I read the whole article but I am mainly going to focus on the first portion about M&M's. This also has to do with the 1940's era so I thought that it was appropriate. In 1941, Forrest Mars(candy-lovers might be familiar with the name Mars which is a big chocolate company) and Bruce Murrie(son of president of Hershey's) made a deal to create an appetizing, multi-colored, hard-shelled candy with a chocolate center. The reason Mars made a deal with Murrie is because he thought he might have a chocolate shortage after the war (which was true). So, Mars and Murrie's or M&M's were born. Best.Candy.Ever.
