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.

How many m and ms equal 42 ounces?

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.


How do you solve this 10 percent of m nd m plain candies are blue if a sample of 20 m nd ms is randomly selected find P of it will be more than 15 blue 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.

Why are there no seams on the M and M candies?

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.


Why are m ms called m and ms?

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.
