But everything has changed when the Great Depression has put pressure on American portfolios, forcing film owners to find new ways to get their audience from the decrease of more money.

The red vineyards, these fruity strands, gummy red edibles that so many people always team up at the cinema, might seem like a TWizzlers, another movie cinema clip. However, Diehard Vines fans will say they are not the same at all. The red-flavored red flavored vines belonging to the American society of licorice, started production in 1914. Twizzlers, on the other hand, belongs to Hershey, in the flavored cutlery. And were not commercially available before at least 1929. Both found their way in movie cinemas at the beginning of the game.

However, when Neil Armstrong supposedly requested from the Twizzlers on the moon in 1969, he asked the foundations of the Twizzlers to surpass the red vineyards like the red candy at the Red Ropeny-Red Candy in the theaters during the 1970s.

As mentioned earlier, the end of the Second World War ended the rationalization of sugar in times of war, which forces American cinema to become happy to make themselves known with movie treats. But the Second World War and its consequences have another significant impact on the American sweet tooth, and it was the weaving of M & MS in the fabric of America.

Although the M & M were produced commercially in the United States in 1941, they quickly became the official military candy during the Second World War. In fact, all M & M production has been diverted into GIS on active service. When the soldiers came back from the war, not only wanted more than milk chocolate buttons covered with candies that "melt in your mouth, not in your hands," but everyone did. The US post-war condition for M & MPS can be attributed to the fact that the candies were considered the food of American heroes.

M & MS, which have been originally available in cardboard tubes, are first arrived at American theaters in rectangular boxes and have been appreciated by film owners and parents, partly because they could be eaten. Virtually as clean as sweets without chocolate.

The next time you take a box of these candies, know that you respect a centuries-old film tradition of decades.
