Early last year, M&M's gave the mascots more unique personalities and a new look. The brand also introduced a new purple M&M in September meant to represent acceptance and inclusivity.
As part of the makeover, the green M&M's notably changed her knee-high heeled boots for sneakers. The brown M&M's, meanwhile, switched her stilettos for shorter heels.
The rebrand sparked backlash from conservatives, including Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who have criticized the "woke M&M's."
M&M's said it didn't expect the changes to their "spokescandies," the colorful cartoon M&M's mascots, would "break the internet," noting that “even a candy’s shoes can be polarizing.”
