Mars Snackfood is giving away chocolate candies for much of the day today on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The giveaway is the result of an online survey / contest involving nearly 350 American cities. Chicago came out on top in the vote to see which city is most in need of a little joy — in the form of chocolate.
Mars will be offering free candy in Pioneer Court today, just outside 401 N. Michigan Ave. M&M’s, Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, Dove and 3 Musketeers…more than 50,000 samples will be given away. The event lasts until 6 p.m. today.
Chicago beat runners-up New York, Houston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
