Frank Mars was called a failure. After several attempts to start a candy company, he went bankrupt. Three times. Fortunately, each attempt brought him closer to inventing the Mars company that now owns 11 billion-dollar brands.
When he was just a young child, he caught polio: a highly infectious disease that can lead to paralysis, breathing problems, and even death. Fortunately, Frank survived. But the battle left him disabled for the rest of his life.

"Increased salaries by 30% and called every worker an associate" Take note. Treat workers well, and they'll do a much better job.
It's almost like people want their work to be appreciated or something
I work for Mars. It’s pretty great.
@@nani324 me too!

That is something most people all around specially in North America NEVER DO…
Interesting info, it's cool how a lot of iconic companies were started in the strangest circumstances

Happy. Not proud. Proudness is bad!

Yo why is no one talking about how this man single handedly made all my favorite candy
Probably cause Forrest went Europe after ,plus his stint at Nestle.Not as American.
Yes, but what was he doing with the other hand? Mmmmmm?
Dude i k ow mars is so nice
Yo nobody knows yo homie
@@chancemcgyver8172 Perfect response. I love it!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still chuckle every time you say "the customers were hooked"
Does all this and is still called an “ex-prisoner”
you saw that video right
where an ex con saves a persons life and is still called an ex con
@@poki2outof103 yes
It’s to emphasise the fact on how well he done.

Next Video: How a homeless man invented Burger King.
Is the owner of burger kind homeless back then?
@@EGNY yes, he was homeless. He use to put his shopping cart on it's side and started to grill the patties on it. I hope he does a video on it, it's a really sad story but a happy ending.

Notice the key component to bringing mars back when he managed it was respecting the employees and giving them a reason to want to be there
I like mars more than snickers,idk i like both of them but i like mars more
EA should take notes.
@@recruit7416 Mars has that strange sweetness that appeals and perfectly captures the sweet tooth better than Snickers.
@@recruit7416 mars has a better taste but snickers has a much better texture that makes up for it imo. :)
@@recruit7416 I don’t like snickers tbh ngl
"You get *more glucose"* Somehow that slogan seems to misfire just a little
More blood sugar also, then hyperglycemia
Yeah, I thought that too, but I guess back then people never associated it with bad health.
@@devingwithlowgonman5332 : Glucose is necessary.
Yeah
@@helmsscotta the human body makes its own glucose. No reason to injust glucose from eating it......
7:35 “which stood for ‘Mars and Murrie’” We did it boys, we finally found out the meaning of the name...
BRAVO, WELL DONE !!! 😺
yay
Lol my dad told me before I watched this 😂
I thought snickers was originally called something else?
I was curious about the meaning of the M -M . I thought it was for More and More CAUSE that's how much I liked it. I figured one of the M was for Mars now I found what the other M stands for. Thanks.
This Chanel is underrated
Gabe itches so true
True
Way too underrated

Bro imagine his ex wife hearing about him making millions
She’d be crying in her tombstone
Goes to show you that you shouldnt leave someone because they are broke
XT_Games not when you realize his ex wife is forests mother meaning she’s set for life
odinhabitat until you realize she legit died not long after the dad
Forrest wouldn’t have gotten a good education if she didn’t leave
This is so underrated, imagine how much time and effort. And wow that caramel I’m craving
That’s what I’m saying
He read at least 2 books for this

I sometimes call M&M "diabetes pills" because once you eat one Eminem, instantly Nonstop
I don't think it's okay to eat rappers.

No kidding... I bought one of those 1 kg bags of them, thinking I'd have it for a month then proceeded to finish it in 3 days.
This should be titled: How a son's love for his father drove him to be the dominant force in the candy industry.
And also how a determined disable man with a love for candy build an empire despite failling many time
R.I.P Frank
Yale and Jail actually got me confused
The man did many astounding achievements, yet I can't get over the fact that he named his business "food manufacturers" That's like PepsiCo naming it "soda sellers"
It was a different time, i supposed
@@dieptrieu6564 yup different time
Just a guy trying to make some candy. What a badass.
Plot twist: Frank Mars actually created Eminem
And was quoted to say... Now this looks like a job for me..

I remember when I saw the kfc video, looked at the channel and saw "5348 subscribers". I had to look twice to make sure i didnt overlook some 0's. The work that goes into your videos is astounding
It's over 500,000 now.
Thirty years of effort, having to watch his fathers baby start to crumble, being shunned by his family, and in the end it was all worth it.
R.I.P Frank 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Whenever I open up a new bag of M&Ms I always separate the Mars from the Murries.
Hold up
I separate the M’s from the W’s.
@@MrStyle2 underrated
I love to hear stories about companies on how it started very interesting.

Just found this account! I'm honestly loving it. Great video!!
Love this channel. Keep grinding brother.
These videos are extremely well-edited! I love ur vids
Just amazing. Thank you for bringing me it.
Dove Chocolate, Not Dove Soap that is Unilever.
good catch
@@mikerafone4736 There's really only a few big corporations that control everything. when people buy food it's usually either Unilever, Kraft or Nestle.
I live in suburban Chicago and before there was Dove Chocolates, there was the Dove Candy Shop. I was last in there in the 80's - before they sold out to Mars - and you could get a big slab of ice cream on a stick (almost the size of a paperback book) dipped in chocolate - the original Dove Bar - for 95c.
@@ROGER2095 Watch the 10 companies that control everything to see how far the rabbit hole goes.

The amount of quality in every video is amazing. Every video coming out every week is just ❤️❤️
I remember when you had 20 k subs, congrats on 100k!!!
Why do you only have 100 k subs?... I feel like you take a lot of time with your short documentaries and deserve more man. Love your vids you just earned more watch time, subs, and likes from my school. We love your vidsss
Thank you so much I love this is such a positive and inspiring story I love knowing the history behind some of my favourite treats
I didn't know the founder of the Mars company actual had polio
Wow what an amazing guy this Forrest character... I clapped in salute... ☺️
Fresh upload!
I will go buy a mars bar now , thanks for the reminder ❤️
Mars owes Hook some money now
love your content men I knew you would make it to 100k soon congrats
That proves you never give up! Great inspiring story!🙂👍
These films are so inspiring I've thought of giving up due to a heartbreak she could make me a success but your films want me to keep going I want to thank you thank you
Amazing inspiring history lesson that a person should never give up on a dream. Everyone should take this to heart "If there's a will, there's a way"
I learned more in the video than I ever did in school. Like jesus, this was very informational.
100k let’s go!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Keep up the hard work. I enjoy watching your videos.
Its Sal Volcano
Great video - I find it so fascinating to learn how things came about and never thought about M&M’s. I also never knew Mars had a connection to Washington (I;m from Seattle).
This was awesome. You just earned a subscriber my friend.
Nice to see great great nephew Bruno spreading through family name into the music industry
Snickers was my childhood! it was the only thing my mom could get because it was cheaper.
God Bless your mom. :)
I find it weird that's is such a coincidence most candy/soda/stuff related that became huge successes in the end while at the start it was a huge struggle. ... I've realized these types of companies are probably the hardest to raise. Wow, these guys are so lucky.
Awesome story of my favorite candy ( M&M) and to find out what happened to the MarsBar.. who knew, no I do, thanks!!
this man rly didnt give up even all the difficulties he had
Wow, I didn't know about that. Now I always remember when eating Mars bar or an M&M
When Elon Musk lands on Mars and creates a Chocolate bar he’s going to call it “The real Mars Bar”
If he creates a jail and arrests himself then he can call it, Mars behind Bars

Gets this dude more subs!!
My boy finally has got what he deserved. We believed in you HOOK and you did it. We love ur content

Bruh im so freaking lucky I clicked on this I swear I will never forget you , you are a true hero my guy ❤️
Thats actually impressive
That has me thinking, what if we are missing out on amazing candy ideas just because certain people haven’t gone through a experience that would’ve sparked their idea
great video this really got me HOOK on this channel
Im hooked to hear new storys.
Looks like his family has a history of space
I’m hooked on Hook, Half as Interesting, and Lemmino. Great content, keep it up!
You seriously deserve more subs.

Great report. What a lesson from it
Shanghai has a really cool M&M shop which is 2 stories and has all different unique M&M flavours and everything M&M
Eminem’s been real quite since this came out
Great video. Keep it up bro.👍

Mars: "Has more milk" Me: *Wait, but im lactose intolerant*
Thanks for revealing what M&M stands for.

Make a video on how vans, baskin robbins, mcdonalds, pizza hut, Apple Samsung, microsoft, etc. Upload more videos.

Amazing video!
Gotta respect the grind
Cant wait for you to try the saturn though

Ethel (franks first wife) could’ve gotten rich but left frank XD
Congratulations for 100k.... We knew you will achieve this goal ... Next up 1 mil
Interestingly enough...I just finished a king size pack of plain M&Ms then this video appeared. Thanks for sharing. ☺
Wait I’ve heard story’s of where the Mars bar was made from a lot of places like England, Ballarat a city in Australia and America, Witch one is right…
6:48 is that Elon musk???!!!
No
@@torn2death you literally uploaded a roblox video.
Good details and I like the bits of trivia to get a time stamp
Ya got respect the man's determination and drive, most of us would have given up the first time!!👍🙏
Why do in every story their wife always left them
Not wife of ray of Macdonalds she wasn't happy with his idea but always supported him but he later married a beautiful women
Forrest’s lifelong motto I bet is “lock me out and I’ll buy you out”
I love these videos!
This was awesome.
