The Overland Candy Company introduced a malted milk candy
product called Giants in 1939. In 1947, Overland merged with
Chicago Biscuit Company, Leaf Gum and Leaf Machinery.
Leaf Brands reintroduced malted milk balls in 1949 under the
name of Whoppers.
WHOPPERS were first sold unwrapped, two for one cent.
After the creation of cellophane wrapping machines, smaller
WHOPPERS were packaged in cellophane and sold five for
one cent. These were called "Fivesomes." Soon after, Leaf
introduced the first confectionery milk carton package. In the
early 70s, different flavors were tried and sometime between
1949 and 1952 an egg-shaped WHOPPERS malted milk candy
was introduced for Easter.
