(National File) Today Mars, Inc., the company behind those bags of M&M’s, has announced that the sugar coated chocolates are going woke. Specifically, they’re making the female candy characters more masculine in a bid to make the sweet treats “inclusive.”
Apparently this is part of a corporate effort on behalf of the candy company to instill a “sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025.”
They will accomplish this goal by switching out the shoes on the green M&M character.
“Previously seen in ads posing seductively and strutting her stuff in white go-go boots,” The Hill explained that the green M&M will now “sport a pair of sneakers.”
The brown M&M, another female character, is no longer “bossy.” Now, Mars says she is “Just the boss.”
