Even candy is politicized.

Well... there’s always purple skittles. In fact a purple skittles with M&M’s are a pleasing combination.

Meanwhile...

Candy industry met 5-year calorie reduction and labeling goals

But no reduction in price, was there?

I’d love to get a close up look at the people involved in this M&M advertising campaign. Only a mental case believes that a purple M&M indicates inclusion and will increase sales.

Purple paint on trees and things here in Texas means no trespassing.

M&M Mars is a private company not publicly traded. However, they will regret this after the Halloween sales figures come in.

M&M Mars is now marketing to groomers?

“... they will regret this after the Halloween sales figures come in.”

Doubtful. Pretty much the only ones who’ll be aware of this are political wonks like us. A few printed business card sized notes placed on the candy shelves in October might help spread the word.

Of course, if the new purple character in the TV ads is super swishy then others might catch on.

Pretty much the only ones who’ll be aware of this are political wonks like us.

I’m good with “acceptance and inclusivity”, as long as I don’t have to become a whacky left wing socialist.

How dare they use the pronoun “she”! I thought that any new “inclusive” candy would at least use a new pronoun!

These are not people. They are fictional characters. They don’t exist. They don’t have attributes. They are ideas that exist only in one’s imagination.

When someone can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality, that’s insanity.

“Designed to represent acceptance and inclusivity, our newest member is known for her earnest self-expression. Keen self-awareness, authenticity and confidence are the driving forces behind Purple’s charm and quirky nature.” People are actually paid to dream up and write that effluvia?
