A History of M&M’s
M&M’s got their start with Mars. Forrest Mars Sr, who managed the Mars candy company, got the idea for M&Ms while working in Europe in the 1930s. He was overseeing production of Mars candy bars as a part of army rations. Forrest discovered soldiers liked to eat sugar coated chocolate so it wouldn’t melt as fast. So upon returning to the states, Forrest Mars worked with Bruce Murrie and created M&Ms (Mars and Murrie)
Some fun facts about M&Ms…
Initially M&Ms were exclusive to the US Army.
The M on the candies was added to distinguish themselves from the copycat competitors.
M&Ms were the first candy in space.
The movie ET was supposed to feature M&Ms but Mars declined and Reese’s Pieces were put in the movie instead, resulting in a 65% sales increase for Hershey.
There are over 400 million produced each day.
