Just about everyone in the United States loves M&Ms. They are simply one of the most classic candies that exist — it’s hard to imagine any other candy that has quite the same stature.
When people think of chocolate, they think of M&Ms, even if they have another favorite candy bar that they like better. And why not? M&Ms have been around since 1941!
Want to know some other fun M&M facts?
M&Ms are sold in about 100 countries all around the world, not just in the United States.
M&Ms were inspired by a technique to help soldiers carry chocolate without melting it.
Blue M&Ms replaced tan ones in 1995 after Mars, Inc. held a vote among the public.
In commercials, green and brown M&Ms are female, while the other colors are male.
Even though most folks like M&Ms, peanut M&Ms sometimes get a bum rap. It’s not unknown for some people to totally avoid peanut M&Ms — but for Shemar, no other kind of M&M will do.
If you were to visit the home of Shemar Moore, it’s likely that you would find at least one bowl of peanut M&Ms in the living room or the dining area. Having some M&Ms around helps to connect with the energy and exuberance of childhood — M&Ms have always been a favorite.
Even though you shouldn’t eat too much candy, Shemar admits to enjoying a snack of a handful of peanut M&Ms every now and then throughout the day. The peanut in the M&Ms adds some additional protein, which helps raise energy levels before and after a stint on set.
Shemar is also something of an M&M aficionado, who always makes sure that he tries out the limited edition and “holiday only” flavors as they come and go. Some of these are very rare!
Do you have a favorite candy of your very own? Whatever it is, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy it every now and then. No matter whether you like M&Ms, Hersey’s Kisses, Butterfingers, or York Peppermint Patties, a little candy now and then is a great way to have fun and relax. Shemar approves!
