HISTORY Crows were invented in the 1890s by confectioners Ernest Von Au and Joseph Maison. The Black Crows trademark was registered in 1911 http://grutch.home.pipeline.com/crows.htm. Originally, Crows were to be called "Black Rose," but the printer misheard the name as "Black Crows" and printed wrappers with the wrong name on themhttp://www.tootsie.com/dots.html. In 1972 , Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the Crows brand by purchasing the Mason Division of Candy Corporation of America. TRIVIA Crows are not really black, but an extremely dark green.
