M&M's iconic characters have gotten a modern makeover for a 'more dynamic, progressive world,' Mars announced.

By Alexandra LarkinElaine Quijano got a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the family that has been making the candy for more than a hundred yearsM&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 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 hadfor 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.

It’s rare Ms. Brown and I get to spend time together without some colorful characters barging in. – Ms. Green

I could go for some of that green stuff ...

This is too much 🤦🏾‍♀️

Why? They’re canceling for goodness sake.

Green M&Ms Supposedly Make you Horny, Well that's the Myth

🤦

go woke go broke. nothing wrong with out iconic M&Ms

Que tontería en serio

Thank God for all the pandering. If not...perhaps blacks would still be getting gunned down en masse in Chicago, Baltimore etc. And for the that we thank you

Ha - who needs wokeness idiocy - given the price hikes w/ the 38oz party size bag practically doubling to $12 in our area, they've already fallen off the grocery list.

Marketing and sociology degrees really paying off now. Bar bill must be even bigger. WTF

thankfully I was introduced to M&M’s before each of the colors represented a personality profile of American demographics

Yet they still use slave labour to harvest cocoa beans, I love the priorities of corporate wokeism.

Regressive

There are some things that just need to be left as is... Quite frankly, at least from an esthetic standpoint, I don't agree.

Gimme a break! 🤪

And this is news,WHY? Worlds falling apart inept leadership and the news of the day is a M&M makeover

Somebody ought to tell Mars that anything going woke also goes to shit

Publicity stunt to get attention in a world filled with lots of crazy news cycles.

So how will I know which candy I'm supposed to be attracted to?

Are they anatomically correct?

Would

We used to smoke cigarettes in bars eating free hot dogs out of some old crock pot. We made off color jokes, stumbled and threw darts. At some point a bag of fresh fries showed up and we all dove in. These robot kids today have no idea how much fun life used to be. piss off M&M.

I'm old enough to remember when CBS had an actual NEWS division. Can you believe that?

I just want to eat the damn things not start a movement! IT IS CANDY!

Even candy is “woke”. The insanity gets deeper by the day.

Ridiculous
