M&M's is launching woke 'all-female' packs to celebrate female empowerment and attempt to shake things up in a continued shift toward progressive branding.

Mars, M&M's parent company, debuted the feminist candy wrappers earlier this week, exclusively featuring the company's three female mascots: green, brown and the newly-introduced purple.

The all-female package - upside down, to show how powerful women have 'flipped the status quo' - will be the first time the brown and green M&Ms have been featured together since a viral tweet from 2015 sparked rumors they were a lesbian couple.

The tweet contained a picture of the two characters holding hands on the beach, posted just two days after the Supreme Court effectively legalized gay marriage.

In fact, a search for the two characters in the notorious fan fiction site Archive Of Our Own produces 11 different results. The green M&M supposedly posted the tweet herself, writing: 'It's rare Ms. Brown and I get to spend time together without some colorful characters barging in.'

Mars has shifted the M&M's brand in recent years multiple times in attempts to appear more progressive, with new CEO Poul Weihrauch looking to continue the trend.

They debuted 'Purple' - the first ever female peanut M&M spokescandy, who has been designed to represent acceptance and inclusivity and is 'quirky, confident and authentic'.

More than 10 million fans voted to add the color to the confectionary's current rainbow in May, beating aqua and pink.

Purple's arrival was announced with 'I'm Just Gonna Be Me,' a new promotional song and music video, which launched on Tuesday.

They just want to sell more candy. Although I wouldn't want to meet the women who run to the store to buy these packs.

Seriously, nobody buys candy because it represents who they are. The company knows that their candy is bought by fatties mostly. Many fatties don't have the self confidence to stand for anything. If they had the ability to control what they do they would lose weight and be attractive. They can't, so they embrace whatever makes them feel good, including feeling good because they accept abnormal people.

I thought the w's were a sign of poor quality control. I throw those away.

She threw out all the W's.

Peanut butter M&M's in your popcorn are greatness. They get gooey and salty.

I'm not saying they are Godiva or anything, but they definitely make popcorn better.

If I'm reading this correctly, this article came out a year ago to the month.

If they really cared, each M&M would have a nonsensical "preferred pronoun" printed on it.

Why do they insist on covering up the brown parts? Truly a racist company.

I really don't understand wtf they're thinking.

It's candy. Nobody is sitting there, lamenting that their candy doesn't have a gay ass backstory.

First they came for the chocolates, and I did not speak up...

And right now there probably are people taking this just as seriously.

DEI hires In marketing are usually creative loons that come up with ridiculous virtue signaling ideas like this to try to justify their employment, I suppose. Their weird ideology is all they can relate to.

Gen Z whines when we call them dumb but also make their purchasing decisions on low quality, mass produced product by ads that feature nothing about the product and just some scene of woke nonsense followed by the company logo

"ZOMG the giant soulless mega corporation that makes crappy candy has girl power! Let me go buy a bag! Yasss Queen slaaaay!"

Shouldn't those be the male M&Ms since they have nuts?
Conspiracies are the norm, not the exception.

Yep. Ads: emotional/nostalgic thing .. then end with the brand. They don't even try to disguise te attempt at naked manipulation anymore.

It's 100% about the agenda 100% of the time. It's their religion.

You go M&Ms! And don't worry, women aren't smart enough to know condescension when it is directed toward them.
