M&M's ditches 'spokescandies' -- for now -- after steps to promote inclusivity deemed too polarizing

M&M's ditches 'spokescandies' – for now – after steps to promote inclusivity deemed too polarizing

M&M’s announced its "beloved spokescandies" are too polarizing and the cartoon chocolates would be put on an "indefinite pause" after backlash to recent changes.

A few questions come to mind here:

1. Why would Disney care when they're promoting woke?
2. What in the world are spokescandies as don't all of the M&M's in their commercials speak?
3. Will this effect the existing characters?
4. How the **** is Maya Rudolph any better?

You people need more to do with your time

You people need more to do with your time

And people who go around fantasizing that M&M's have a sex life don't?

Stop flaming.... it's past tiresome

Meanwhile back to topic. You limp wrists (yes you) actually think corporations are going to forgo profits to satisfy woke demands

It's not working

This shit is hilarious.

These have been around since the 90s and nobody cared or whined about it. Then Tucker finds out and the rightwing drones all lose their minds.

What a bunch of mindless sheep you people are

Here is what you people are triggered over....

If he's really desperate he can become a USMB moderator.

Can one of you rightwing drones tell me what is so very bad about these...

Conservatives get upset over the silliest things

Why don’t you tell us about the Teletubbies?

Yep, the Purple Teletubby Was Gay

We now understand that the mere presence of queer characters is not in itself “sexual innuendo.”

"Woke" is just stupid.

That would be Tucker Carlson, he is the one that said this.... the Brown M&M is less sexy because she went from having high stiletto heels to lower block heels.

What is just scary is how much power someone like Tucker holds over these people.

These things encourage me actually. I would love to return to a world where common sense and critical thinking instead of 'woke' indoctrination is the way things are. At least this is a good start. I would like to be able to buy products that reflect real values instead of being told (preached to) that I should champion 'woke' candies and be offended by a smiling, lovable black person's image on pancake syrup or a box of rice.

More from Tucker about the M&Ms

M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous. Until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them

All right, you rightwingers, come clean....how many of you were having evil thoughts about the Brown M&M and then they ruined that by replacing her shoes?

I don't pay a lot of attention to it, with the exception of Disney because our children are involved, but corporations are realizing it's hurting the bottom line.

Agreed. I would also love if the world wouldn't be offended by a smiling loveable black man singing songs and telling stories.

Meh, low-end chocolate for the "poors".

Some of those stories were embarrassingly racist

Yep, having an M&M that is not sexually appealing to rightwing men hurt their bottom line. They need to bring back the sexy M&M right now.
