The green M&M’s boots have been given the boot.
In one of the more entertaining episodes of corporate wokeness gone wrong, the 81-year-old M&M brand has reimagined its mascots for a more “inclusive” age. In practice, this means changes to the two female M&Ms’ shoes. The green one has swapped her go-go boots for sneakers and the brown one’s heels have been slightly shortened.
The whole political spectrum is united in anger. “These overtures at progressivism often comically fold back into the retrograde ideas they claim to eschew,” wrote John Paul Brammer of The Washington Post. “M&Ms will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous,” raged Fox News’s Tucker Carlson. It’s unclear how much of Gen-Z even cares.
