The candy is worse than the politics. Stop eating this poison. There's lots of good chocolate out there but M&Ms aint it.

Sorry, but taking go go boots off the green candy and giving her tennis shoes in my mind isn't going woke. It is just reflecting the times as those were outdated by style.

How appropriate, wasn't Maya Rudolph the beloved prostitute in the fictional film that has now become a documentary of our country-- Idiocracy?

That's not what got people pissy. You're either willfully ignorant, or trolling. Pick one.

Why don't companies just focus on their product?

What moron at these companies is like, "we need to turn our product political."

No doubt. I am sure there are those in the company that regret ever going down the path on anything other than just making the damn candy. They've dug such a hole for themselves that there is nothing they can do or say that won't just piss off some other interest group. They will never make everyone happy ever again.

Well I'm neither, because I've got no idea what you are talking about. Seriously, people got pissed about M&M commercials last year? I feel like I've seen plenty of them over the last year and not noticed any change in style or substance.

For a candy that was designed to get GI's in WWII some candy, they sure have lost the plot.

They tired to go woke, got a **** ton of backlash, so this is their response.

It has nothing to do with shoes despite the left almost instantly coming out with that taking point.

That's not what got people pissy. You're either willfully ignorant, or trolling. Pick one.

This started with Tucker Carlson going off last year after they changed the footwear on two of the female characters. So please tell me how I am trolling or ignorant because I don't agree with Tucker's take. This was what I viewed as a typical tweak to a corporate logo done every year as opposed to some brand which would have turned them into a bunch of flag waiving, alphabet soup crap.

Yea but now because the company spokespersons skin color is closer to mine, I can finally consume this product! I just didn't identify with the round characters before and therefore felt like the company owed me something. /idiot

I'm Mexican and hot white women have separated me from my money more than anything else.

I demand that Megan Fox sell me this candy.

This latest dust up has nothing to do with whatever that talking head brought up.

It started just a few weeks ago with the all female package bring in two insinuations: 1) That green and purple are "lesbians", and 2) the purple is really a trans since it is a peanut one, you know, a nut. Which is why I put the quotations.

All you did was be a good NPC and parrot some talking point rather than find out what really got people gnashing their teeth. Sound like you fall into the willfully ignorant.

Personally, I don't give two ****s about the candy.

I don't think it was the Tucker thing, think it was about some new "Purple M&M" that was just "gonna be itself" or some nonsense, there is a hilarious Babylon Bee article that predicted this a year ago about "New Purple M&M identifes as a Skittle" lol
