Uh, and he, uh, had a customer in Harrisburg and they were getting peanut butter balls, chocolate, peanut butter balls, and they were with chocolate.

Uh, they were around.

and they couldn't keep them in supply, and my grandfather agreed to take on the job of doing that.

And what he found is that if you put it in a cup, it speeds up the production.

You have to understand, in his day, there was no air conditioning, so he couldn't do production in the summertime.

He had to can vegetables.

So there was no air conditioning, and there was no automation, so everything was done by hand.

So the peanut butter cup, just the cup shape,

was a production decision.

And when the air conditioning came in and when things started becoming automated, it just took off.

But what really happened was his candies were sold in department stores in one-pound or five-pound assortments.

So it was almost like a Whitman sampler or Russell Stover.

And the peanut butter cups were just one of the many.

Okay.

You know, peanuts, clusters and coconut, but the peanut butter cups were just one of many.

And customers would say, I just want the peanut butter cups.

So the salespeople would have to take the peanut butter cups out of the box and, you know, put them on the way.

And, and they sell them, but then they had to replace the peanut butter cups.

And that was a, you know, that made extra work.

Yeah.
