bounty bar.

Boyer (candy company)

Boyer

Boyer is a candy company located in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The factory is located in the downtown district.

Boyer was founded during the Great Depression by brothers Bill and Bob Boyer as a means of supplementing their income. The business was originally operated from their own kitchen with their mother and sister hand-wrapping candy as Bill finished making it. Bob sold the candy door to door. Initial products included homemade fudge and nut raisin clusters, but as demand increased, they expanded their offerings and moved production to a new manufacturing facility in 1936. That year, began experimenting with covering marshmallow in chocolate and this resulted in Mallo Cups, a cup-shaped candy consisting of a whipped marshmallow creme center covered with chocolate (resembling Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which did not appear until later). They also began producing Smoothies, a peanut butter center covered with butterscotch confection, and Peanut Butter Cups, a peanut butter center covered with chocolate. The company also produced other cup candies such as Fluffernutter, a mixture of marshmallow and peanut butter covered in chocolate.

Boyer was acquired by American Maize Products in 1969, and in 1970 a new 32,000 square foot warehouse was constructed. In June 1984 American Maize sold the company to Anthony Forgione, founder of Consolidated Brands. The company still operates from its original plant in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

The Play Money program gives the consumers a "coin" printed on each cardboard package insert, ranging from five cents to one dollar. These may be redeemed by consumers for prizes from Boyer's catalog, including T-shirts, hats, mugs, free candy or a $2.00 rebate. The largest amount of play money redeemed by a single customer was $353.00 in 2006.

In 2016, Boyer was the only US chocolate maker to show a strong growth rate (20.9%), though its overall market share was relatively small compared to companies like Mars, Incorporated and The Hershey Company.

Breath Savers

Breath Savers is a brand of mint manufactured by the Hershey Company. Breath Savers were introduced in 1973 by the Life Savers Company, a division of E.R. Squibb, in limited areas, and were originally sugared. The brand became a national brand in 1978 when it replaced sugar with saccharin and became sugar-free from then on. Nabisco acquired the Life Savers Company from E.R. Squibb in 1981, and in 2000, after its merger with Kraft Foods, it sold its gum and breath mint business to Hershey. The main ingredient found in Breath Savers is sorbitol.

As the name and design suggests, Breath Savers are modeled after Life Savers, beveled at the outer edges and having a shallow depression in the center, on both sides. Each Breath Saver is counterembossed on one side with the legend "BREATH SAVER" in raised letters about 0.3 mm high in a circular pattern around the center. They are packaged in three ways:

Breath Savers are advertised as containing "Neutrazin", an ingredient claimed to neutralize and eliminate bad breath temporarily. Neutrazin is used today in several other mints and mint-like products. It is not stated which ingredients of the ingredient list (see infobox) compose Neutrazin.

Breath Savers have also begun advertising some of their mints to contain sodium bicarbonate, an alkaline salt used in many personal hygiene products as a mechanical cleanser on the teeth and gums. It also neutralises the production of acid in the mouth, and acts as an antiseptic to help prevent infections.

Bridge mix

Bridge mix

Bridge mix or Grand Slam mix is a type of snack mix or candy consisting of nuts, fruits, and "cremes" all covered in chocolate. Some common ingredients in bridge mix include peanuts, raisins, macadamia nuts, ju-jubes, malt, fruits, nougat, and licorice.

One of the major US producers of bridge mix is Brach's. Hershey Canada sells it under the name "Bridge Mixture".

Bridge mix may have been named for the card game of bridge, since bridge tournaments are notorious for providing dishes of candy and snacks at the game tables. Alternatively, See's Bridge mix may have begun as rejected candy bits that were pulled from "the bridge", a mechanical conveyor belt.

Hershey Canada's Bridge Mixture is sold in yellow boxes of 52 grams, 105 grams and 130 grams, or bags of 290 and 340 grams. The mixture includes candies coated in both milk and dark chocolate. There is no significant marketing of the product, which maintains its somewhat low profile. As of 2009^[update], the packages do not bear the Hershey logo and the product is not mentioned in the Hershey Canada website. The fine print still indicates that the product is "imported by Hershey Canada Inc." Because of its low profile, Bridge Mixture depends greatly on word of mouth marketing. The slogan for the candy is: "A delicious assortment of coated confectionery".

The mixture includes:

Mint, orange, and Irish creme flavored pieces coated in dark chocolate; peanuts, raisins, caramels, and Turkish delight coated in milk chocolate.
