[2025 New York Attraction] Travel Guide for M&M'S New York (Updated Mar)

If you go to New York, you must go to Times Square, and if you go to Times Square, you must go to M&M Chocolate World. Products with M&M designs range from common toys to a wide range of clothing. M&M's is an American brand of chocolate chips. In 2004, M&M's was named America's Favorite Advertising Logo. M&M's advertising slogan "only dissolves in the mouth, not in the hand" was also rated as a 2004 all-American advertising slogan by Adweek. In 1941, M&M's milk chocolate was officially born. Created by The Mars Company and The Hershey Company. M&M's turned out to be only brown. Red, yellow and green were added in 1960. Due to health concerns over the possible carcinogenicity of the synthetic pigment amaranth, red was dropped in 1976 and orange was added to replace red. Although M&M's did not use the coloring, the red icing candies were replaced to allay consumer concerns. In 1987, the scare about red pigment had been forgotten, so red was revived. In 1995, blue was added by a consumer vote. Currently M&M's comes in 6 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, brown and blue (the peanut kernel candies have the same color). A handful of other colors are only released on select holidays. In the U.S., including: Black on sale for Halloween. The tan is sold 1 to 2 months before Thanksgiving. Pink is sold on Valentine's Day. Pink candies (pink, pink-green, pink-blue) are sold at Easter.
