The weight of one serving of Mars is only 48 grams, and the weight of 6 briquettes is 288 grams. It follows that the calorie content of a Mars ice cream bar is only 178 kilocalories.

Brand history: the Mars chocolate empire - from home kitchens to the world market

The editors of Zira.uz talk about the history of creating brands that have become famous throughout the world. Today we are talking about the manufacturer of your favorite sweets - chocolate giant Mars Inc.

Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, M&M's, Twix, Bounty - this is an incomplete list of products that Mars Incorporated has been producing for over 100 years. Most of the products and brands of this brand can be found on the shelves of all stores in Uzbekistan. And despite the fact that this corporation is one of the most closed and mysterious, we still tried to reveal the history of this brand.

Mars family business in the kitchen window

The founder of the Mars Corporation, Franklin Mars, was born in 1883 in the town of Hancock. As a child, he contracted polio and was forced to study at home. Spending a lot of time in the kitchen with his mother, he watched her prepare sweets, and she, in turn, taught him this business. So little Franklin decided on his occupation.

At the age of 19, Mars, selling sweets in a small stall, started thinking about his own business. In 1911, having married for the second time, Franklin Mars decided to cook and sell sweets at home.

Thus, the couple's home kitchen becomes the first outlet of the future company.

Franklin spent his nights preparing cheap candies with various fillings, and his wife Ethel sold them through the kitchen window in the morning.

There is information that at the very beginning Mars suffered setbacks, the reasons for which are still unknown. But in the 1920s, fortune turned and Franklin Mars and his wife Ethel moved to Minneapolis. There they founded the Mar-o-Bar company and began producing candies of the same name, and in 1923 the Milky Way chocolate bar appeared.

Pictured: Franklin and Ethel Mars, 1911

Milky Way bar and first success on the market

As the legend about the creation of Milky Way says, one day Mars Sr., while walking with his son Forrest, bought him chocolate. At that time, it was sold by weight and melted in the hands of buyers. Then Franklin decided that he would make chocolate in a convenient foil wrapper.

Milky Way brought great success to the company, becoming almost a bestseller within a few days.

And in 1929, the family decides to move to Chicago, since it is there that Mars sees prospects for the development of his business and more opportunities to sell his chocolate to other states.

There, Franklin opens the first chocolate factory and changes the company name to Mars Candies. Having established transport connections throughout the country, Mars actively begins to distribute its products.

Mars family split and European horizons

A year after the Marses moved to Chicago, a new Snickers chocolate bar appears, which is so loved by many consumers around the world. At the same time, Franklin's only son, Forrest Mars, entered the family business. But their vision of the future of the company did not coincide, and in 1932 Mars Jr. moved to the UK with the right to produce Milky Way in Europe.

In the city of Slow, he founded his own company and began producing Mars bars.

Sales were not particularly pleasing to the manufacturer, and the company came up with an original marketing ploy - to sell not the bar itself, but its beneficial properties. Mars was advertised as a nutritional product that would boost energy, and the product became an instant hit in Europe.

In 1934, Franklin Mars dies, and Forrest often travels to the United States, but does not head his father’s company, since the relatives of Mars Sr.’s wife seized power there. Forrest tried to resolve everything in court, but the case was unsuccessful, although he would later, in the 1960s, regain his father's company.

Colored M&M's dragees and the company's new triumph

In 1940, Forrest returned to the United States to team up with the Hershey's company to found his own brand, M&M (the name was created in honor of two business partners - Mars and Murry. The first product of the new brand was the well-known chocolate dragees - M&M's in a paper tube.

There was also a legend here: in the late 1930s, during his stay in civil war-torn Spain, Forrest Mars saw that the soldiers’ diet included chocolates in a sugar shell that did not melt for a long time.

M&M's became so popular that Forrest Mars renamed his company M&M's Ltd., and bought out Murry's sole ownership rights. And in the 1960s, Forrest often traveled to the United States, and as a result, in 1964, Mars returned his father’s company, and merging it with his own, gave birth to a new industrial giant, M&M’s/Mars.

During World War II, Forrest enters into a contract with Gordon Harwell to produce instant rice, which would later become known throughout the world as Uncle Ben's.

In the 1950s, Mars began producing animal feed, agreeing with meat processing plants to purchase meat waste. This is how Pedigree and Whiskas were born.

The corporate culture and tough nature of Forrest Mars

According to rumors, Forrest Mars himself personally tested the taste qualities of all his products, including animal food. In general, he was a rather tough and closed person. Because of this, the Mars company was and remains one of the most mysterious in the world.

Mars most of all did not tolerate defects in production. In a well-known case, Forrest bought a package of M&M's at the store one night and noticed that the letters in the name were printed crookedly and off-center. And then he, very angry, raised the company’s management team and ordered the entire defective batch to be removed from the stores.

The company's corporate culture meant maintaining a team spirit; none of the employees had offices, secretaries, personal drivers or cars. That is, there was no demarcation inherent in all large companies.

In 1968, production began on the “sweet couple” - Twix, the slogan of which was rumored to have been coined by Forrest Mars himself. This chocolate was intended for couples going on a date.

By the way, in the 1970s he decided to retire, leaving the company to his sons Forrest and John and daughter Jacqueline. Forrest Mars Sr. did a lot for his company, including being the first in America to open a training center for company employees.

Customer Reviews

The American brand's chocolate and ice cream are very similar to each other. Buyers claim that it takes effort to find the differences between them. The soft and delicate creamy taste of the dessert brings unforgettable pleasure. Ice cream is very similar in taste to chocolate: stretchy sweet nougat, milk chocolate covers a creamy composition with chocolate cream inside. Everyone who has tried this delicacy gives it the highest possible score. Therefore, we can confidently say that reviews of Mars ice cream are positive, and at the highest level.

The disadvantage was the cost of ice cream. It is not only higher than the price of chocolate of the same name, but also higher than the average cost of ice cream of other brands.
