Here’s a breakdown of Tucker Carlson’s before and after comments at M&M’s switching out its green and brown endorser shoes.
“If you’re really upset about the ‘shoes’ that cartoon candy is ‘wearing’,” one Twitter user wrote in response to M&M’s’ statement, “seek help immediately.”
They’re speaking to Carlson, who seems to claim a role in forcing M&M’s to do something about shoes (and endorsements in general). The new face of M&M’s will be Maya Rodolph, whose mother is soul singer Minnie Ripperton.she Tell today net she is “excited” Take the mantel.

M&M spokescandies shoes before and after: What’s changed?
On January 20, 2022, M&M’s mascot gets a makeover. Its stated purpose is to “emphasize the importance of self-expression and the power of community through storytelling”.
“We’re excited to present our new M&M’s brand look and feel,” said one Jane Hwang, vice president of global marketing for Mars Wrigley, was quoted in a company press release as saying“Which fans will see come to life at all M&M’s touchpoints around the world.”
The release itself doesn’t actually mention the M&M mascot’s shoes specifically, but that’s part of what it is.As Design Boom pointed out at the time, it Cheerful characters are getting a makeover.
New colours, new shoes and “redesigned” personalities. A video uploaded on the official M&M’s YouTube channel at the time briefly introduced the new characters, or new looks for the old ones.

The most notable difference is arguably the green M&M spokesperson with a new pair of shoes.
That’s a big deal in the world of candy brand mascots. At least for Tucker Carlson, it does. At the time, many people expressed their thoughts on social media platforms.
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson aired his views on his nightly Fox News show.
Some have linked the change in the green M&M’s mascot to the aging process – see the before and after comparison of the endorser below. Green M&Ms are “in their 40s now,” they said, and she was wearing high heels (with nothing on her legs) before the change and white trousers and trainers after.
“Older women just can’t rest.”
How does Tucker Carlson feel about M&M’s ambassadors before and after the change?
Tucker Carlson equates “willful exclusion” with having “correct politics.”
He said the green M&M had lost her boots and the brown M&M had replaced her stilettos with lower ones. He believes this is a symptom of Mars Wrigley’s “awakened” political agenda.
Carlson also opposed the addition of purple M&Ms. He thought it was a “fat and obviously stuffy” gay spokesperson, which disturbed him.
Since M&M’s released its brand statement, Carlson has responded both on Twitter and on his show. He changed the description of purple M&Ms from “fat” to “large”; and said he took “full responsibility” for the company’s decision to change its advertising strategy.

It could also be a “very weird marketing ploy” ahead of the Super Bowl, the outlet added.
Meanwhile, Maya Rudolph describes herself as a “lifelong lover” of M&M’s. “I consider it an honor to be invited to an event for such a legendary brand.”
Let’s hope her choice of shoes doesn’t piss off Tucker Carlson.
