Last week's trivia answer

Founded in 1911, when a guy with a celestial name started selling butter-cream candies, today I'm one of the world's largest family-owned firms, producing confectionery, food and pet-care products. My Milky Way bar, introduced in 1923, was my first big hit. I make more than 15 million Snickers bars daily. It takes me eight to 12 hours to make my M&M's and seven days to make Starburst jellybeans. My other brand names include Twix, Skittles, Uncle Ben's, Pedigree and Whiskas. I make seven of the world's 20 best-selling chocolate snacks. My annual sales top $21 billion. Who am I?
