Mars & Murrie Named after Frank Mars and William Murrie

M&M's, one of the most popular candies in the United States, were originally an import from England called Smarties. Forrest Mars Sr. 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. By World War II, American soldiers were given the candy by the United States Army because they were a convenient snack that traveled well in any climate; soon after this it was marketed to the public. M&M's soon became a hit because, in those times when air conditioning was not usually found in stores, homes, or the automobile, melting chocolate candy bars were a problem; but with M&M's, the candy's coating kept the chocolate from getting messy. - more on wikipedia.com Here some more m&m's M&M refers or referred to: M&M's, a chocolate assortment of candy Men & Motors, a British TV channel, owned by ITV plc M&M Meat Shops, a Canadian company Might and Magic, a series of computer role-playing games the Merchants and Manufacturers Association Eminem, a rapper A trademark of an Indian automobile company Mahindra and Mahindra Limited Morbidity & Mortality conference Martha and the Muffins, a Canadian pop band Morrissey - Mullen, a British band McClintic-Marshall House, a Lehigh University living unit
