The name Bosco was derived from the similar name for Boscul Coffee sold by the William S. Scull Company which also initially distributed Bosco chocolate syrup manufactured by the Wallerstein Company using a unique enzymatic conversion process invented by one of its chemists. Wallerstein kept the name on taking over marketing and later copyrighted the "Bosco Jingle" (I Love Bosco). In the mid-1950's, Bosco was sold to Corn Products Company. In 1985, the brand was taken over by Bosco Products, Inc., an independent company based in Towaco, New Jersey.
