M&M’sM&M'S® Chocolate Candies were first sold in 1941, and soon became a favorite of the American GIs serving in World War II. Packaged in cardboard tubes, they were sold to the military as a convenient snack that traveled well in any climate. By the late 1940s, they were widely available to the public, who gave them an excellent reception. In 1948, their packaging changed from a tube form to the characteristic brown pouch we know today. Probably the most famous candy treat in the world, the snack sized pieces of chocolate (and peanuts) in a candy shell are instantly recognizable all over the globe. M&M’s is the biggest chocolate brand in the world!In 1981, M&M'S® Chocolate Candies were chosen by the first space shuttle astronauts to be included in their food supply. M&M'S® Chocolate Candies are now on permanent display at the space food exhibit of the National Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C.
