M&M Trivia

Because I don't stop and buy M&MS, I think about them. I also look up random trivia to fix my chocolate desires. The following is quirky, useless information that you can file in whatever cabinet you store such knowledge:

M&M's were invented in 1940, one year into World War I.

For 11 years, from 1976 to 1987, there were no red M&Ms; this is when Bryan was four years old all the way until he was fifteen.

Blue M&Ms were introduced in 1995. That was the first year I lived in Kentucky.

There are 340 million M&M's produced daily.

M&Ms were taken along on the first space shuttle voyage in 1982. M&Ms are also part of the permanent space food exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute's National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC.
