M & M's

I do

There are many, but the main factory is in Hershey, PA.

Forrest Mars Sr. (the creator of M&Ms) saw soldiers during the Spanish Civil War eating chocolate pellets that were coated in sugar to prevent chocolate from sticking to their fingers.After the rights were purchased by Americans Forrest Mars Sr. and R. Bruce Murrie in 1939, they had to reintroduce them to the domestic market with a different name because there was already a candy product sold in the U.S. under the name Smarties. To identify their new brand, they combined the first initials of their last names: M & M. M&M's were first sold in the United States in 1941.

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.

M and M's are made from milk chocolate and sugar.

In the United States the Mars Company makes over 400,000,000 M&M's everyday!

That comes out out to almost 17,000,000 every hour and almost 4,700 M&Ms in a second!
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the time it took you to read this they just made 51,700 more M&Ms!
