Ferrara Candy Company

Ferrara Candy Company

The Ferrara Candy Company is an American candy manufacturer owned by the private equity firm Catterton Partners. The company was formed from a 2012 merger of the Illinois-based Ferrara Pan Candy Company and Minnesota-based Farley's & Sathers Candy Company. Ferrara's product line combines the long-established brands of Ferrara Pan Candy, such as Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, and Original Boston Baked Beans, with those of Farley's & Sathers, such as Brach's, Chuckles, Jujyfruits, and Now and Later.

The Ferrara family had been bakers in Italy. Salvatore Ferrara emigrated from Nola to New York in 1900. In 1908, he opened a bakery at 772 W. Taylor, in the heart of Chicago's "Little Italy" neighborhood. He sold candy-coated almonds known as "confetti" (or Jordan almonds), a popular treat at Italian weddings.

When candy sales became greater than pastries, Ferrara partnered with two brothers-in-law, Salvatore Buffardi and Anello Pagano. They built a two-story brick building at 2200 W. Taylor and began producing a variety of panned candies. The second floor of the building was devoted to the revolving kettles that produced the pan candy, with all of the machines being driven by a giant wheel. The candy was dropped to the shipping department below through a hole in the floor.

The private equity firm Catterton Partners, owner of Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, arranged the 2012 deal whereby that well-established confectioner would merge with the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. Although Ferrara Pan Candy was only about half the size of Farley's & Sathers, the new company was christened as the Ferrara Candy Company, and was placed under the leadership of Ferrara Pan Chief Executive Salvatore Ferrara II. Catterton Partners remains the majority investor in the combined company.

Fluffernutter

Fluffernutter sandwich

A fluffernutter is a sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff usually served on white bread. Variations of the sandwich include the substitution of wheat bread and the addition of various sweet, salty and savory ingredients. The term fluffernutter can also be used to describe other food items, primarily desserts, that incorporate peanut butter and marshmallow fluff.

The sandwich was first created in the early twentieth century after marshmallow creme, a sweet marshmallow-like spread, was invented in Massachusetts. During World War I, a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich, the earliest known example of the sandwich, was published. The term “fluffernutter” was created by an advertising agency in 1960 as a more effective way to market the sandwich.

The sandwich is particularly popular in New England and has been proposed as the official state sandwich of Massachusetts.

A fluffernutter is made by spreading peanut butter on a slice of bread, then spreading an equal amount of marshmallow fluff on another slice and finally combining them to form a sandwich. Variations of the recipe include wheat bread instead of white,Nutella hazelnut spread instead of or in addition to peanut butter, and the addition of sweet ingredients like bananas or savory and salty ingredients like bacon. The Fluffernutter itself is often seen as a variation on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Though often seen as a food for children, the Fluffernutter recipe has been adapted to appeal to adult tastes. For example, a New York caterer serves a Fluffernutter hors d'oeuvre in a toasted ice cream cone with a spoon of peanut butter and torched marshmallow fluff on top.

Answer 5

Fizzer

Fizzers are a "fruity, chewy, & fizzy" candy sold primarily in South Africa. They are one of the products produced by Beacon Sweets & Chocolates and are available in six flavors.

The candy itself is a hard/chewy candy depending on its temperature. While chilled, or merely not warmed, the candy is a hard, brittle consistency that will give off more of the "fizzing" that the candy can cause while being eaten. While warm though the candy is much like the American candy Air Heads; it loses some of the fizz while soft but is a lot easier to eat which can be more enjoyable.

There are five primary flavors of Fizzers and three others (harder to find). The primary five are cream soda, Bluebuzz, strawberry, raspberry and apple, the other three are orange, grape and cola.

Bluebuzz is a flavor that has a slight taste of berries but it is hard to say which exactly, it is also the flavor that has the most fizz to it. Cream soda often confuses Americans when offered because they imagine cream soda to taste like A&W Cream Soda but this flavor does not have much of a vanilla taste to it, although it is creamy tasting.

As mentioned before, Fizzers are similar to Air Heads or comparable chewy candies such as Laffy Taffy. Another candy that is produced by Beacon that shares the "fizz" title is Fizz pops which are a flavored lollipop with sherbet in the middle that starts to fizz out of the side of the lollipop when it starts to wear down.

Frango

Frango mints are a brand of chocolate truffles first created for the Frederick & Nelson department stores. Traditionally flavored with mint and widely popularized by the Marshall Field and Company department store, they are now produced and distributed by Macy's department stores. Frango is also the brand name of a line of various other related food products.

Historically associated with the Midwestern and Pacific Northwest regions of the United States, the candy is sold in various outlets throughout the country. Frangos were created by Seattle, Washington's Frederick & Nelson department store in 1918; the company and Frango trademarks were both acquired by Chicago's Marshall Field's department store, which introduced its recipe in 1929. Frango mints were produced in large melting pots on the 13th floor of the flagship Marshall Field's store on State Street for 70 years.

The origins of Frango mints go back to 1918, according to a trademark document from the U.S. Patent Office. Originally, the Frango was the name for a frozen dessert sold at the sophisticated Tea Room at Frederick & Nelson's department store, at Sixth Avenue and Pine Street in Seattle, Washington. The first Frango frozen dessert was available in maple and orange flavors. There are a few different theories as to the origins of the Frango name. One theory is originated by the combination of "Fr" from Frederick’s and the "ango" from the word tango. Employees trained at Frederick and Nelson were taught that the name was an acronym for FRederick And Nelson COmpany. The C was changed to a G since Franco suggested a different meaning. Some have also said that Frango is a portmanteau for FRederick And Nelson GOodness.

Frisk (confectionery)

Product type Confectionery Owner " >Frisk

Frisk is the name of a line of breath mint candies produced by Frisk International and distributed worldwide by Perfetti Van Melle. Frisk mints are small, pellet-like mint candies contained in a plastic cartridge.

Frisk was invented in 1986 by a Belgian entrepreneur who, in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company, developed the formula for a particularly strong mint-flavoured candy. Initially, the product was sold exclusively in pharmacies in Belgium, then the market was extended to the Netherlands, Canada and Japan. Especially in the latter country, Frisk gained considerable success, to the point that in 1996 it became the first imported product to obtain recognition as the "Best Food Product of the Year" in Japan. Since 1995, the brand has been distributed by Perfetti Van Melle.

In the Japanese television show Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!, comedian Endō Shōzo performs a running gag during their "Absolutely Tasty" cooking segments, into which he adds Frisk candies, hoping to obtain a sponsorship with Frisk by using their product. Instead of enhancing the dishes he creates, it often leads to hilarious results.

Answer 10

Fruit by the Foot

Fruit by the Foot is a fruit snack made by General Mills (GM) in the brand line Betty Crocker. It was introduced in 1991 in North America and is still in production.

Fruit by the Foot is very similar to GM's Fruit Roll-Ups in its presentation of being rolled up within itself, but differs in taste, dimension and consumption methods. The similarity in name and concept is such that many people sometimes mistakenly refer to Fruit by the Foot as "Fruit Roll-Ups" and vice versa. The snack is approximately 3 feet (0.91 m) long, and has a loop at the end. Current marketing slogans include "3 Feet of Fun!" In the early 1990s, Fruit by the Foot came with stickers that kids put on their lunch boxes to show they had eaten Fruit by the Foot. It is also very similar to Kellogg's Fruit Winders sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Sugar, in multiple forms, is the major ingredient of Fruit by the Foot, as it makes up 9 grams of each 21 gram serving. Of the top four ingredients in each Fruit by the Foot, 3 of them are sweeteners (corn syrup, maltodextrin, and ordinary sugar). Artificial colors and flavors are used to synthesize the various flavors that Fruit by the Foot offers; for example, the strawberry variety contains no actual strawberries. Meanwhile the British equivalent, Kellogg's Fruit Winders, contains real strawberry purée and uses plant-based colorants.

Fruit by the Foot contains no protein, fiber, iron, calcium, or Vitamin A.

Since the 1990s, the paper backing has been printed with games, jokes, or trivia facts - though not all flavors have it, such as 'Rippin Berry Berry', and 'Berry Tie-dye'.
