In a totally normal segment about the issue last January, Carlson told his audience, “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. That’s the goal.”
jhvilas no thanks I'm good
I'm sure there is a marketing/advertising department at M & M's Really kicking themselves for destroying one of the most popular/successful advertising campaign ever. Those spokes candy commercials were so cute — until someone decided to go woke with them.

M&M’s replaces cartoon ‘spokescandies’ with Maya Rudolph following ‘woke’ backlash from Fox NewsAfter controversy following its mascot refresh last year, M&M’s announced Monday it is taking an “indefinite pause” from using its candy-coated mascots, saying the “last thing M&M’s wanted” was to be “polarizing.” I feel bad for any college student or current people that are in advertising or marketing. You literally have to worry about total strangers and not your actual assigned task. Joke or not, the world now is in a bad over sensitive place. Wokeism is cancer. I feel bad for anyone offended by a candy acting as a candy in a candy commercial.
