Question
In 1995, Mars Incorporated ran a fun contest called the M&M’s Color Campaign
Contest. During this contest, people were allowed to vote for what they wanted
the new color of M&M to be. The choices were purple, blue, and pink. Blue
received the most votes from participants, which is why the blue M&M exists in all
bags of regular M&Ms today. The winning color was announced on the hilarious talk
shows of David Letterman and Jay Leno, as well as on many other news programs.

Skittles were first invented in 1974 by a British company. Due to their sales in Britain,
they were introduced to the United States five years later. The flavors that were
introduced to Americans in 1979 are the same great-tasting flavors that are still in all
original Skittles bags today. Those flavors are strawberry, orange, lemon, lime, and
the best flavor of all, grape. It wasn’t until 1989 that new flavors of Skittles, such as
banana, kiwi, raspberry, and blueberry, were invented.

Question
When the much-loved Sour Patch Kids were first created, they were called Mars
Men. Mars Men were designed to look like aliens since there were UFO sightings
around the time that they were invented. Mars Men could be purchased for the
cheap price of one penny a piece. The name for Mars Men changed to Sour Patch
Kids in the 1980s. The idea for the new name was inspired by the name of
everyone’s favorite toy at that time: Cabbage Patch Kids.

Question
The world’s largest package of two regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups weighs one
pound. That means that each Reese’s Cup inside of the package weighs a half
pound. That’s the same weight as a large apple! Each half-pound Reese’s Cup
comes in a plastic cup, which can hold more weight than the wax paper that
comes around a regular Reese’s Cup. People who want to eat healthily should
avoid these gigantic Reese’s Cups at all costs.

Question
The Snickers candy bar was the second candy bar to be sold by Mars Incorporated.
The idea for the Snickers bar came from a delicious snack made of peanuts,
nougat, and caramel, which people already enjoyed. Frank Mars added
chocolate around the three ingredients and put it into candy bar form. The Snickers
bar became one of the world’s top-selling candy bars. Annual sales of Snickers bars
worldwide total over two billion dollars.

Question
The original Twix bar contains a butter cookie, a layer of caramel, and milk
chocolate around the entire bar. It is a combination of flavors that people cannot
resist. Interestingly, the name for Twix comes from the combination of two words,
twin sticks. Since its invention, Mars Incorporated has experimented with new flavors
of Twix such as orange, coffee, cookies and cream, and mint, in order to improve
sales. These flavors are not nearly as tasty as the original Twix bar.

Located in Pennsylvania, Y&S Candies Incorporated makes Twizzlers. On an
average day, the Y&S plant cooks up more than 500,000 pounds of these yummy
candies. During production, the melted candy gets squirted through star-shaped
nozzles. These nozzles twist right as the melted candy comes through, which gives
each Twizzler its interesting shape. Rumor has it that when the wind blows, motorists
driving on Route 30 with their windows open can smell the plant’s sweet aroma.

If you ever visit Japan, you should be sure to try some of their exciting varieties of Kit
Kat bars. Nestle, the maker of the Kit Kat bar, has made dozens of interesting flavors
to sell there. In Japan, people can purchase Kit Kat flavors such as candied sweet

foods that people eat regularly in Japan.
