                                           M&M's

The candy shells, each of which has the letter "m" printed in lower case on one side, surround a variety of fillings, including:

• milk chocolate
• dark chocolate
•  crisped rice
•  mint chocolate
• peanuts
• almonds
• orange chocolate
• coconut
•  pretzel
•  wild cherry
•  peanut butter

 M&M's originated in the United States in 1941 as a cheaper alternative to Smarties, and are now sold in over 100 countries. They are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years. The difference between the different colored M&Ms is the dye added to the outer coating.

Ever since the 1990's the Blue M&M campaign, M&M's introduced computer animated "spokescandies" in their television commercials.

• The cynical and sardonic "Red" (originally voiced by Jon Lovitz, thereafter Billy West), who is the mascot for milk chocolate M&M's
• The happy and gullible "Yellow" (originally John Goodman, thereafter J.K. Simmons), who is the mascot for peanut M&M's.
• The "cool one", Blue (originally Phil Hartman, thereafter Robb Pruitt) for almond
•  The seductive Green (Cree Summer) for peanut butter, mint, and dark chocolate (Green is the only female M&M's mascot)
• The slightly neurotic Orange (Eric Kirchberger) for other types of M&M's in general, who was initially not named after his color (for a time when he was introduced, he was known as Crispy due to his being a mascot for the Crispy M&M's, which debuted around the same time.)
• Although brown M&Ms have been around since the beginning of the candy, no brown M&M "spokescandy" was included.

Jelly beans

• Are a hard candy shell and have a gummy interior.
• The earliest known appearance of the jelly bean was during the American Civil War when William Schrafft of Boston promoted sending the candy to soldiers in the Union Army.
• It was not until 1930 that jelly beans became an easter candy, presumably from their resemblance to Easter eggs.

Sweets

Gum

Chewing gum is a type of gum traditionally made of chicle, a natural latex product, or synthetic rubber known as polyisobutylene, which is a non-vulcanisable form of the butyl rubber used for inner tubes or to line tubeless tires. For reasons of economy and quality, many modern chewing gums use rubber instead of chicle. Chicle is nonetheless still the base of choice for some regional markets, such as in Japan.

• FUN FACT= The United States military has regularly supplied soldiers with chewing gum since World War I because it helped both to improve the soldiers' concentration and to relieve stress.

Tootsie Rolls

In 1896, Leo Hirshfield, and Australian Immigrant to the United States, started a candy businnes. He wanted to make a candy based on chocolate that wouldn't melt and would be an economical artificial alternative to traditional chocolates.

He named this candy after his daughter's nickname Clara "tootsie" hirshfield.Later on he created the Tootsie Pop, this became popular in the Depression era, because of its low price. Also during World war II, Tootsie Rolls became a standard part of American soldiers' field rations due to the hardiness of the candy under a variety of environmnental conditions.

Lollipop

The lollipop was first named by George Smith, owner of a confectionery business called the Bradley Smith Company. George Smith named the stick candy after his favorite race horse Lolly Pop. It was created around the 1920's, by Samuel Born a Russian immigrant who invented a lollipop making machine. In 1916, San Francisco gave the ingenious candy maker the keys to the city for inventing the Born Sucker Machine. The machine mechanically inserted sticks into lollipops.
