What the bloody hell.. seriously?

Who the hell sits in these board rooms making these decisions?

Has to be morons that are grossly overpaid.

Give me a salary equal to half of what your highest paid marketing exec is currently being paid and I guarantee I can up your sales...

Honestly, its candy, you are an established popular brand... and you let your marketing folks put your brand in the tank???

Seriously... DM me here, and we can make arragements.

Re Coke and HFCS: We noticed. If HFCS is in the ingredients just skip it.

Want a real coke? Go to Home Depot and get some “Mexican Coke” - its got real sugar and is a different product.

Lots of Mexican restaurants carry real Coke. There’s a reason for that. A lot of people think HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is the reason for obesity-challenged Anericans in most of their “diet”. IMHO.

Our BBB closed years ago and this was in a great area and was quickly replaced.

Candy needs to just shut its mouth and sit on the shelf until I buy it and eat it.

Who in the HELL do these self important a-holes think they are that they need to try to change society and mold it to what THEY think we should do and think??????

Kind of something that the gay models look almost exactly like the pedophile gay couple who were raping and filming their adopted sons.

Couldn’t they have just made Plain and Peanuts into bisexual tranny lovers? No imagination./s

Melts in your mouth and shoots gooey vanilla sauce. Also in your hands. Get a room, you two! Oops. How come sales are down?

Its bizarre that a candy thinks that it has to make a political statement of any kind as part of its marketing pitch.

Its called Brand Activism and every company, corporation, comglomerate etc who has an Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is going full steam ahead with it!

Mars should have stuck with their old snickers commercials:

But because Mars ain’t got no nuts, they went the other way as soon as 2 homo’s somewhere complained.

To: who knows what evil?

it is not the Board Rooms that make decisions like this. It is the VP of Marketing. Sometimes the Chief Executive Officer. There is little to no Board involvement in marketing decisions.
