May you have a fun filled Friday!!
Joey wants to share some information about M&M’s with
you. M&M’s are multi-colored round chocolates with a hard candy coated
shell. M&M’s were invented by Forrest Edward Mars Sr. who got the idea from
watching soldiers eat round chocolate candies during the Spanish Civil war. The
M&M’s plain chocolate candy was first made in 1941 in a factory in Newark,
New Jersey. M&M’s were a ration for the Untied States Military.
Facts about M&M’s:

was the founder of Mars, Inc.
2. While Forrest Mars was in Europe, he worked for Nestle

6. When Forrest Mars returned to the United States he
