Back in 2013, Butterfinger celebrated it's 90ish celebration.
Note that the celebration is for the candy not when it was bought by Nestle.
In this regard, Butterfinger is a 1920s candy. One that's cemented in the history of candy making. It's old and it's still alive.
If we go by the year 1923, Butterfinger is 95ish this year. And I don't think it's going away any time soon. So expect that it will be a centenarian candy by the year 2023.
History
Butterfinger has the Nestle logo. But it didn't start from Nestle.
Curtis Candy Company was the first company to create such a treat and it was a popular candy along with Baby Ruth. Let's not forget the name Drew Seibold of Florence, Wisconsin, the inventor.
Butterfinger is actually sports-related. It refers to someone who can't hold on to a ball.
How's that for a chocolate-covered peanut-brittle crips. Thanks, Drew.
If you ever go to Dairy Queen, try the Butterfinger Blizzard.
