The entire ad is a virtue signaling mess about a young boy with a witch for a nanny who encourages him to wear princesses dresses in public.

After going with the strange woman to the park, the child gets questioned about his choice to dress like a girl, so the nanny uses her powers to violently fling the other child through the air.
No mention of Twix in the ad. Looks like they're trying to virtue signal and distance themselves at the same time, IOW usual lefty cognitive dissonance.
Rats!! Twix was one of my favorite candies.
Heath, Skor, and Almond Joy belong on the top tier.
The makers of Twix are a “woke” company all right, if they’re more interested in spreading a message than in making money. One of these days, I expect to see a bunch of woke companies go crunch; they can’t all be receiving government subsidies.
My pyramid is much different. Chocolate is king!
Agreed, along with Mounds.
Skittles should be on the crap-tier, not the God-tier.
Rebranding “Twix” to “Twinks”? Sounds like a plan. For FAIL…
Barf.
Yes, I noticed Almond Joy missing!
Mike & Ike, Jujyfruits, Milk Duds, and Tootsie Rolls do not belong in the "crappy" tier.
The world has gone mad.
Sponsored child abuse.
"The film is part of the second season of 20th Digital Studio’s Bite Size Halloween Short Film Series. The series features 18 emerging filmmakers representing a spectrum of styles, identities, countries and backgrounds. The long term goal of 20th Digital Studio’s short film programs is to continue to guide and finance the growth of these artists’ careers and to transition some of the shorts into longer features. 20th Digital is currently shooting the first feature developed in this way, expected to debut on Hulu in 2022. Continuing a partnership now in its third iteration, select films feature Mars candy integrations and/or will air on broadcast networks Freeform, FX, and FXX with sponsorship from Twix, Skittles, and Snickers."

The task for us is to remind Mars, financially, that funding such messages, associating your company with this type of work in any way will not be supported. Mars, like many other large companies, is going after a larger woke audience. One they feel is global. It may well be. However, the majority of America does not support this message or these lifestyles. So perhaps the time has come for us to encourage these giants to leave our land and to replace them with companies, and candymakers in this case, who are interested in everyone's business.
Buy local when you can. Send encouraging messages to those companies who are standing up against nonsense of any form (see In&Out Burger). Give THEM your business. Only by doing this will we break the backs of woke corporations. Because eventually, someone, somewhere in the chain of financial command at these companies will get tired of losing money.
Comments are turned off on YouTube. I wonder why?
This is a really nasty commercial. Let’s just send anyone who disagrees with us to the “cornfield.”
Anthony? Izat you?
At least someone recognizes the cornfield. Just keep smiling.
