Fun Fact of the day

M&M's were initially made for the US military after Forrest Mars Sr. (the son of Mars founder Franklin Clarence Mars) traveled in Europe during the Spanish Civil War and observed soldiers eating chocolate pellets covered in a sugar shell. He returned to the States and perfected it by 1941 before selling it to the US military. By 1947, it was commercially available to the public and has been popular ever since then.
