M&M's is a brand of chocolate sweets produced by Mars Wrigley. The candies are small round pieces of chocolate coated with a candy shell that come in a variety of colors and flavors.
M&M's were first introduced by Forrest Mars Sr. in 1941.
Originally, the candies were only available in brown, yellow, orange, red, green, and violet.
The packaging was originally made of cardboard tubes that fit inside military soldiers' pockets.
In 1950, M&M's added the tagline 'Melts in your mouth, not in your hands'.
Over the years, M&M's have introduced a variety of new flavors, including peanut butter, almond, crispy, pretzel, and caramel.
