M & M's "Welcome New Millennium", circa 1999
Add to SetSummary
Lots of companies tried to cash in on the fervor surrounding the year 2000. The Mars candy company started early, promoting its M&M's as "The Official Candy of the New Millennium" by 1998. Why tie M&M's to the new year? MM is the Roman numeral for 2000.
