6. 1930s to 1940s Sir Forrest Mars, the founder of Mars Company, had a great idea. In the 1930’s during the Spanish civil war he saw the soldiers eating chocolate pallets with hard shell tempered chocolate even in the inside. They did that so the chocolate wont melt in their pockets. Mars company started producing this in a factory located at 285 Badger Avenue in Clinton Hill, Newark, New Jersey. When operations were started, the hard-coated chocolates were made in five colors: red, yellow, brown, green, and violet. They were served in a cardboard tube.
