Disturbing. Very disturbing.

…”not the kind of commercial that would make you want to eat a candy bar”

…maybe that’s because virtue signaling is never productive or profitable. Perhaps their CEO is the guy from JC Penney’s?

Is that kid a boy? I assume it is...but I'm not sure. But at the risk of being sexist...I think that witch is hot!

The companies and advertising agencies doing these satanic, racist and perverted commercials are puppets of communist handlers...and satan/allah.

If you have a problem with a little boy wearing a princess dress and believe that people who dress like witches with spiked collars look weird, you will be blown away – meaning, literally blown away. As in swept away by a gust of wind produced by a dark, angry witch.

This commercial is a warning. It limins the leftist mentality exactly: Agree or be destroyed.

The great deception.
Just read Romans 1:24-32. These scripture passages are striking, particularly with what’s going on today in America.

The enemy, satan, deceives, perverts, manipulates everything in an effort to steer people away from God.

Not trying to thump the bible. I just find it amazing how insane some of the things I hear our young people spouting and how accurate Holy Scripture describes it all.

Sure, there are those who would take a scripture verse and massage it to fit their narrative. I get it, but in totality of God’s word you begin to see a true picture of today’s assault on our young, the church, society.

Kinda creepy.

I have two points to add to this.

It at this point that the wind starts to pick up with the witch-nanny casting a spell, and then – boom! – the boy disappears after yelling, “Help!”

Nice going Mars, showing an adult assaulting a child in a positive light. Wouldn't it have been more in keeping with their philosophy to talk to the boy and educate him why he was wrong.

“I don’t do boycotts, but this one is actually making me reconsider.”

That's why we keep losing and the left isn't afraid to attack us. They know we won't do anything about it, and we'll keep funding their messages against us with our consumer dollars. That's why the whole industry went hard left, and there may not be anyone left who we can buy from in their place.

Assuming it isn't already too late, we need to make them pay for this by taking our money elsewhere.

Twix parent company is Mars. Snickers and Starburst used to be my Halloween treats but no more.

That was one of the strangest commercials I’ve ever seen.

They didn’t even mention Twix, unless I missed it.

Never going to buy Twix again.

They managed to alienate much of their customer base with that piece of cr*p.

They gave us Twix and took away Mars.

Miserable trade.

You must go to the UK to get a Mars bar

I knew some folks who said they didn’t want to put limits on their kid. They lived in an apartment building on the fifth floor.

I asked them when they were going to take the railings off the balcony.
