The "Pal-o-Mine" Story
In 1920, an old candy maker was asked to produce a chocolate bar to take along on fishing trips.
The result was a centre of yellow fudge and coconut covered with Ganong's Best chocolate and peanuts.
The company's intention was to keep the bar in production long enough to pay for the development. In fact, they didn't even bother to go to the expense of printing a wrap for it; the new see-through wrap, cellophane, that had arrived from France would be fine.
Little did they realize the bar's success...
The company believed the name contributed to its success...
It implied loyalty, faithfulness. Almost 83 years later, Pal-o-mine is still a favorite!
