A DENTIST INVENTED COTTON CANDY

THE TWO M'S IN M&M’S STAND FOR MARS AND MURRIE



IT TAKES LICKING MACHINES (YES, THEY’RE A REAL THING) ANYWHERE FROM 364 TO 411 LICKS TO REACH THE CENTER OF A TOOTSIE POP

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS EATING TOO MUCH CANDY



IT'S NOT CHOCOLATE BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF WAFER IN A KIT KAT BAR

EVERY DAY, 64 MILLION TOOTSIE ROLLS ARE MADE



IT USED TO TAKE 27 HOURS TO MAKE ONE PEEP
