M&M's Tosses Their 'Spokescandies' in
the Garbage After Woke Characters Cause Backlash

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 1/24/2023 2:29:46 AM

What used to be arguably America’s most famous candy became infamous over the course of the last few years as it descended into woke culture as many corporations did, and just like these other corporations, it paid the price. As previously covered by RedState, M&M’s marketing team decided to take the beloved characters and begin changing up how they act and behave. While Red and Yellow were left alone, Green was defeminized so that she wasn’t so obviously a woman, which was offensive to the hard left for some reason. Moreover, they began adding other colors for the various flavors coming out, but they were attached to social messaging

They still don't get it. You cannot unring this bell!! It's like suddenly putting Cap'n Crunch in a dress to make cereal more inclusive. Some ideas are better to not acted upon and some iconic things are better left alone!!

That whole woke mess made "New Coke" seem like a master advertising ploy!!!! Candy is first and foremost for children. Period!!! People (even a lot of lie-berals) are getting fed up with the groomers going for their children every chance they can.

They think backing off when they push too far is sufficient, but it is not. My husband will no longer drinks Coke products and switched to carbonated fruit drinks. We no longer shop at Walmart, but go to the locally owned grocery store. I left AT&T after 20 years and now use Patriot Mobile.

I used to buy those huge jars of M&Ms for my husband at Costco. That ended as soon as Mars introduced the homosexual candies. Never going back. Enjoy the s@ck, Mars.

The company might have been able to salvage this situation if they had fired the marketing team that decided to embrace lgbt+ and announced they will focus on selling candy. Instead, the company mocked their customers with that snarky announcement regarding their "spokescandy". As for their new spokesperson, I didn't recognize her name but when I saw a photo of her I did recognize this liberal comedian. Sorry, she's not going to help the situation.

The Christmas commercial where they bump into Santa is the last one I saw. The one for Halloween where one turns into a ghost is the only other commercial for M&M's that comes to mind.

"America let's talk..." My hackles went up as soon as I saw those 3 words. Most candy is marketed toward kids. This is another glaring example of grooming. Stick your grooming you Kwirdoz. Humans have been fiddling each other since creation. The orifices you fiddle are your buisness, your problem and your choice. Preferring and fiddling orifices doesn't make you a sage, doesn't give you the right to groom kids, doesn't make you brave or a warrior or special. SO SHUT UP ABOUT IT! Stick your "spokescandies" in your orifices. If you are pushing your wokeness nonvirtues and grooming kids... WE ARE COMING FOR YOU

American Patriots... here is a novel, traditional idea MAKE YOUR OWN CANDY! marshmallows, fudge, bark, caramel..tbere are so many great recipes on line. It's so much better than store bought. You cannot believe the difference in taste. A homemade marshmallow is utterly divine. Try it. It's not hard and it's a great skill to have. Make candy as a family, share it over games or a movie. The most expensive thing you'll need to buy is a candy thermometer. Talk about American independence... make your own. Cheaper and better for you if you must have candy. I make my own all the time.

When you use a target group for your product good luck making your profits from that group. It would be easier to make a list of things I purchase than the list of boycotted products I no longer support. Many commercials are like ads telling me not to buy that product than as they want to appeal to me. Sell to the group in the commercial I'll just take a pass that goes for everything I view especially if they are proud to be 'woke'. It seems Mars is more condescending and concerned with our stupidity than to fix their problem of wokeness.

For those asking, Maya Rudolph is a fairly talented singer and comedian. She is the daughter of Minnie Riperton, who was a pop singer back in the 1970's. I have seen her in a lot of things, and never seen her get overtly political. She was on Saturday Night Live years ago, but I never watched it, so I have no idea what she was like in those days. I think she is likeable and non-offensive to most people, so Mars is hoping that she will be able to make people forget their grooming ways. Nope, not going to happen, but at least this is so much better than lesbian candy!!!

Project Veritas’ ‘bombshell’ video that uncovered that Pfizer was exploring intentionally mutating Covid strains to profit off future mRNA “vaccines” has now led to a Senate investigation. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has fired off a letter to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla to explain the revelations in Project Veritas’ undercover video footage featuring Jordon Triston Walker, a Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planner. “An investigative report suggests that Pfizer may be conducting gain-of-function research, which it dubs ‘directed evolution’ research to mutate the SARS-CoV-2 virus to create additional, more potent variants and vaccines to combat future variants,” Rubio’s office states.

On Thursday, Project Veritas shared a video of founder James O’Keefe was physically assaulted by Pfizer director Jordon Trishton Walker who went on an insane rampage after being confronted. The day prior, Project Veritas dropped a bombshell undercover video showing Walker admitting that Pfizer considered mutating COVID to be ready with more vaccines. “One of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it [COVID] ourselves so we could create — preemptively develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that.

Billions of dollars worth of U.S. weapons are on the negotiating table between Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Afghanistan’s Taliban government, according to at least one insider. Presidentish Joe Biden’s bungled bugout from Afghanistan resulted in a windfall for the new radical Islamic government, including artillery, attack helicopters, and thousands of HUMVEES, machine guns, radios — all left behind as our orderly withdrawal degenerated into a rout. The Department of Defense estimates the total value of the gear Biden left behind at a whopping $7.12 billion, and now Putin is reportedly offering to buy whatever he and the battered Russian Army need.

What is it with Yankees burning Atlanta? We’ve already learned that the vast majority of the Antifa insurrectionists who terrorized Atlanta over the weekend — and have occupied the future site of a public safety training facility for months — hailed from nowhere near Atlanta, but the more we learn about the Antifa criminals who attacked cops and did damage all over downtown Atlanta, we realize that these aren’t oppressed minorities rising up against the system. It turns out the Atlanta terrorists are largely children of immense privilege. Take, for example, the rather evil-looking Francis Carroll (whose name WSB misspelled below),

Florida teachers are being told to make their classroom libraries — and any other books that haven’t been approved by the state — inaccessible to students. The policy was put into place last week in response to HB 1467, which Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed into law last March. That law established that teachers could not pick books that they say are appropriate for their students based on their own idea of what’s “appropriate.” The teachers are complaining that the state doesn’t trust them to choose only approved literature. And they’re right. And that’s a good thing. I’m pretty much a free-speech absolutist.

Last January, Joe Biden set the Democratic base ablaze with the incendiary charge that Republicans were suppressing the votes of minorities. “Jim Crow 2.0 is about two insidious things: voter suppression and election subversion,” Biden told a crowd at Atlanta University. “It’s no longer about who gets to vote; it’s about making it harder to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote and whether your vote counts at all.” “It’s not hyperbole; this is a fact.” At the time, it was a supposition, not a fact, to claim that the Republican election reforms would suppress the black vote. And as it turns out, it certainly was hyperbole.

Joe Biden stored top-secret files with the “sensitive compartmented information” (SCIF) designation at Penn Biden Center in DC (found on Nov. 2).

The change in policy of allowing UAC's into the U.S. was one of the first changes made by the Biden administration, quickly resulting in thousands of unaccompanied minors arriving to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA) is targeting Franklin’s 1968 hit “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” which they say “perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes.” The group claims, “There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman” and is calling on the streaming platforms to cancel the song.

One of the strangest parts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been all of the public health “experts” who openly lied to the American people while expecting to be lauded as heroes in response. Certainly, most have witnessed Dr. Anthony Fauci’s grotesque level of arrogance over the years, with numerous examples of the good doctor admitting to lying in order to get the outcome he desired from the public. For his efforts, he’s got magazine covers and million-dollar awards. But we shouldn’t forget about Dr. Deborah Birx, the other half of Donald Trump’s initial COVID-19 advisory team.

The scope of the relevant Presidential Records Act (PRA) includes individuals dating back to the Reagan administration. Both Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush have since passed.
