just as a guess, a couple of guys who started a candy company a hundred years ago, or whenever it was. there's no "m" in "not in your hand" so it couldn't have been that. whatever it origeonally stood for, other then likely the names of a couple of guys, is probably so trite, cleched and quaint, as to be totally obscure of any present day meaning. that would also be my second guess. ah, i see someone actually looked it up, ha, good for them. i'm just curious enough to go see what they found. thanx mitten. just what i though. i'd kind of guessed mars was one of them, the mars bars trademark on so many others and all, but murry i'd either forgotten if i'd ever known, or simply never had. something i can never be entirely sure of which about anything. =^^= .../\...
Seriously, that was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread. No thinking required.
