It put the company once again knee-deep into culture wars controversy. Candy maker Mars announced that the limited edition all-female pack will include only Purple, Brown and Green the candys 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. Purple, the spokescandy announced last year (and the first new M&MS character in a decade), is a purple peanut M&M. According to the brand, she is a singer who forgoes high heels for lace-up boots and has a quirky, confident personality. The M&MS 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, said Gabrielle Wesley, chief marketing officer for Mars Wrigley North America, in a press release. The packs come in three options: milk chocolate, peanut butter and peanut. Mars said that a portion of profits will go to organizations that are uplifting and empowering women, including She Is The Music and We Are Moving the Needle, nonprofit organizations that support women in the music industry. The all-female pack quickly sparked culture wars outrage on right-wing news networks and on social media. One Fox anchor said the feminist-forward pack emboldens China. If this is what you need for validation, an M&M that is the color that you think is associated with feminism, then Im worried about you, anchor Martha MacCallum said Monday. I think that makes China say, Oh, good, keep focusing on that. Keep focusing on giving people their own color M&MS while we take over all of the mineral deposits in the entire world. A graphic on a show even called the candy woke. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/4/AAMkx7AAEE_q.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/5/AAMkx7AAEE_r.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/6/AAMkx7AAEE_s.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/7/AAMkx7AAEE_t.jpg --- ...to make my way in the world as a music man <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:970763911] in M&M's ...
