You know, that's not a common sight.

So it really is so much fun.

I mean, I can't, I can't stress that it's, it's fun, fun, fun.

Uh, well, uh, a lot of things happen.

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 you can 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 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

just the cup shape was a production decision.

And as Eric, when the air conditioning came in and when automation, 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.

He had 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 put them on the way and they'd sell them, but then

they had to replace the peanut butter cups.

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

So the salesperson said, what's HB?

They called him HB.
