1. One M&M chocolate can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to make.

2. The M&M's factory in Hackettstown, New Jersey produces nearly half of all the M&M's in America--that's more than 10 million M&M's every single day.

3. The most popular candy in the world, M&M's are sold in more than 100 countries and available in 22 eye-popping colors.

4. When M&M's were first launched in 1941, they were actually first used as rations for the soldiers during World War II.

5. The first M&M's package was not the bag that you know today. It was the cardboard tube, that made it easier for the soldiers to use, to consume.
