M&Ms introduces new Purple candy character. Conservatives are suggesting she’s transgender.
"M&Ms candy falls victim to woke mob... again."
R.E.M. updated lyrics
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my shit over M&M's
Trying to keep up my stupid
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
So indecisive
Wish I was more incisive
I thought that I heard you laughing
No, more like guffawing
Yep, I heard right
Oh I'm such a sad f'ing sight
Here in my corner

“She’s just gonna be she!”
That’s what they’re singing about the new “purple-y peanut shaped chocolate candy” joining the six current characters in M&Ms’ line-up of “melts on your mouth, not in your hand” candy-coated chocolates.
The new lavender-hued candy’s pronouns are a chocolatey her/she. Her sexual orientation is left to the eater’s imagination. Her “purple-y” shade and the company’s “global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive” is a hint.
She drinks. In the video debut, Purple sprawls over a platter of wine and cheese declaring in song, “My perfect party would be finishing this puzzle of some brie and Chablis,” the background chorus asserting her assertiveness, “This is she being she!”
Purple joins Red and Yellow, introduced in 1954, Blue, Green and Orange from 1998, and Brown, debuting in 2012. “Peanut-shaped” Purple is the third female in the line-up, joining Brown and Green, and the very first female peanut.
M&Ms were created in 1941 and went into battle with US troops during World War II. They were reintroduced to candy lovers in 1996 as “characters” in a Super Bowl ad in an iconic campaign featuring Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green as sarcastic, simple, cool and sexy, respectively. The makeover from ad agency BBDO was a hit.
The song and music video, titled “I’m Just Gonna Be Me,” are part of M&M’s FUNd initiative, which will donate $1 for every stream to non-profit Sing For Hope, with a $500,000 ceiling.
Purple is open about her occasional discomfort in the spotlight. “You might say I’m awkward, and hey, I would agree,” she croons. “She’s pretty awkward,” the chorus chimes in. Purple reproves politely: “But let’s leave that line for me.” “Our bad,” mopes the refrain.
A character revamp in January this year switched out white-toned limbs for character-colored extremities, and gender-emphasizing accessories were swapped for more neutral alternatives. Tucker Carlson called the changes “deeply unappealing and totally androgynous.” The loss of Brown’s stiletto heels was a particular loss for the Fox host: “Less sexy.”
No word yet on Carlson’s reaction to Purple’s chunky lace-up boots.
