Two questions.

Why does the brown M&M get to wear heals but the Green M&M can’t? That is discrimination.

Where are the M&M’s for the color blind? Shouldn’t they be represented?

One assumes that the M&Ms in the commercial look to the color-blind exactly as the real M&Ms in the bag do.

Okay I assume that’s true ( I’m not color blind) but where is the white M&M?

Who actually thinks about shit like this? My gawd

This is the sort of story that gets plastered onto the news when the supreme court lets congress have the former presidents documents.
This is the sort of story that takes to the air after they were caught submitting fake electors for Trump.
When Trump goes down in burning flames, you need something to fill the airwaves.

Hallelujah! We're saved. First Aunt Jemima (a real black entrepreneur btw), then Mrs. Buterrworth, then the Uncle Ben guy. Now, this. Lesbian M&M's too? Progress!

​

​

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.​

​

Mars also added that the brown M&M's heels will be lowered to a professional heel height. ​
