Question: are m&ms made by hershey?
Answer: THE TWO M'S STAND FOR “MARS” AND “MURRIE.” Murrie received a 20% stake in the company, and for several years M&M's were made using Hershey's chocolate. The two M's didn't see eye-to-eye on the company's direction, however, so in 1949 Mars bought out Murrie for $1 million and took control.
