The crazy M&M controversy explained in under 1 minute

M&Ms are the latest casualty in America’s culture war. In 2022, M&Ms attempted to be more inclusive by altering the appearance of the ‘female’ spokescandies. But this month – when M&Ms added Purple to the line-up – Tucker Carlson declared war on the candy again.

As a person who isn't American, this sounds like nonsense to me

[chewwy]

I’ve been sitting here for a good 5 mins trying to figure out how an M&M can be obese

[TKZells]

Obese? She's literally the same size as the peanut m&ms.
Also, She's a candy.

[Eli-ells]

Don´t let the candies distract you from the fact that Mars is under investigation for dangerous amounts of lead and Cadmium in the chocolate

[amandalorian]

It’s almost like these candies can’t even be frumpy or obese or lesbian or empowered or disempowered…because they’re candies. And not even actual candies. Cartoons of candies. what a nothing distraction argument.

[lisainthestudio]

The purple m&m is the same shape as the yellow one, so why is yellow fine but purple is frumpy?

[rzionrnrzfm]

Seriously no where else can people be genuinely upset over a bunch of talking candies.

[BatAmerica]

Given Mars's method of making that chocolate, its mascots are the least of their problems.

I think M&M’s is trolling us all for publicity. And Carlson is falling for it
Edit: I was right lmaooo

[knowledgeispower]

Tucker Carlson making fun of M&Ms will never stop being comedic.

[RockySamson]

I didn’t know fighting over fictional characters was mature enough for a news anchor.

[morbidsearch]

The crowd who constantly moan about cancel culture has more projection than a movie theater

[siphillis]

It's good that we're talking about this and not how there have been more mass-shootings than days since the calendar rolled over.

[greenleopard]

So does Tucker Carlson think that the Blue and Yellow male m&Ms are obese? Aren't they peanut m&ms? Why is Tucker Carlson an m&m furry?

[elsehiszem]

Oh my, it's only some candy, people... I'm all for (over-)analyzing things, but launching a whole cultural war based on the ad design of M&Ms means that some of us have way more free time in their hands than they should. 🤦‍♀️

[SolitaryDust]

dude was down so bad he had to cancel it or his feeling for candy would not be contained any longer

[katherinealvarez]

How is this a controversy? It's more like an entry for a contest of idiocy.

[doublebubbletrouble_]

People really getting pressed over animated chocolate 💀

[yondermileslimpey]

Lmao the purple one looks like the yellow one. People are really out here blowing up over m&ms lmao I can't 🤣

[SkrToon]

As long as the Christmas ad with them finding Santa & they faint still airs like every other year I’ll be happy
