Mickey,
Please review the key points from the article.
1. What do the Ms on M&M's stand for and how do they get them on there?
- What is the meaning of the letter M?
- How do Ms appear on the candy?
2. Business partners Forrest Mars and Bruce Murrie founded M&M's.
- Mars & Murrie = M&M's
3. Eventually, Mars bought Murrie's 20% interest in the company, and therefore, he became the sole owner of M&M's. Once the change occurred in ownership, the name of the candy did not change. The name of the candy still kept both letters.
4. Starting in 1950, the letters M&M's were printed on the candy.
5. Offset printing is the method in which the letters M&M's are printed on the candy.
Thank you,

1) Confectionery lore
- what is lore? Confectionery is cookies and a series of snacks and so on, right?
2) Mars noticed treats frequently placed in soldiers’ rations
- what does treats mean? and what is rations?
3) Mars sought out another son of a famed candy man to put his own spin on the Spanish candies.
- What is shell and what is spin?
4) Hershey had struck a deal with the Army in 1937...
- what is 'had struck a deal with'?
5) The partners Mars and Murrie dubbed their new candy with their initials...
- dub is put M two times?
6) Leaving Their Mark
- Mark is M&M but they didn't leave it out. why did the writer titling 'leaving their Mark' like this?
7) the Ms are applied to M&M's in a process that Mars Inc. describes as “akin to offset printing.”
- M&M's is the product that two company first produced together?
8) Blank M&M's sit on a special conveyor belt that has a dimple for each candy to sit in, and roll through a machine where
vegetable dye is transferred from a press to a rubber etch roller that gently prints the M on each piece.
- Can you elaborate on it?
9) Some candies make it off the line M-less, but Mars doesn’t consider these rejects.
- What is 'make it off the line...'? Mars doesn't consider these rejects means Mars doesn't care even though some candies
are not inprinted as M&M on? It's okay even if they find some candies which don't have M&M letter on them?
10) the machine is set up to let some blanks slip through rather than mark every one and break some candy shells
in the process.
- Machine is not perfecting printing M&M letters on every candy? Is the famous product a candy or chocoball or something?
- What is that prodcut which hit the jackpot on the market in that era?
Best regards,
Mickey
