大白兔奶糖
大白兔奶糖是上海冠生园出品的奶类糖果，1959年开始发售以来深受各地人民欢迎。商标是一只跳跃状的白兔，形象深入民心。
大白兔奶糖是白色、有嚼劲的圆柱形奶糖，长约3厘米、直径约1厘米，每颗用可吃的米纸包着，再用包装纸包好。每颗糖果热量20卡路里（84千焦耳）。
大白兔奶糖的前身源自1943年上海“爱皮西糖果厂”。该公司的商人尝试过当时英国的牛奶糖之后，认为味道不错，半年后便仿制出自家品牌的国产奶糖。包装则使用红色米奇老鼠的图案，并名为“ABC米老鼠糖”。由于售价比舶来品便宜，所以广受民众喜爱。直至1950年代，该糖果公司被收归国有，米奇老鼠被视为崇洋媚外的符号，于是包装图案改成白兔，并于1959年作为中华人民共和国国庆十周年的献礼产品。
起始时，制作大白兔奶糖的工厂每天只能生产800公斤，也依赖人手制作。不过由于当时物资短缺，大白兔奶糖凭着“七粒大白兔奶糖等于一杯牛奶”的宣传广告，被视为营养食品，伴随着一代人的成长。
时至今日，大白兔奶糖已经成为中国首屈一指的糖果品牌。周恩来总理甚至于1972年将大白兔奶糖馈赠访华的美国总统尼克松。该糖果品牌虽然已经有一定历史，但随着中国经济增长，城市和农村均对大白兔糖果的需求有增无减，尤其在农历新年期间，不少家庭的糖盒里都可以找到大白兔奶糖的踪影。2004年，大白兔奶糖销售额达6亿元人民币，每年以双位百分比递增，并向外出口至40多个国家和地区，包括美国、欧洲、新加坡等。
大白兔奶糖的口味和包装也不是一成不变的。资料指刚发售时，白兔图案是卧着的；其后修改成今日的跳跃状。另外除了传统的牛奶口味外，也添加了咖啡、花生、鲜果、红豆等口味，更加入富中国特色的“奶油话梅味”等。今日的奶糖经过多次改良后，主要成分包括砂糖、明胶、炼乳、奶油、奶粉等。
大白兔奶糖的商标1993年7月被中国国家工商行政管理总局、商标局认定为中国驰名商标，于1997年11月起转让至冠生园（集团）有限公司。
