History of M&Ms

M&M's is a popular chocolate all around the world and is sold in most countries. This week we have been looking at the history of M&M's with Mr Johnson (substitute teach - aka principal). We have discovered a lot of information such as; Every single M&M are sold to more than 4 million people are manufactured in the United States. It is said that the owner off M&M's who's name is Mars got the idea from soldiers who were eating a lenti-shaped chocolate during the Spanish civil war. Researching about M&M's was also part of math task since we talked about the ratio for the colors of the m&m's that is found in a packet. People had different results but the numbers that were common were 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56. We were all surprised because we though that every m&m packet had the same amount of m&m's and and there were equal amount of colors. This helped me learn something new I didn't know about.
