# Speaking of Whore Licks Balls
THE HISTORY OF MALTEASERS
BY GAIJINTENDO

Malteasers were invented by the same people who invented Horlicks in the 1930s.

After they created the snack, they had to think of a name. The first suggestion was
"Horlics balls", which of course was discounted.

They briefly played with the idea of calling them Ball Teasers, as they were a tasty light, but moreish snack.

After a well travelled employee pointed out the issues with that name, they settled on "MALT EASERS", as they were considered to be an energy provider, and also a mild sedative (Horlicks' main function).

That quickly became malt'easers, then finally, Malteasers.

MALTEASER FACT:

Malteasers have no 'join' because they are made in zero gravity. In fact, Amercian Rocket technology was developed specifically to reduce the cost of manufacture after WW2. Known as the great Snacks Race, it spawned NASA.

The Russians developed the snack called "BROWN BALLS" in parallel.

Good night!
