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.

My stepfather was a rather famous racehorse trainer 
in Melbourne, Australia. I lived there from age 11-14. 
I had my own pony, a retired racehorse, plus 2 dogs,  a cat, a cockatoo, all a big change from boarding school at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, since age 8. In my opinion, there is something very special between a girl and her horse. Much like dogs, they feel your moods and try to help. A girl can tell her horse anything, he listens and understands. Whenever I see a girl and her horse, I always smile.

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.

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.

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.
