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.
Yep. We knew a freedom that seems as if it must be completely foreign to many today.
And it saddens me that unless we do something, they will never know that.
Even worse...they will probably never know what they missed.
stupid and embarrassing garbage.
TTIUWP.
Useless WITH pictures, too, but still... we have traditions to uphold.
‘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.’
just this very morning I (73 years)said the very same thing to my wife; remarkable...
‘Maybe that is the intent of all this stupidity, to simply alienate people.’
thee is no maybe about it...
I agree with post 4. Cartoon characters in a TV ad are way down the list of life’s issues we should be mindful of. I try to blank out during commercials and I mute the drug ads so I do not hear the list of disgusting side effects warnings.
Soon they’ll try to tell us the ones with nuts are female. LOL
they all taste the same.
:)
Can you imagine if you're the person who complained about this. What a yawning expanse of utter emptiness your life would have to be.
the greenie needs a weenie and should be called by the pronoun zhe.

PWTMTOTH - people with too much time on their hands
OMG!! LOL!!
And we’re done with Mars Candy.
Do I have to say it? Get woke . . .
That is the goal. Let it go...let it go...
Who needs M&Ms???
The freedom you mention has been gone a long time. The feminists wrecked the workplace in the nineties. Anything offensive to the elites and their pets is muted or destroyed. Music, comedy, sports, movies, TV.
A guy here said the bad beginning was bike helmets. Another guy said it was seat belts. But when an evil government becomes the arbiter and author of everything, it’s a bridge too far for those of us who lived in other times. Simpler ones. Better ones.
“Laid back sneakers for effortless confidence”
When I see sneakers on grown men as daily wear I think old men in New Balance thickies cause their feet hurt
Or young non masculine men in Chuck Taylors ....always a sign of a lefty ...well almost
Or thug
And we wonder why advertising is so woke over racial depictions
Same single neurotic no life fools who work Silicon Valley
Our younger people who have been educated....unless their folks counter educated or the are just astute are hopelessly Borged over race gender and climate
Imagine being so mentally deranged that the M&M characters grate on you, enough to organize and write letters and hold press conferences...
And the corporation cosigns their derangement, instead of laughing.
Correlation is not causation as the saying goes, but one thing I’ve noticed is when companies lose their “core competencies” they try to do other things, or more things.
M&Ms kinda taste crappy now, they just aren’t nearly as tasty as they once were.
Maybe, they should focus on keeping their flagship product quality. They have never been what I would call boutique chocolate, but they were OK. I won’t buy ‘em again. This is the problem. Stay in your lane!
