M&M's iconic characters — six different colored "lentils," each with their own personality — have gotten a modern makeover for a "more dynamic, progressive world," Mars said Thursday. The redesign is focused on creating a sense of belonging and community, as well as spotlighting the character's "personalities, rather than their gender."
The most notable changes include the green M&M's redesign, which will exchange the white heeled go-go boots she was given in 1997 for "cool, laid-back sneakers to reflect her effortless confidence." Mars had received criticism for the green M&M's sexy characterization. The green M&M will also be "better represented to reflect confidence and empowerment, as a strong female, and known for much more than her boots."
The green M&M and the brown M&M will have a more friendly relationship, showcasing a "force supporting women." The two characters' dynamic will have them "together throwing shine and not shade," the company said. The two characters have sometimes been at odds in advertisements, but they have also been seen as friends — or more than friends in others, like this viral tweet from 2015 showing the two holding hands on a beach.
Which one is getting the hijab?
Does this also mean the two M&M guys will end the commercials doing the movements of “The Ambiguously Gay Duo” while flying?
What a load of horse crap.
It is almost embarrassing. No, it IS embarrassing as a citizen of a Western society.
All of this is infantile.
How about they concentrate on getting the candies to the store shelves? All they had were snack bags and 1/2# and 3/4# pound bags at the local walmart
Because I eat my candy based on the woke human characteristics. The only M&M commercial I can recall is the Santa/M&M he/they do exist. Guess that’s because am a female who seeks submission in the white male patriarchal ... no wait it’s just cute.
It is infantile.
I wonder which color is going to be the “gentle giant” felon saint.
M&Ms of color.
Note there are no white M&Ms.
That’s raciss...
Where’s the pink M&M? Or the rainbow version?
There is nothing the ‘woke’ left won’t try to destroy... nothing. I wonder how many people stopped using Land-of-Lakes butter and now use Challenge? How many switched from Coke to Pepsi? How many use Log Cabin now instead of Aunt Jemina? I’d bet these woke companies are losing money for their share holders with all this nonsense.
Oh, and I don’t know if they melt in your hand, but I always get dye on my hands when eating them.
Silly, vapid children are in charge.
I know part of it is just getting older, but...I am getting to the point I don’t even want to have contact with my fellow humans.
All the sheep-like mask wearing, and things like this...
Maybe that is the intent of all this stupidity, to simply alienate people.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha good choice to post that graphic!
I would raise my hand for all of those...

“All of this is infantile.”
Yes, but they have clearly decided this will please more customers than it chases away.
