Last year, M&M’s spokescandies underwent a redesign in order to reflect “a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive.”
Some of the changes included sneakers for the Green M&M instead of heels and block heels instead of stiletto heels for the Brown M&M.
Amid the changes, the Internet had a lot of opinions, even prompting a Fox News segment from conservative host Tucker Carlson that had him saying, “M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous. Until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them. That’s the goal.” He also branded the candies “too woke.”
Now, M&M’s has released a statement revealing they’re taking an “indefinite” pause on their spokescandies, and have replaced them with Maya Rudolph as the new spokesperson for the beloved candy brand. She will be starring in a Super Bowl commercial.
