The Mars confectionery company has given its M&M characters a makeover to bring them into the 21st century.
M&Ms characters to become more inclusive https://t.co/pcgRqcxJ0q pic.twitter.com/JxFbZWUfZa

M&Ms is a chocolate brand on a mission. We believe in championing the power of fun to create a world where everyone feels they belong.
The orange M&M is now more open about its anxiety, but the most obvious visual difference is the shoes, particularly on the ‘female’ green and brown M&Ms.
Green’s boots have been swapped for comfy trainers and brown’s stilettos ditched for a lower, more practical heel – presumably for when she has to negotiate stairs.

The move was met with a fair amount of mockery – some lighthearted, some fuelled by genuine outrage.
Dumbest thing of the day. OMG…They’re friggen’ M&Ms. https://t.co/zGKjUGuLpA

Instead of making the Green M&M less sexy, they should’ve made them ALL sluttier https://t.co/uumaGRZ28E

M&Ms clearly spotted the furore.

Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson had his own somewhat disturbing take on the revamp, and Acyn Torabi shared the Fox News presenter’s rant.
Tucker: M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous. Until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them. That’s the goal. When you’re totally turned off, we’ve achieved equity… pic.twitter.com/rz7VtVCHWu

Tucker: If you look at him, the orange M&M does appear very anxious. Maybe he doesn’t like all the ugly new shoes he sees around him. Maybe he liked the sexy boots. pic.twitter.com/ePlcMXZJKW

Of course, Carlson’s bizarre self-own trended wildly on Twitter – and a lot of the reactions were NSFW.

The big question is this –
How the hell do you get upset about m&ms but not a sitting president overturning an election
