Crows (candy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crows are a licorice candy similar in shape and texture to Dots.
[edit] History
Crows were invented in the 1890s by confectioners Ernest Von Au and Joseph Maison. The Black Crows trademark was registered in 1911[1]. Originally, Crows were to be called "Black Rose," but the printer misheard the name as "Black Crows" and printed wrappers with the wrong name on them[2].
In 1972, Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the Crows brand by purchasing the Mason Division of Candy Corporation of America.
[edit] Trivia
Crows are not really black, but an incredibly dark green
