The official M&M's website states the idea for M&M's came from the Spanish Civil War:"Legend has it that, while on a trip to Spain, Forrest Mars Sr. encountered soldiers who were eating pellets of chocolate encased in a hard sugary coating. This prevented it from melting. Inspired by this idea, Mr. Mars went back to his kitchen and invented the recipe for M&M'S® Plain Chocolate Candies."The chocolate that the soldiers were eating were coated to prevent chocolate from sticking to their fingers. Forrest Mars was traveling with a member of the Rowntree family,"...and Rowntree went on to make Smarties, a candy similar to M&M's."[3] After the rights were purchased by Forrest Mars Sr. and R. Bruce Murrie in 1929, 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.
It was for the founders, Mars & Murrie.
All i know is that m&m stands for mars and mars, m&ms were meant to be space food
1941
Actually, M/S stands for "motor ship", M/V stands for "motor vessel" and S/S means "steam ship". The Latter response is correct RMS on British ships refers to Royal Mail Ship. MS = Motor ship. SS = Steam Ship. In naval (military) usage USS is "United States Ship"; HMS is "Her (His) Majesty's Ship" etc.
The original M&Ms were created in 1941 and shipped overseas to American soldiers. They were only candy coated milk chocolate. The peanut variety was not introduced until 1954.
"Melts in your mouth, not in your hand" -M&Ms
ounces measure weight, m (meter) measures distance and ms (millisecond) measures time. They can't be mixed. If you meant M&M candies, the basic bag of 1.69 oz bag contains about 48 candies. Multiply that by 24.85 and you get about 1192 candies.
If 10% of plain M&Ms are blue and you have a sample of 20 M&Ms only two of them will be blue. If you need to have 15 blue M&Ms, then your sample size should be 150 M&Ms because 15 is 10% of 150.

yes, such as skittles, gummy bears, m and ms, snickers, lollipops, and various sorts
That is a great question. It's all in the presentation of the mm. If one were to find an mm with a seam, it would be not nearly as enjoyable and crunchily delicious as the seemingly seamless Candies that we do so enjoy today. M&Ms are all made individually to insure perfection. M&Ms can not have seems because things that grow don't have seems (ie. Humans) and we know from the commercials that M&Ms are living and talking. You will also note that skittles do not have seams either this is because they copied the process from the M&M company.
M&M's were created in 1940 after Forrest Mars Sr. saw Spanish soldiers eating chocolate pellets coated in sugar during the Spanish civil war. The candies were named for Mars & Murrie the business partners of the candy company.
I know the names of many candies, including Reese's Pieces, M&Ms, Mounds, Almond Joy, Candy Corn, Marshmallow Peeps, and others.
