Chocolate in bar form, from it's humble production years at the turn of the century, has gone hand-in-hand with military rations throughout history. From the America's first World War
W , when soldiers were given chocolate bars in abundance, as a cheap source of energy and nourishment. The unfortunate thing about chocolate is on it's own is most definitely guaranteed to meld into a puddle of chocolaty goo in the palm of your hand, or if carried close to your body too long.
During the
Spanish Civil War , an innovator of Mars candy company saw Spaniard soldiers had been given chocolate encased in a sugary coating, which kept the chocolate from liquefying in the hot sun - which led to the development of the first M&Ms and a patent filed March 3, 1941, with actual production of the first M&Ms sold to consumers in paper tubes . M&Ms have been known the world over.

Recently M&Ms have launched a very cool site,
so that you can create a campaign of custom
m&ms.
From birthdays to weddings - you choose from
22 colors and a variety of fonts to get your
perfect message on that candy coating.
The ordering process is very simple you choose
your colors,font and type in your message.
Once you have selected all the custom info,
you can see a dynamic demo in flash giving
you an idea of what your m&ms will look
like, featuring your colors & message.
Not only is there custom printing options
for the
home consumer - But for
businesses
as well.
I went ahead and ordered some for my husband's organization. He holds an elected office position and using the
faces-on-m&ms option, I chose the organizations colors, then put his face on one side and his office title on the other side. The process is just as easy as the basic custom message - Upload your picture, crop it if you want a closer image, then their site techs will get the image resized so that it has the best appearance on the m&ms. I also ordered some basic m&ms with my
personalized message.
I really liked the interactivity of m&ms site. It's a really neat service. Great for making an event even more special, or for advertising your business or organization.
