M&M’s new packaging causing a stir
M&M’S is making a statement with its latest candy pack, which features an all-female set of characters — including Purple, its newest addition. 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 candy’s 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&M’S 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.

How complicated the world got with its culture wars. At least they are not real wars as we can see now in Europe.
Jacki, the video was heartwarming. Thanks for the link.
Thank you, Elenor. Have a great weekend.
Hi, Jacki,
I loved the girl singing to a very appreciative horse. Also, how you find so many beautiful, exotic birds to share every day is amazing. Love it all.

Strong piece. Of course I like the pop of red! :-)
Dear Jane, so lovely to hear from you. Yes, I thought that was a precious video too. I guess I am a computer birdie? I look and hunt, and some are sent to me. Hope you are well, please take good care.
It always works, right? Thanks, John.
