Honestly.....this is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time.
Okay, first off let me just say that I believe that I am generally a fairly sane individual. I mean sure, I know we all have our little quirks which make us unique (slightly crazy) but for the most part my marbles remain in a nice neat pile in my head. And for some reason, just reading this story makes me feel as if I'm listening to someone drag nails across a chalkboard.
How on earth did we, as a society, get to this point? Have we truly reached a point in our lives where stuff like this is worthy of our attention? Does this not strike the rest of you as utter insanity on the part of Mars, Incorporated? And if it does seem as insane to you as it does to me, then you must also realize this insane response to a non-existent problem was brought on by a group of even more insane people who actually had a problem with cartoon candy people!!!!!
What the hell is going on!!!! How can we ever fix any of our very real problems in this country when people are focusing their attention on ridiculous issues like this? M&M's are candy people. That's all they will ever be. And if you are actually crazy enough to let the shoes a cartoon candy character is wearing bother you, then you should absolutely seek professional help.
PS. I'm sorry for the rant. But I truly can not express just how sick I am of seeing stories like this. We have so many real problems in the world. It just makes me sick to think people are wasting their time on ridiculous issues like these.

Meh. I'm pretty sure that it was all created by some advertising agency, who presented it to the decision-makers at Mars, who okayed it. But those decision-makers don't actually make the delicious candy, or have any hand in the recipes, and likely have never been on the candy factory floor.
I don't care how Mars Inc advertises its products. They don't really need to advertise, because they're too darn good to give up. If Mars Inc stopped all advertising, I'd still buy my weekly supply of M&Ms Peanut.

Exactly! This is why the whole thing is so ridiculous to me. There is no reason for this nonsense. It's time everyone started ignoring the few loons who actually complain about the shoes on a piece of candy in a commercial instead of trying to make them happy. You can never make people who find this sort of thing to complain about happy. It's impossible.
I don't care if they change the animation of their little m&m characters, but I very much roll my eyes and the Grand Proclimation regarding DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION when discussing an animated piece of chocolate candy

Politics is more infectious than Omicron.
It has leaked its way into the MARS Candy Factory.
I'm wondering what make over the Yellow "Peanut" M&M will get since he's supposed to a mentally slow White guy!! I'm pretty sure the political officers within Mars Inc., are fine with that one.
Well, I guess I'll be crossing off M&Ms from my snack list.
