From their caramel chocolates to their peanut butter-flavored bites, people have fallen in love with the M&#038;M brand all over again \u2013 especially after the brand updated their candy characters to be more woke amid the political climate of 2023. However, one TikTok user from London shocked candy lovers everywhere around the world when she took to the Chinese-created social media platform to reveal the true meaning behind what M&#038;M stands for and how it is really all a bunch of \u201cfamily drama.\u201d<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xstorynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0852-300x157.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xstorynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0852-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/xstorynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0852.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nClaire Dinhut, the London TikToker, claims that M&#038;M stands for Mars and Murrie. These people were famed chocolatiers and business collaborators named Forrest Mars Sr. and Bruce Murrie, who collaborated to create the candy-coated chocolates that have since been known as M&#038;M\u2019s around the world for every type of candy lover.<\/p>\n<p>Both of the candy creators came from candy maker royalty. Bruce was the son of a Hershey executive named William Murrie, while Forrest was the son of Mars founder Frank C. Mars.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the London-based TikTok user has unleashed a torrent of interest in the candy brand after making her claims about the name on social media owned by the Chinese platform.
