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.
Not the Bee! They missed another
Tobacco. Bars and Restaurants.
it does look as though the green m&m will be driving a subaru soon...
Watch it buddy! I moved and retired...
You can be dynamic or you can be progressive, but you cannot be both. I’m guessing these new totalitarian gay M&M’s will have the hammer & sickle and BLM slogans stamped on them, and will smell like poo.
Didn’t They cut an Album ?

Not Semi-Satire, Babylon Bee, or tomorrow’s Gutfeld! script. This is real. OMG. Will they be anatomically correct next? Plain and Penis.
Lentils?!
Oh boy!!! Does this change their WW (Weight Watchers) point value?
You nailed it. It is SO infantile.
Think of the CMO and Directors getting paid huge bucks to dream this crap up.
They did it! They outdid the Babylon Bee.
They're ALL brown on the inside....hmmmmm!
Were you in Van Halen by any chance?
Moved And Retired!

People can’t just eat their silly candy and be happy can they? 🤪
I understand the point you both make, but I have to disagree that it should be simply ignored.
I would dearly like to not pay attention to that kind of thing. But at this stage of my life, I am very sensitive to external efforts to influence the mindset of people for political purposes. I smell that, and instantly recognize it as programming and indoctrination. You may think it is just a cartoon character, but it is more than that. I think we ignore this kind of thing (and many of us have for years including myself) at our own peril, and we will only wake to it when it is too late if we ignore it.
I don’t watch television at all (except for a rare sporting event) and haven’t for going on 20+ years, so I don’t subject myself to this kind of thing. I find network programming to be completely nauseating even walking by.
I had a doctors appointment this morning, and they had the execrable Good Morning America on with George Stephanopoulous, and it made me grit my teeth, feeling as if I were a prisoner being subjected to programming a la Alex in A Clockwork Orange with his eyes held open. I had to listen to it for 20 min and couldn’t get away.
Andrew Breitbart once said: “Politics is downstream from culture”. He also said: “We can call it “Cultural Marxism” but at the end of the day, we experience it on a day to day basis, by that I mean minute to minute, second to second basis. It’s political correctness and it is multiculturalism.”
I believe the first quote is a fundamental truth and the second is an observation. I think both we ignore at our peril. At my age, I am simply finding it hard to ignore them, as much as I wish I could. I turn away and block my ears the same way I do when I hear the “Cars 4 Kids” advertisement, but once it is in your head, you don’t have to see or hear it.
And that only applies for people who are cognizant that things are being placed there against your will.
The vast majority of people simply suck that stuff into their brains, and there it sits and becomes part of the foundation without them even realizing or understanding it.
I hate this. I have always loved being around people, watching their behavior, my wife and I would make a pastime of it when we went out in public, as entertainment if nothing else.
I don’t think I am alone in this, I recall when I got older, my mother and father confessing they did much the same for much the same reasons.
Now, I can’t do it. When I see someone wearing a mask alone in a car, on on a sidewalk in a 15 mph breeze, I simply cannot think of entertainment as much as I think of the vulnerability that can affect me which results from their cow-like stupidity or ignorance.
I can’t even bear to see it anymore. I used to have a much higher estimation of my fellow man, or at least a tolerance for the illusion of that.
