M&Ms are a joke

[kallend 1,623]

I mean, please, anthropomorphized candy needs to be more inclusive.

 

Which moronic marketing guru came up with this idea?

Is this capitalism at its very best?

(I'd just like it if the dark chocolate ones were easier to find).

Thanks, but here in Costa Rica that doesn't work so well.  The stores only carry the peanut and milk choc. ones, and feeding the monkeys is illegal.

You're scientist, science this out. You know how to do it: get a bag, eat one and write down the color and the type of chocolate. When you have it licked fingered out publish your findings here. Much appreciated.

I used to know a DZO who was also a package forwarding service, but he went on vacation for 15-25 years.

Dunno about that. but upsetting them with non-inclusive M&M characters is no doubt a serious offence.  Pura Vida.

You can be all Pura Vida as you like on vacation but if you're going to be pure woke it must include the hypothetical, imagined, and downright silly, too.

In America does it matter? Tucker Carlson complains new M&M's mascots are 'less sexy'  "On Friday's episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the Fox News host commented on the candy mascots' recent redesign, noting that "the brown M&M has, quote, 'transitioned from high stilettos to lower block heels' … [L]ess sexy. That's progress."

Carlson went on to argue this makeover is all part of a woke conspiracy to quench the sexual desire he assumes many of his viewers previously felt for the talking candies: "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. When you're totally turned off, we've achieved equity. They've won," Carlson said."

Ok, that makes this make more sense.

Seen on FB:

M&M Mars has relented. They're now going to produce a "Tucker Carlson" M&M.

White, bitter and sold in pack of only that one because they will melt down when placed near multi colored M&Ms.

By making it the monochrome (sepia toned) that they fondly remember.

Incorrectly, the way fond memories usually (always) are.

Either that, or pretending that the rest of the rainbow never existed.

Yes, that's a real thing.

I didn't believe you.

Rule 34 (feel free to look that up too).

If it exists, there's porn of it.

They can do some VERY creative and interesting things with computer animation these days.

I had to look it up. My mind says, "If I had the graphic talent to do that - they would be NFT's."

Winsor, good luck with your new nickel a pop business.  Have you had time to work out what sort of political system would fit with your world view? Inquiring minds and all.
