M&M’s ads featuring “talking” sweets won’t be around in the near future. The producer decided to abandon this idea due to criticism of the changes in the appearance and character of the characters. This is stated in the company’s statement on Twitter.
The truth is, at the beginning of last year, M&M’s updated the look of some female characters. For example, green sugar was replaced with high-heeled boots for sneakers, and brown sugar was replaced with more comfortable low-heeled shoes. In addition, the brand has abandoned sexist calls such as “Mrs. and Mrs.”.
“Over the past year, we’ve made some changes to our favorite talking candy. We weren’t even sure if anyone would notice. And we certainly didn’t think it would blow up the internet. But now we get it—even sweet shoes can be divisive. That’s the last thing M&M wants as we all strive to bring people together.”
