M&Ms becoming MaYa
Thread Rating:
M&M recently changed the appearances of their cartoon spokespeople. Images get updated all the time, but the new M&M images spooked a famous entertainer who thought the females weren't sexy or something. Fearful of a boycott by the man's fans, Mars quickly retreated and canceled the new advertising campaign. They not only retired the images, but they retired the brand.
M&Ms have been transformed and are now called MaYa after the new spokesperson. Orange has just dropped a song on Spotify and another is seen in a new Snickers ad.
The candy formerly known as M&Ms has a significant advertising presence during the Superbowl.
It's just a marketing schtick to take advantage of/make fun of all the snowflakes who got offended by anthropomorphic candy being female.
Pretty funny, if you ask me.

A&W uses a Bear as it's spokesperson. They announced that because of M&Ms decision, it would put pants on the bear and apologized for its Polarizing mascot. Fox News did a segment yesterday without realizing the press release was a satire.
It is so obvious an angle that I wonder what we are missing. Having the original guys return at the Super Bowl seems anti-climatic.

Why wouldn't people want to be woke? They want to be sleep?

You're right, it's blindingly obvious. There is zero chance that Mars would just dump their biggest mascots that have been in use for decades just because a couple of media outlets tried to manufacture controversy over some minor changes.
Mars is going to be laughing all the way to the bank...and I think I'm going to go buy some M&Ms this weekend....
