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.
