After causing outrage by making over the Green M&M and launching a special bag featuring its new Purple character in honor of International Women’s Day, M&M’S says it is taking a step back from its candy reps — sort of. “In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokescandies,” the chocolate candy brand said in a statement Monday. “We weren’t sure if anyone would even notice. And we definitely didn’t think it would break the internet.
Online, some guessed right away that the announcement was part of a Super Bowl campaign, while others criticized the brand for bowing to pressure. Even Merriam Webster weighed in, tweeting that “spokescandies” is not in the dictionary. M&M’S sparks controversy Last year, M&M’S unveiled a new look for all of its anthropomorphized chocolate characters to make them more relevant to young consumers. Most of the updates were subtle.
Just want to get married they said.... now look at every company trying to be woke and cram it down our throats (I know they like it crammed down their throat)
no
Just got to call grooming = grooming when you see it.
valid!!!!
Yup, the obnoxious spokies were very bad for society. I'll miss them. ☹️ I think this was a hill too far for conservative media to jump on.
There would be no issue if they allowed the private company to do what it wanted in the marketplace as long as it harmed absolutely nobody. And it doesn’t. I think that would help. Thoughts?
0 conservatives are complaining about m&m's.
they are hello food
hear liberal complaints about the right to bear arms.
TheBabylonBee did it better.
This totally proves the left has no sense of humor
There’s so much small d*ck energy being displayed here. What in the hell is wrong with these folks. A lot of sexually repressed people on the right.
But I wonder if they're talking to Pedophile Pastors versus worrying about some dang candy...
Conservatives don't have to eat M&M's.
Thank goodness for a REAL news station like Fox to report on common sense against the liberal lunacy from fake news like….CNN!!
Sorry liberal network but I'm conservative and the ONLY reason I don't like the purple M&M is because purple is my least favorite network. I like all of the other colors and like to match them up for my favorite sports teams.
wow thanks can’t wait
lol conservative complaints? I don't care
These cons just don't get it. It's 2023 - we need every company to prove just how woke they are. We need companies to broadcast their virtue-signalling, or else how will we know their product is for us?
It's frigging candy ffs anyone normal isn't co.plaining about what's on a candy wrapper
Tucker Carlson is horny for the green M&M
My wife left me for the purple m&m
CNN is propaganda. nothing more.
You got to b shitting me M&M charachters omg
Fun fact: George Santos used to be the yellow m&m 😏
mostly peaceful nonbinary chocolate cartoons
Literally not 1 conservative Has spoken out about this What a load of crap
😆
Reading this, which SHOULD BE A JOKE, is exactly why I have drastically reduced my time on social media.
The decline of USA. Brought to you by: • MAGA • GOP • The Uneducated
Both M&M's and Fox are cringe in this. Using candies to promote social cause and keep demonizing China everyday like they're the new Soviet Union shows America is the land of clowns.
This headline makes look like it's conservatives that caused the change. Maybe ppl just want their sugary products without some stupid DIE message.
Ah the sound of losing money.
With all the news going on in the world, you can always count on FoxNews , TheFive and TuckerCarlson to lose their shit over commercials about M&M’s.
I hate America
It's truly sad when the right wing Idiocracy wins.
CNN IS RACIST
Look, I know there's immeasurable pain and suffering in the world, but if we can whine enough to get a candy company to put the sexy shoes back on the female cartoon candies, I consider that a win for humanity.
Thus headline makes look like it's conservatives that caused the change. Maybe ppl just want their sugary products without some stupid DIE message.
When you’re offended over candy…
Go woke and you go broke
Ah yes. The party of freedom.
Now what will Tuckwit Carlson wank to?
Lol I have second hand embarrassment
Seems like conservatives are the only ones who can afford M&Ms
Woke Republicans cancel M&M characters. Conservative cancel culture cancel candy and not George Santos🤔
Snowflakes
Imagine getting outraged over a damn cartoon candy 🤣
Criticism= outrage
And they call liberals snowflakes 😂
no, were just tried of the gay shit, kids. Give a rest....
Go Woke Go Broke!
Esto es noticia para ustedes, pero cuánto le cuestan reportar sobre la pareja gay de Atlanta que abusaban sexualmente y prostituían sus hijos adoptivos. Ustedes dan vergüenza.
It's candy. This might sound crazy, but we really don't need a candy maker wading into culture wars to show how virtuous they are. Bringing in the relentlessly unfunny Maya Rudolph is equally bizarre. Does she appeal to the M&M demographic?
Just blow-up the world. It’s over.
😂 what a disaster. Libs are inconsolable
If only the lazy a.. Repubs worked instead of obsessing over candy. Who elects these losers?
Imagine being triggered by fictional marketing chocolate.
Conservative snowflakes, hurt by candy…
Wonder how much this PR/Marketing failure cost them. Rivals 'New Coke' but that just tasted bad. M&M decided to shove social justice down the customer's throat.
Riiiiight! Republicans Pounce! America isn't buying what they're selling is the problem.
Pu..y Repubs.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
mmschocolate
When are you people going to do your job and IMPEACH Biden NOW!!!!!
Come on, they're just candies. Why has everything need to be a social cause?
Good. How about just making candies instead of hopping on what ever the cause of the day is?
