#34: BB Bats Candies

Originally crafted by Fair Play Caramels, Inc., BB Bats distinguished themselves from the similar Sugar Daddy candies by offering a hard taffy delight affixed to a stick in an array of tasty flavors, including Banana, Strawberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate. These unique treats presented a delicious blend of hardness and chewiness that captured the hearts of candy lovers.

Debuting in the 1920s and officially trademarked in 1926, BB Bats cleverly embraced a baseball motif—resembling miniature bats and sometimes even featuring baseball players on the packaging. This thematic design and strategic advertising focusing on America’s beloved baseball culture allowed these candies to carve out a special place in the hearts of fans, even making their way into some baseball stadiums.
