(4) M is the Roman numeral for thousand as in one THOUSAND dollar bill. (5) Sue Grafton followed up "L is for Lawless" with "M IS FOR MALICE". (6) The title of the Otto Preminger movie is "The 13th Letter" which happens to be the letter M. (7) The commercial song I remember the most about Campbell's Soup is MMM Good, MMM Good, that's what Campbell's soup is MMM Good. (8) The characters from the Forrest Mars Candy Company are of course M&M'S, first manufactured in 1941.
