It’s candy, you idiots!

From Forbes

Mars, Incorporated, the producer of the popular M&Ms, announced this week that its famed characters will get a "modern makeover" and that will include more "nuanced personalities," as part of a "global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive."

“(T)he current green M&M character, which has been seen in ads posing seductively and wearing white go-go boots, will now sport a pair of sneakers instead. In addition, the description for the green candy on the M&M's website noted that she enjoys ‘being a hypewoman for my friends.’"

This is beyond stupid. People who make real money at Mars Inc. truly believe candy fans are going to buy more M&Ms because the candy makes them feel included. Damn!
