Franklin Clarence Mars


As June comes to an end, we want to remind you that there are only five more days to celebrate National Candy Month with your favorite confections and pre-wrapped sweets.

When Franklin Clarence Mars made his Milky Way candy bar popular circa 1926, it was a 5-cent indulgence. He had founded Mar-O-Bar Co. in Minneapolis in 1920 and went on to give us other such checkout-line staples as Snickers, M&Ms, and Extra gum. In 2005, Americans consumed more than 200 million Milky Ways. Kudos, Mr. Mars. Kudos.


You're welcome.

Love,

Minnesota.
