I don't care what they do one way or the other. But a lot of companies that are going woke are finding out later on that it wasn't a good move.

Like what, telling the Russians that they can "make an incursion" into Ukraine. Is that what the adults are doing?

Well, I guess I'll be crossing off M&Ms from my snack list.
Remember when they wouldn't allow M and M's to be featured in "ET", because they didn't want their product associated with "aliens"? How "unwoke" of them. Hershey (and Reese's Pieces) ended up laughing all the way to the bank.

Right Joe?
They're keeping Joey busy and out of trouble by having him sort through a bag of M and M's, and picking out the defective ones...the W's.

Once you have Tucker Carlson whining, you've hit paydirt. These people have a victimization fetish.

Should we not assume that you're familiar with the concept of marketing?

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?
*ahem* Aren't you focusing your attention on this issue? I'd never have noticed, except that now you've brought my attention to it. Congratulations. You've done just what the marketers hoped you'd do.

What, exactly, do you suppose M&M/Mars should do about inflation, stock market, and housing?

Forced? LMAO. You could have scrolled right past that article. Instead, you chose to whine about it. So who's wrong here?

Marketing is a plague? Well, OK, you might have something there.

Or are you upset because "orange M&M's shoe laces will now be tied"
Spot on. I wonder what has the OP so tied in knots - not unlike the orange M&M character.

OK, so what should M&M/Mars do about that?

As for cancel culture, take that up with all the people upthread who have vowed never to eat a M&M/Mars product because of the change in the M&M animated characters.

M&Ms are a metaphor for life as it should be.
I kinda like that.
