Where it comes from
M&M's were created by Forrest Mars Sr and Bruce Murrie, the son of the president of Hershey, and the two Ms stand for their surnames. The plain ones came out in the United States in 1941, and the peanut version followed in 1954, at first only in tan. Forrest Mars is said to have been allergic to peanuts himself.
