Following controversy over M&M’s changing looks, the brand was looking for a spokesperson “America can agree on” for a new Super Bowl ad, and now the cartoon candies will be paused.

As The Free Press readers may recall, in January 2022, the candymaker Mars announced that it would make its multicolored M&Ms more “inclusive.” It’s part of a program Mars calls “Creating a World Where Everyone Feels They Belong.”

Not bad.

Publicity stunts by both companies. If Tucker really wanted to punish MMS he would have ignored their publicity stunt.

Wait until they figure out what “rooty” means in Australia.

Candy can’t be male or female. Pretending that it can is insane.

Discriminating against the pantsless is RAY-CISSS!!

[cowboyusa]

GOAT of Root Beers.

[Seruzawa]

How about rapists and serial killers? Aren’t they just alternative lifestyles? Shouldn’t they be included too?

[the OlLine Rebel]

So, when is Donald Duck going to wear pants?

I'm pretty sure I heard a few people refer to cocaine as rooty. I'm in CT not Australia.

Brand spanking new A&W Root Beer opened at the Ellis, KS exit Number 159! If you are hauling ass thru Kansas and need a Root Beer float, stop in and get one!!

Maybe M&M should just sell hamburgers, like International House of Pancakes.

As in rooty-toot-toot?

[Rdct29]

Maybe, I'm not too sure. They were just people I knew from a bar I use to go to in my younger days. Rooty toot toot would make sense. There are a lot of strange individuals who dabble with Rooty or Rudy.
