Maltesers sweets box

1/12th scale box of Maltesers.

6 Maltesers a SECOND are made every year (187million)

Maltesers were created by  Forrest Mars Sr. in England in 1936, and first sold in 1937. They were originally described as "energy balls" and aimed at slimming women. The current Maltesers' slogan is "The lighter way to enjoy chocolate"

Despite being hugely popular in the UK, Maltesers aren't available to Americans because of a dispute with Hershey over its name. Its US rival owned the rights to the name Malteser, and in 2014 Mars accused Hershey of trying to pass off its products as Mars' Maltesers
