THE HISTORY OF THE M&M BY AYLA

Two cavemen were sitting around doing nothing when they suddenly saw a dark brown powder on the floor. One said to the other "why don't we try putting it in milk and mixing it so we can drink it?" It sounded like a good idea so that's what they did and after mixing the cocoa and milk in a pot for a long time they got tired and went into their caves to sleep. BUT.... they forgot to take the pot with them so it got left out and froze in the night. When they woke up the next morning they were very angry and wanted to throw the mixture out but then a cave girl from the village came up to them and started yelling at them for no apparent reason. They got so freaked out they they tried to run away but she caught them and started throwing coconuts at them. They got really angry and threw the pot with the defrosted milk and cocoa mixture at her. The pot broke in midair and just the chocolate flew into her mouth. Then an amazing thing happened: the girl smiled and swallowed the chocolate, she loved it! And tried to tell the cavemen how good it was but she couldn't because the huge bar of chocolate gut stuck in her throat !!!!! Luckily one of the cavemen immediately got it out of her throat and the girl told them that they should make more of the chocolate but this time to avoid the danger of big chocolate bars break it down into little bite sized balls. The cavemen followed her instructions and when they were done, before giving them to the other cave people, carved two Ms on each ball because their names were Marg and Murg.
And that is how we ended up having the M&Ms we eat and love today.
