Candy lovers know a few things about Snickers® candy bars. It really satisfies. It will definitely melt if you leave it on your dashboard during the summer. It turns Betty White into a teenage football player named Mike. But for all the things people know about this peanuts-nougat-and-caramel- enrobed-in-chocolate guilty pleasure, most have no idea why it is called Snickers. The answer goes back to a couple named Frank and Ethel Mars who started a wholesale candy factory in 1911. When that venture failed, they found their sweet spot nine years later when they founded Mars, Inc., which was originally called the **Mar -O-Bar Company**. A few years later, they introduced the Milky Way bar, and a star was born! Milky Way became the best-selling candy bar of the time.  That success allowed Frank and Ethel to open a full production plant in Bakersfield, California. It was from there that the Snickers bar was introduced in 1930. That plant remains in operation to this day, and Mars, Inc., the largest candy company in the galaxy, is still a family-owned business.
