(NEXSTAR) – The word “octopus” is the singular form of octopuses, and the word “spaghetto” is the singular form of spaghetti.
It should stand to reason, then, that a single candy from a package of M&M’s is as an “M&M,” or at least something that sounds like “M&M,” right?
Well, yes and no.
While it’s technically not incorrect to call an individual M&M’s candy an “M&M,” the brand’s parent company — Mars, Incorporated — refers to each colorful bit of candy-coated chocolate as a “lentil.”
