Readers' Choice:

There is probably not a single person who, at least once in his life, has not wondered who comes up with the names of candies and what guides this someone? Even simply because some names surprise us, others seem funny, funny, and some even strange and ridiculous.

Experts from one of the Volgograd confectionery factories told a correspondent of the online newspaper “Crooked Mirror” how new candies and new names are born.

Previously, in Soviet era, when all the names of candies were in the public domain, any factory could use, well, for example, a name like “Bear in the North.” However, after the United Confectioners holding company patented all the names, all other candy manufacturers had to either buy out licenses from it, or stop producing “Soviet” confectionery products, or rename them. Now every factory, if it wants to produce candy, for example, even with a recipe similar to “Mishka in the North,” it does not have the right to do this. Only one factory has the right to produce “Mishka in the North,” so everyone else has to come up with similar names for a well-known product, because the buyer knows and loves this candy. This is how the names “Bear on the Ice” appeared, and the “Tuzik” candies became Polkanchik,” says Tatyana Dementieva, senior process engineer of the factory’s production department.

This all concerns the names of sweets that factories have been making for many years throughout the country.

New names for candies are, as a rule, the creativity of the entire team of the enterprise, the technological service. Employees can present all their ideas and names of sweets during competitions held in factories.

According to the head of the marketing department, Maria Pimkina, the main thing in this process is a person’s imagination.

“Everyone who participates in competitions comes up with, based on their own worldview, some life moments and creativity. If, for example, the competition did not give the desired result, then we turn to

agencies involved in naming, that is, developing names,” said Maria.

Next, the favorite names of confectionery products are reviewed by the artistic council of the production, and then checked for patent purity. If the name passes patent clearance, then a decision is made to patent it.

“It happens very rarely when we make a name for a product, most often it’s the other way around. The patenting process continues more than a year, and if we come up with a product and then patent its name, then it will take a very long time, but when there is good idea some candy, I don’t want to wait that long. We try to patent names that can be suitable for any type of candy,” explains Tatyana.

Manufacturers also use unusual, beautiful names in the names of sweets. female names, names of rivers, fruits, animals, birds, flowers, seasons, some events, etc. Characters from fairy tales and famous animated films are also used.

Coming up with the name of a candy, its shape and packaging can be quite simple, as, for example, in the case of the well-known Lemonchiki caramel. It is made according to the shape, color and sour taste of the fruit of the same name. Hence the logical name, and the yellow candy wrapper with green letters.

Everything about the Snowball caramel is also harmonious: the name, the color, and the taste. The candy is white, it crunches like snow, and its wrapper is made in white and blue “frosty” tones with painted snowflakes.

The popularity or success of a candy, according to experts, depends on many factors, including the packaging, although, as those with a sweet tooth say, if you like a candy, it doesn’t matter what kind of clothing it is sold in, however, it is doubly nice when your favorite delicacy is wrapped in a beautiful wrapper.

By the way, for many, candy wrappers are a collectible and there are unique collections of candy wrappers that have been collected for generations. Candy wrappers can tell a lot. They reflect the spirit of the time, people's tastes, the artist's talent, and historical events. Many works can even be called works of art.

If previously, when wrapping sweets, paper wrappers and boxes were mainly used, now the manufacturer has other types of packaging material - various types cling film, foil. In the confectionery industry, there is even such a thing as fashion - fashion in design, in packaging of candies, in terms of convenience for the buyer, in how to arrange candies on a shelf, display case, etc.

To summarize, we can note the following that there are no secrets, in particular, how and who comes up with the names of sweets, as well as in the packaging of sweets. The secret is only the recipe of the product, and if you season it with quality, you will get delicious candies.

Introduction

We all, young and old, love candy, everyone has a favorite variety. The first sweets appeared a long time ago, and since then they have only become tastier.

The word “candy” itself came into Russian from the Latin language, which meant “prepared drug”. Pharmacists were the first to use it in the 16th century for medicinal purposes. Subsequently, the term came to mean more wide circle confectionery products from different ingredients.

Rarely does a tea party go without sweets. They are a wonderful treat, add warmth and joy to any holiday, are tasty and beautiful.

When we eat candy, we throw away the candy wrappers, which, in turn, turn into garbage. Looking at the bright shiny candy wrappers, I suggested that if we used the names of the candies, we could make Russian language lessons more interesting. My project provides examples of what learned rules can be found on candy wrappers.

Purpose of the work: Analyze the names of sweets from the point of view of the Russian language.

Tasks:

1. In order to broaden your horizons and replenish your vocabulary, get acquainted with the history of the origin of sweets.

2. Consider the names of the candies and divide them into thematic groups.

3. Parse the names of candies according to their lexical meaning and morphological characteristics.

Hypothesis: The names of sweets, like other words in the Russian language, must have a lexical meaning and morphological characteristics.

1. The history of the appearance of sweets

From the very early childhood We all fall in love with this miracle, invented by man many centuries ago. It’s hard to believe, but the first sweets appeared in Egypt more than 3 thousand years ago. During excavations, pictures and notes were found that contained information about what the sweets looked like and how they were prepared. In those days, sugar was unknown to people, so honey was consumed as a sweet. And the main component of sweets in Egypt were dates. This is how the world's first candies were accidentally mixed together with dates, nuts and honey.

They also learned how to make candy in Ancient Rus'; they were made from maple syrup, molasses and honey. Many people know lollipops, but few people thought about the origin of these legendary sweets. The birthplace of candy was precisely Ancient Rus'. In Russia, candy has been around for over 500 years. We can assume that they were the very first sweets in our country. The first Russian confectioners made lollipops from molasses and honey, and they were intended for kings, boyars and nobles. Our first confectionery factory appeared in the 19th century. Today, sweets from the Red October, Rot-Front, and the factory named after are in constant demand. Babaeva, "Korkunov". In our city, candy is produced by the Yuzhuralkonditer factory.

Currently, there are many types of candies, here are some of them: caramel, toffee, chocolate, truffles, pralines, etc.

This is how long the journey is and how many different delicacies were invented before the candy acquired its familiar shape in a beautiful wrapper.

2. Candy wrapper

Wrapper - a candy wrapper that is used to wrap candy.

Nowadays it is difficult to imagine candy without a candy wrapper. Candy wrappers are like clothes for people: they protect and decorate the candy. The beauty of the candy wrapper depends on the artist who created the sketch. Every year, artists come up with bright and interesting packaging for sweets.

It seems like something interesting can be found in a candy wrapper. It turns out that he can tell us a lot, for example, he can remind us of the rules of the Russian language.

3 . Subjecttic groups of names of candies

After studying the names of the candies, I came to the conclusion that they can be divided into thematic groups.

I made six thematic groups: fairy tale, animal world, flora, natural phenomena, names of fruits, geographical names.

Below, I have drawn a diagram of these groups.

Scheme of thematic groups of candy names.

1.Flora. This group includes the names of plants and flowers: “Barberry”, “Cornflower”, “Chamomile”, “Red Poppy”, “Nuts in Chocolate”, “Mint”.

2. Titles fruit also used in names. By these names we can determine the taste of our candies: “Pineapple”, “Lemon”, “Apricot”, “Prunes in chocolate”, “Orange”.

3. Animal world. This group is represented by the names of animals and birds: “Teddy Bear”, “Swallow”, “Bear in the North”, “Squirrel”, “Cow”. vocabulary candy lexical

4. Candies, the names of which include different geographical names. By some of the names, we can easily determine the place where this candy was made: “Chelyabinskie”, “Native Spaces”, “Kuibyshevskie”, “Karakum”, “Moskvichka”.

5.SkazkA. This group is one of the most common names among Russian candies. Since candies are mainly aimed at children, the names of this group use fairy-tale heroes: “Golden Cock Cockerel”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Gulliver”, “Golden Key”, “Masha and the Bear”, etc.

6.Natural phenomena, seasons.“Spring”, “Taste of Summer”, “Meteor”, “Sea”, “Blizzard”, “Snowball”, “Sun”.

4. Russian language on candy wrappers

All the names of sweets (candy wrappers) we have considered can be classified according to the following criteria:

1. composition

2. by lexical meaning

3. according to morphological characteristics

I noticed that the names of the candies consist of one or more words. Having examined monosyllabic names, I found out that they are divided into nouns and adjectives, both singular and plural. And also, they are masculine, feminine and neuter.

Cornflower - noun, singular. h., husband r

Daisies - noun, plural. h

Mint - adjective, singular, f.r.

Lemon - adjective, plural.

Sunshine - noun, singular, s.r.

It's more fun to study vocabulary using candy wrappers. Each name contains its own meaning.

Cornflower - meadow flower

Spring is the time of year,

Meteorite - cosmic body,

There are also phrases in the names of sweets.

Most often it is a noun and an adjective:

“Golden Cockerel”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Golden Key” and others.

Less common are phrases where a noun and a noun are in the genitive case: “Taste of Summer.”

Conclusion

All the names of candies that I have studied are essentially parts of speech that we have already studied in Russian lessons.

The names are extremely varied: it can be a word or phrases.

The names of candies can be combined into thematic groups.

Each name has its own meaning.

Quite recently we were figuring out how it could happen that . But many people know that this is not the strangest name. You can also recall “Crow’s Feet”, “Cancer Cervix”, “Kara-Kum” and “Bird’s Milk” for example. Well, how could people have enough imagination to call sweet products like candy?

Ekaterina Bushmarinova will tell us about this now:

You don’t need to be a naming specialist to understand what a potential buyer expects from a name and appearance candies. Ideally, they should non-verbally convey to the buyer at least some information about the product. At the same time, the wrapper should attract attention, and the name should be positive and memorable.

Unfortunately, the last two characteristics (positivity and memorability) sometimes come into serious conflict. For example, “Kara-Kum” is literally translated as “black sand” (Turkic) and reminds of the harsh and joyless climate of the desert, while the petrel, as we all know from the work of the same name by M. Gorky, foreshadows a storm (perhaps in the stomach). “Paws”, “necks” and “bird’s milk” are too physiological, and it is not very clear what they do in candies.

Almost all of these names appeared a long time ago and are overgrown with legends.

With “Bird's Milk” everything is most obvious: the candies of the same name (filled with marshmallows, an analogue of our marshmallows, but without eggs) in the 1930s. were popular in Poland. Thirty years later, our confectioners created their own version of “Bird's Milk”, subsequently starting to use agar-agar as a gelling agent. The name was retained. For some reason, it is believed that it is connected with Aristophanes’ play “The Birds,” in which happiness is promised in the form of “milk,” “not heifers, but birds.” I read the play and had doubts. This is actually a satirical work; it is unlikely that the Poles wanted to name their candies “Supposedly Happiness.” I think that everything is simple here: the phrase “bird's milk” is a synonym for something magical, beautiful, unattainable, there is a Russian proverb: “Everything is there, except for bird’s milk.” Probably, the authors of the name of the candy wanted it to be associated with a fairy tale, with abundance, a “full cup”, the acquisition of a certain wonder, the final touch that was not enough for the fullness of life.

The Kara-Kum sweets contain wafer crumbs, they crunch on your teeth (like sand). On all the Kara-Kum wrappers you can see camels and the desert, but for some reason there are also palm trees on some, and before, they say, there were pyramids.

The version about the Ukrainian origin of the name of the candies “Radiy” (“happy”) does not stand up to criticism, the atom is drawn there! So, most likely, this name is from the conventional series “Scientific and Technological Progress,” which also includes the “Cosmic” and “Stratosphere” candies.

“Crow’s feet” and “Cancer necks” began to be produced back in the days of the “Partnership A.I. Abrikosov and Sons”, established in 1880, and in 1899 awarded the honorary title “Supplier of the Court of His Imperial Majesty” (since 1922 - Babaev Confectionery Factory, since 1998 - Babaevsky Confectionery Concern). They say that both names were invented by Alexey Abrikosov himself. The cephalothorax is the most delicious and fleshy part of the crayfish, a delicacy. Sometimes it is called the neck, sometimes the tail. Abrikosov discovered the external resemblance of the new candy to boiled crayfish neck and suggested this name. As for Houndstooth, opinions differ. There is a version that when making this delicacy, confectioners used goose fat as a thickener. But, even if this is so, the desire to immortalize this experiment in such an unusual name is questionable. Moreover, at first this same caramel was not called “Crow’s Feet” at all, but “Duck Noses”.

It is known that Alexey Abrikosov, the head of the confectionery dynasty, paid a lot of attention to promoting products, often using non-standard methods for this. Let's say, one day a newspaper "duck" appeared - a message that in one of the stores of the Abrikosov Partnership, only blondes worked as sellers, and in another - only brunettes. Everyone went to watch! And, of course, we bought a lot of sweets. Abrikosov also attached great importance to product packaging. To create candy wrappers, Abrikosov invited professional painters; the packaging workshop, where 30 people worked, was headed by the famous artist Fyodor Shemyakin. It was Abrikosov’s candy wrappers and advertising posters that were among the first to be designed in the Art Nouveau style, using floral and animalistic motifs. For example, an advertisement for Liliput marmalade (also not a very pleasant name, by the way) used an image of white hares, and a poster advertising Tsarsky marmalade featured three herons standing “knee-deep” in the water and carefully examining river water lilies.

Abrikosov came up with a way to make caramel with filling - a tube of caramel was blown out, filled with filling and cut into small pieces with a hot knife, which were sealed on both sides. Maybe the first caramels produced in this way seemed to Abrikosov to look like duck noses? Or maybe he gave the candies such a name to continue the animalistic theme in advertising and packaging.

Still, mostly sweet products are aimed at children, and children are more interested in looking at candy wrappers with images of animals and birds than with historical subjects (for which Abrikosov’s candy wrappers were also famous).

There is an intuitive design for candy packaging. For example, caramel “Limonchiki” (confectionery factory “Rot-Front”) resembles the fruit of the same name in shape, color and intensity; it contains a citrus preserve and a flavoring identical to natural “Lemon”. Logical name, yellow candy wrapper with green letters (yellow and green colors, combined together, evoke associations with sour taste). Caramel “Snowball” from the same manufacturer is white, crunches on the teeth, the wrapper is in white and blue “frosty” tones with painted snowflakes. Or caramel “Dream”, also from the Rot-Front. Of course, “dream” is an abstract concept, but it is clear that the creator of the name is simply not saying enough, but wanted to say: “Not candy, but a dream!” The image of a dream candy is successfully complemented by a pink and white “girly” candy wrapper. From chocolates You might remember “Golden Domes”, dome-shaped candies in gold foil.

But, alas, “Truffle” sweets are also made in the shape of a dome (or mushroom), while the first real French truffle sweets from a creamy “ganache” mass, consisting of chocolate and cream, were made in the shape of a not ideal ball - and so named precisely because of their external resemblance to the most expensive mushroom - the truffle, which for a long time was considered a dish available only to very rich people. The cap of the truffle mushroom is not at all similar to the cap of our Truffle candies!

The emergence of a number of strange and sometimes simply curious names for candies resulted from the adoption of amendments to the trademark law in 2008, as a result of which the right to use the “old” names remained only with the capital’s United Confectioners holding company. All other candy manufacturers had to either buy out licenses from the United Confectioners, or stop producing “Soviet” confectionery products, or rename them. You can read about this in the article “Naming in Russian”.

And now “Uralkonditer” produces “Umelochka” candies in the familiar “Belochka” candy wrapper.

The Kazan factory "Zarya" renames "Bird's milk" to "Bird-warbler-warbler". JSC "Primorsky Confectioner" now produces "Vasyok" sweets instead of "Vasilyok" sweets, and "Krasny Mag" instead of "Red Poppy". And “Bear Clubfoot”, performed by the Novosibirsk confectionery factory “Lyubava”, turned into candies “Brother has arrived from the North”, and on a wrapper created at one time for “Einem” by industrial artist Emmanuil Manuylov based on Ivan Shishkin’s painting “Morning in a Pine Forest” , next to the brown bears there is now a white bear...

Moreover, the “United Confectioners” apparently also divided the “old names” among themselves, otherwise it is difficult to explain why “Cockerel - the Golden Comb” “remained” with “Red October”, and the “Babaevsky” concern (Penza Confectionery Factory) produces candies of a similar recipe with a frightening pseudo-folklore name “Cockerel - butter head”.

The confectionery factory “AtAg” (IP Yu. A. Atomyan) (Sheksna, Vologda region) amazes with the variety of candy packaging and the unbridled imagination of the authors of their names. For example, this company produces candies in chocolate glaze with a creamy filling with the addition of halva and sunflower seeds in a cute pale yellow and brown wrapper with sunflowers on it. And these candies are called “Light of the Soul”! The name personally gives me an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, it is sunny, of course. On the other hand, it seems to me that it should be avoided in the names of food products, i.e. objects of potential internal use, words such as “soul”, “God”, “Universe”, etc.

However, the same AtAg factory also has completely unexpected names for candies - “Mama Zhenya”, “Stoker Petya” (in shiny candy wrappers that vary in color depending on the taste of the candy, and they come in coconut, sesame, orange flavors, etc.) chocolate, etc.) and the shocking “Bite of a Woman.” Of course, it is difficult to consider the word “Force Majeure” to be a good name for sweets (force majeure means force majeure circumstances, for example, natural disasters that prevent the parties from fulfilling contractual obligations). However, AtAg produces a line of such sweets. What does it sound like: “Force majeure with the taste of “Custard”!”
