The Baby Ruth bar was infamously featured in a scene in the movie Caddyshack when, during a pool party, several people not in the pool were fighting over a Baby Ruth bar when it slips in the pool with its wrapper off. Thinking someone had defecated in the pool due to the bar's uncanny resemblance to human feces, everyone makes a mad scramble out of the pool. When Bill Murray's character is cleaning out the pool afterward and recognizes it as a Baby Ruth bar, he takes a bite out of it, much to the disgust of the owners of the country club (Ted Knight and Lois Kibbee), who still believe it to be feces.
Baby Ruth was also used in the American Film The Goonies by Chunk to befriend Sloth and eventually save the day, as well as featuring in the love song "A Rose and a Baby Ruth."
In the movie Hellboy, a Baby Ruth bar is used to lure and mollify the infant Hellboy when he is discovered after the destruction of the Nazi portal.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or media:
“You seem to think that I am adapted to nothing but the sugar-plums of intellect and had better not try to digest anything stronger.... a writer of popular sketches in magazines; a lecturer before Lyceums and College societies; a dabbler in metaphysics, poetry, and art, than which I would rather die, for if it has come to that, alas! verily, as you say, mediocrity has fallen on the name of Adams.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
