Funny Commercials. That would be the short answer. M&M's, the colorful button-shaped chocolates have created a fan base of their own in the candyland of marketing with their rib-tickling commercials.

By starting off with a concept to candy-coat chocolates, so soldiers can carry it through warm climates without having it melt, to producing more than 400 million individual M&M's every day in the United States and providing in more than 100 countries worldwide, M&M's - the journey has been dramatic, to say the least.

According to a report on Statista M&M's was the top-ranked chocolate candy brand in the United States with $688.7 million worth of sales in 2017 and M&M's Marketing Strategy has played an integral role in it.
