Snickers has seen its share of highs and lows and come under fire more than once for its high-calorie content. From its early beginnings to its most recent milestones, here's everything you ever wanted to know about this American candy bar giant.

The Snickers candy bar was introduced to the public in 1930. Its creators, Frank and Ethel Mars, were already incredibly successful. Frank had started out life quite poor to the point that his first wife left him because his candy business was going nowhere. But he eventually hit it big in 1922 with the Milky Way. That chocolate treat was so successful that it made Frank and Ethel bona fide candy moguls.

With all the money rolling in, Frank took up some pretty pricey hobbies, one of which was horse breeding. He and Ethel purchased a 3,000-acre farm in Tennessee called Milky Way Farms that employed 100 people. One of Ethel's favorites on the farm was a prized racehorse named Snickers, who died shortly before Frank's new version of Milky Way, with added peanuts, went into production. As a tribute, the couple decided to name the new candy bar after the horse.
