Did you know?
M&Ms were invented in 1941 for soldiers, so the chocolate wouldn’t melt in their hands.
The name “M&M” stands for Mars & Murrie, the founders.
- Chocolate-coated candies are often polished with shellac, a shiny wax made from secretions of the lac bug.
- Some red-colored versions (especially in older or non-U.S. formulations) used carmine, a pigment made from crushed cochineal insects.
A single pack contains a carefully planned mix of colors, not a random assortment.
M&Ms have expanded into varieties like peanut, crispy, pretzel, and more.

- High in sugar, which may contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes.
