Why are they called Milk Duds?


"In 1926, F. Hoffman & Company of Chicago set out to make perfectly round chocolate-covered caramels. The manufacturing equipment didn’t quite cooperate, however, and what came out were oval-shaped candies. A worker pronounced them “duds,” but everyone agreed they still tasted good, so the company kept producing them under the playful name. Two years later, the Holloway Company bought out Hoffman and brought Milk Duds to the masses."

I loved them. I grew up small town fee range, a block away from a neighborhood movie house. Admission was 9 cents for kids, so a dime left me with a penny change. The concession had lots of penny candies, including a tiny box of Milk Duds

I used to buy them when I went to see a movie. And, at some point, I think I switched to junior mints.

Same, always at the movies
Interesting. I thought a milk dud was a cow that couldn't feed her calf.

Sometimes a mistake in the design or manufacture process ends up being the "signature".
