What Does Smarties Candy Have to do with WWI Gunpowder Manufacturing?
In the 1940s, a British confectioner named Edward Dee immigrated from England to New Jersey. He opened his first candy factory in 1949 in Bloomfield, NJ. Fourteen years later, Dee broke ground on another plant in Toronto, Canada. They originally called themselves Ce De Candy Inc., but later changed their name to Smarties.
