M&M's blev lanceret i 1941 og er inspireret af soldaters ration i rygsækken under den spanske borgerkrig. For ikke at smelte i sommervarmen, var de små chokoladestykker indkapslet i en tyk skal af sukker.
M&M's er små knapper af mælkechokolade produceret af det amerikanske selskab Mars. Samme firma stod bag Milky Way bar. M&M's blev lanceret i USA i 1941 efter at Forrest Mars sr., søn af Frank C. Mars, lagde mærke til spanske soldater, som spiste små chokoladeknapper, dækket af sukker, under den spanske borgerkrig.
Da USA blev part i verdenskrigen, blev M&M's en del af de amerikanske soldaters ration, fordi M&M's er varme-resistente og nemme at bære, var de med i soldaternes rygsæk.

Many amazing discoveries and inventions are spawned from war, but did you know the hugely popular M&M's candies beloved by kids and adults of all ages around the world are one such innovation?
After clashing with his father—the creator of the Milky Way bar—for a few years at Mars Inc., Forrest Mars Sr. moved to England, where in 1932 he began manufacturing the Mars bar for troops in the United Kingdom.It was during the Spanish Civil War that Mars purportedly encountered soldiers eating small chocolate beads encased in a hard sugar shell as part of their rations. In an age when sales of chocolate typically dropped off during summer months due to the lack of air conditioning,
After the United States entered the war, the candies were exclusively sold to the military, enabling the heat-resistant and easy-to-transport chocolate to be included in American soldiers’ rations.
