M&M's Roasted After Revealing 'All-Female Character' Packages
Candy maker Mars is facing mockery for unveiling limited edition packaging for M&M’s meant to “celebrate women.”
In a tweet, culture news site Pop Base wrote, “M&M’s are set to release their first ever all-female character packages.”

One Twitter user wrote, “I hope this includes all m&ms that identify as female as well. Please don’t exclude the peanut m&ms. Having nuts doesn’t make them any less female if that’s what they choose.”

CNN reported Tuesday, “Candy maker Mars announced that the limited edition all-female pack will include only Purple, Brown and Green — the candy’s trio of female characters, who are upside-down on the package — to ‘celebrate women everywhere who are flipping the status quo.’ The packs are currently on sale.”
Gabrielle Wesley, chief marketing officer for Mars Wrigley North America, said in a press release, “The M&M’S brand is on a mission to use the power of fun to create purposeful connections, as we work to create a world where everyone feels they belong.”
The packaging will offer candy buyers milk chocolate, peanut, or peanut butter M&M’s.

At least they didn't make the package pink.
If you bite them just right they will spread right open and you can lick the filling out before the outside candy melts. Technique counts.
It's all about licking, sucking and going for all the pleasure possible!
I imagine that some blue-haired old biddy coven will now have to picket in Cleveland Tennessee.
(Don't even get me started on talking about eclairs)
Be careful about saying things like that - there are rules here about what children can read.
