The manufacturer of the famous multi-colored chocolate chips M&M’s decided to abandon the “talking sweets” – brand characters from its commercials.
The company is tired of adding, changing, and redesigning cartoon characters. Demands to change her shoes to more gender-neutral shoes, then shorten her legs and repaint her hands, reject the addresses “sir” and “ma’am” hit the mark of almost anyone: feminists, women’s clubs fat and ugly women, LGBT organizations, in a word, all those who only do what makes gender neutrality necessarily reign even in the painted world.
So, trying to please everyone, M&Ms fell into the trap of turning their signature characters into ugly, sexless creatures that no one wants to look at.
Well-known American television presenter Tucker Carlson commented on the company’s decision: “M&M’s will not rest until every one of its cartoon characters becomes extremely unattractive and completely sexless. And you don’t want to drink with any of them.”
The M&M’s justify themselves, admitting that they “made some changes to the ‘talking candy’, but they were sure few people would notice.”
– Even “candy” shoes can be separated, – they complained there.
But sane people took notice and unleashed a wave of outrage, flooding the company’s office with their letters demanding that the “talking candy” be reverted to its original image.
As a result, M&M’s will completely refuse “sweet talk” for an indefinite period of time, and actress Maya Rudolph will become the face of the brand.
