Whoppers are malted milk balls with an artificial flavored "chocolatey coating" produced by The Hershey Company.

In 1947, Overland merged with Chicago Biscuit Company, Leaf Gum, and Laf Machinery.

Finally, Hershey Foods Corporation acquired the Leaf North America confectionery operations from Huhtamäki Oyj of Espoo, Finland, in 1996.

But after the creation of cellophane wrapping machines, smaller Whoppers were packaged and sold five for one cent, also known as Fivesomes.
