History of Whatchamacallit Chocolate Candy bar

in 1978 Patricia Volk was in charge of the new brand creation of Hershey. At that time she created a brand of a chocolate bar called Whatchamacallit. It’s the short form of “what you may call it” or “what you might call it”. From that name, we can say that it’s named because of the type of chocolate and its ingredients.

From 1978 to 1987 this 9 years Hershey used peanut-flavored crips and peanut butter as flavoring agents in their Whatchamacallit chocolate bar. They used chocolate coating at that time. Later from 1987 to 2008, They added an extra layer of caramel inside the chocolate coating.

Hershey released their first commercial for Whatchamacallit in 1978.

For the commercial released in 1978, Whatchamacallit became one of the top chocolate bars at that time. But Hershey did not pay much attention to this product and reduced the number of commercials. For lack of attention, Whatchamacallit started losing its popularity. In 2022 Hershey is still producing the Whatchamacallit chocolate bar.

History of Thingamajig Chocolate Candy Bar

Hershey thought people will love the new flavor of Thingamajig so they can stop the production of Whatchamacallit.

Thingamajig Candy Vs Whozeewhatzit

If you’re a fan of candy, then you’ve probably had your fair share of Thingamajig and Whozeewhatzit. But what’s the difference between these two popular brands? Thingamajig is known for its unique flavor combinations, like chocolate and mint or peanut butter and jelly.

Whozeewhatzit, on the other hand, focuses on classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla. Texture-wise, Thingamajig is usually softer and chewier than Whozeewhatzit. And when it comes to price, Whozeewhatzit is typically cheaper than Thingamajig.

Whatchamacallit Thingamajig Doohickey

When you can’t remember what something is called, you might refer to it as a “whatchamacallit,” a “thingamajig,” or a “doohickey.” These words are all used to describe an object when its name is unknown or forgotten. The word “whatchamacallit” is believed to be derived from the phrase “what do you call it?”

The first known use of the word was in print in 1859. “Thingamajig” and “doohickey” are both thought to be reduplications, which means they are formed by repeating a sound or syllable (in this case, the sound of the letter T). This type of word formation is common in English and often used for comic effect.

While these words can be used interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in meaning. “Whatchamacallit” tends to be used when referring to a general class of objects, while “thingamajig” and “doohickey” are more specific. For example, you might say, “I need a new whatchamacallit for my phone,” but if you knew the name of the item (in this case, a phone charger), you would probably say, “I need a new charger.”

So next time you can’t quite remember what something is called, don’t worry—just reach for one of these handy fill-in-the-blank words.
