Once a competitor - Mars created Orbit gum - the combined company forms one of the largest confectioneries in America. In more recent years, Mars, along with Berkshire Hathaway, bought out Wrigley Company, famous for its chewing gum. Later famous candies include the Twix bar, 3 Musketeers, and Skittles candies. Perhaps its greatest iintroduction came in 1941, when Forrest Mars introduced M&M Candies. By the end of the 1930s the company had gotten into pet food, where it still has a large market share. Their lineup included Boyce and Gerry McGee on guitar, Hart on keyboards, Larry Taylor on bass guitar and Billy Lewis on drums. The Monkees were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by Robert Bob. The Candy Store Prophets were a 1960s rock band, headed by singer-songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. (The Mars bar only came later, and was released in the UK.) Less than a decade later came the Snickers bar, which secured Mars's place among the top American confectioneries. Session musicians for this track were from Boyce and Harts band the Candy Store Prophets. As dates progressed, the set list began to vary from city to city. It was an instant hit and made Mars a household name. The Candy Store Prophets also provided instrumental backup during the solo segments. After his father, Frank, failed in a few candy making ventures, Forrest Mars found inspiration in a malted milkshake and created the Milky Way bar. But at the company was only focused on candy making. Today Mars, Incorporated makes so much more than just candy.
