Forrest Mars invented the recipe for M&Ms chocolate during the Spanish Civil War. Mars saw soldiers eating pieces of chocolate covered with a hard sugary coating. The coating preventing the candy from melting in the hot sun. Forrest Mars received a patent for his manufacturing process on March 3, 1941.
M&M's were introduced in 1941 .
The minus, negative, or subtraction symbol is derived from a tilde written over "m" that used to be used to indicate subtraction. It might also be a shorthand version of the "m" itself.
Forrest Mars created the recipe for this candy after observing how soldiers during the Spanish American War had chocolate candies covered in a hard coating to prevent their melting. He received a patent for M and M's in 1941. This was the year this candy was officially introduced to the public.
It is not completely clear. Other signs were used for the negative sign, such as the letter m for minus. In fact, in 1484 Chuquet used the m for minus. I will provide a great link with lots more info on the history of negative numbers.
