Candy Facts

To burn off one plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.

The estimated number of M&M's sold each day in the United States is 200,000,000.

It takes 7 to 21 days to make a single jelly bean.

In Japan, over 200 flavors of Kit Kat have been introduced since 2000, including cucumber, ginger ale, soy sauce, wasabi, green tea, and lemon vinegar.

Shellac, a glazing agent derived from secretions of the lac beetle, was traditionally used to give candies like Skittles and jellybeans their shiny coating. While most Skittles switched to plant-based alternatives around 2009, many jellybean brands still use shellac today.
