M&M's were first created in 1941 by Forrest Mars Sr., son of Mars, Incorporated founder Frank C. Mars, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey Chocolate's president at the time.
The name "M&M" stands for "Mars & Murrie's," representing the surnames of the founders.
During World War II, M&M's were exclusively sold to the military as a convenient and heat-resistant ration for soldiers.
