    M&Ms go woke! Chocolate giant will trade green M&M character's stilettos for sneakers and end her rivalry with brown M&M in order to reflect 'a more dynamic, progressive world'
    • The changes, which will take effect immediately, gives the characters a more modern look to emphasize each character's 'personalities'
    • The biggest changes appear to be to the two explicitly female M&Ms, the green and brown ones
    • Mars, the maker of the candies, has been criticized in the past for making the green M&M 'too sexy' and a possible flirtation with the brown M&M
    • The solution appears to be the green M&M losing her stiletto boots in favor of sneakers and the brown M&M wearing slightly lower heels than before
    • Mars wants the green M&M to be 'better represented to reflect confidence and empowerment, as a strong female, and known for much more than her boots'
    • The red M&M - who has vacillated between leader and bully toward the other M&Ms - will be adjusted to be more kind to his fellow characters

    One must say: This is the most unnecessary subject to debate so far. Anyway, once they go in they all taste the same.

    Good call.

    BTW, this local Portland establishment is getting some national acclaim.

    Matt Walsh had the funniest take on this yesterday, 8 minutes of straight sarcasm. Enjoy!
