Candy Bar Combat - Minnesota Monthly - March 2007 - Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnesota
It’s the time of the year when one ponders about what candy (or healthy treat) to give out on Halloween night. From a local perspective Pearson’s products are always tempting but I was reminded by an earlier post that the Milky Way bar was invented in Minneapolis. Here is an interesting article by Jack El-Hai on the creation of the Milky Way bar and the combative relationship between Frank Mars and his son Forrest. Frank, Ethel and Forrest Mars are buried at Lakewood Cemetery.
