Fun Fact
The "M's" in M&Ms stand for "Mars" and "Murrie."
That would be Forrest Mars and Bruce Murrie, the two businessmen who created the candy-coated chocolates. The two actually had a very contentious relationship, as Mars leveraged Murrie out of his 20 percent share in the company in 1949—years before M&Ms would become the best-selling candy in the U.S., paying him just $1 million for a share of business that would quickly be worth billions.

Movie/TV Trivia
Harrison Ford ad-libbed one of the most famous scenes in Star Wars history
Remember the heart-breaking scene where Han Solo is about to be frozen? Princess Leia blurts out “I love you” and Solo simply replies “I know” before disappearing into the carbonite, unsure if he’ll actually survive the process or not.
This iconic scene wasn’t in the original script at all and was actually suggested by Harrison Ford. Ford told the director that his character should respond to Leia with: “I know,” because “it’s beautiful and it’s acceptable and it’s funny.”
The moment has often been cited as one of the greatest improvised lines in movie history. We’re glad Ford had that flash of genius because the original lines are a lot more underwhelming.
After Han kisses Leia, she says, “I love you. I couldn’t tell you before, but it’s true.” But Solo doesn’t say, “I love you” back — his line was “Just remember that, ‘cause I’ll be back.”
Definitely not as romantic! It just wouldn’t have been the same. Luckily the chemistry between the two actors was unbelievable since Ford and Carrie Fisher had an affair during filming of the three Star Wars movies…
