Forrest Mars Sr.
Forrest Mars Sr. was an American businessman and the son of Frank C. Mars, who established the company that became Mars, Incorporated.
Forrest spent time working in the confectionery business and became interested in developing products that could reach a broad audience. He was associated with the idea of creating small chocolate candies protected by a hard outer shell, making them easier to transport and less likely to melt on the fingers than uncoated chocolate.
The idea would become the foundation of M&M’s.
