The M&M’s candy is getting a new look for the New Year…and some people aren’t having it.

The company announced that the makeover would be a ‘fresh, modern take’ and help bring the characters into a “more dynamic, progressive world.”

 

Ok-ay.

If you look closely, you can see the big changes are in the footwear for the green and brown M&M’s.

Brown’s pumps are lowered to a more sensible height and green’s white-heeled go-go boots are switched for what Mars calls “cool, laid-back sneakers to reflect her effortless confidence.”

 

 

Now some Twitter users have objected demanding “bring ‘the sexy back.’

Tucker Carlson, who apparently had nothing better to do, criticized the rebranded cartoons for being “deeply unappealing” and androgynous.

One Twitter user calls Green’s new tennis shoes “old maiden, 40-50-year-old auntie sneakers.” Ouch.

Others banded about words like  “despicable,” “woke,” and “yass-denied” demanding the company  ‘Let the Green M&M Be a Nasty Little Slut.”

 

A brand representative protested, “As the world changes, so do we.”

Yes, we’re talking about CANDY.
