How NutRageous Was Created
The NutRageous candy bar was first sold in 1994. It was designed to be a bit like the popular Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
When it was first being developed, the candy bar had a different name: Acclaim. But before it was released, focus groups (which are groups of people, often kids, who try out new products and give their opinions) liked the name "NutRageous" much more. So, the name was changed!
In 2014, the NutRageous bar was given a new name in many countries outside the United States. It became known as the "Nut Bar." The size of the bar was also made a little smaller at that time.
Different Kinds of NutRageous
In May 2018, Hershey's introduced a new version of the candy bar called "Reese's Outrageous." This new bar is similar to the original NutRageous. However, instead of roasted peanuts, it has crunchy Reese's Pieces mixed in!
