Candy maker wants a piece of gum
Candy giant Mars, Inc., might be about to gobble up the nation's largest chewing gum maker. Mars, the maker of Snickers, Starburst and M&Ms, is near a deal to buy the William Wrigley Junior Company. Wrigley's makes Altoids mints, and Orbit and Juicy Fruit gum. The price is about $22 billion. According to press reports, billionaire investor Warren Buffett will help foot the bill. In return, he'll likely take a stake in Wrigleys.
