    Not surprised that a company named after the god of war is an international war sponsor

Mars' son Forrest Edward Mars developed M&M's and the Mars bar. He is also widely believed to be the god of war.

    Just another reason to not drink the diabetes piss water that is Pepsi. They lost the cola wars for a reason. Come sucks too, but fuck Pepsi even harder.
