Lonnie's Fun Fact for Thursday December 12, 2019. Mars, Incorporated is an American manufacturer of candy, pet food and other food products and a provider of animal care services. The company is ranked as the 6th largest in the United States by Forbes. Headquartered in McLean Virginia, the company is entirely owned by the Mars Family. One of the most popular Mars confections is the beloved M&M. M&M's were first introduced commercially in 1941 by Forrest Mars, Sr. Forrest got the idea for the candy after observing soldiers eating chocolate pellets with a hard shell during the Spanish Civil War. The candy was made with a hard shell so that soldiers could carry the chocolate during warm weather. Forrest Mars couldn't actually eat his some of his inventions, in particular Peanut M&M's. He was allergic to peanuts. Listen to the micropodcast here; theriver953.com/podcast/fun-fact-thursday-december-12-2019/ ... See MoreSee Less

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Wednesday December 11, 2019. Hewlett Packard was founded by Bill Hewlett and David Packard initially produced a line of electronic test and measurement equipment. The company got its first big contract in 1938, providing its test and measurement instruments for production of Walt Disney Pictures' hugely successful animated film Fantasia. This success led Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard to formally establish their Hewlett-Packard Company on 1 January 1939. The company grew into a multinational corporation widely respected for its products, and its management style and culture known as the HP Way which was adopted by other businesses worldwide. If things had been just slightly different, the company might have been called Packard-Hewlett. When they decided to go into business together, founders William Hewlett and David Packard knew their company name would just be a combination of their last names, but were unsure of the order. So in Packard's Palo Alto garage, they simply flipped a coin, and Hewlett won. Listen to the micropodcast here; theriver953.com/podcast/fun-fact-wednesday-december-11-2019/ ... See MoreSee Less
