[hearlady]

How about that.

 

[NorthernLight]

Polarizing shoes, what?

 

[Jules]

Sigh. You’d think that the woke folks would have been more upset about them being cannibalized. I’m not woke and these spokes folk always struck me as weird.

 

[Myrtle]

There is always someone who will be offended. It’s time to quit giving in to such people and just sell candy or whatever your product is.

 

[Disgustedman]

I was ok with red and yellow. I don't have a tv. So tv ads don't matter.

 

[MikeyDude]

Wow - people complained because they changed things, so to make things better instead of putting it back to what people wanted, they changed things again?

Add this to the "How Have Things Changed" thread.

Polarizing shoes, what?

Those boots were too sexy for some.

 

[MikeyDude]

And she was too feminine.

Oh brother. You'd think a big company like Mars, Inc. would better spend their time and money working on REAL issues like hunger and homelessness. A real person instead of the cute little characters is what they're spending/wasting their resources on? Good gracious. SMH

 

[Ceege]

Can't get any progress in gun control, but ban those boots.

 

[Pepper]

I forgot who Maya Rudolph is, or did I ever know? Name sounds familiar.

 

[oldaunt]

Guess I'll be sticking to Hersheys kisses....thats too stupid for words

 

[Pepper]

Wait. Is she SNL?

 

[Pink Biz]

 

[Alligatorob]

"even a candy's shoes can be polarizing"

Wow!

I'd have never known...

 

[Ceege]

Maya Rudolph

[Pepper]

Thanks Ceeg, yeah that's who I thought

I'm tempted to say this is one of the most idiotic things I've heard lately.. but I'm sure something else will come up to outdo that thought.


It's CANDY, for cryin' out loud!!!

 

[Right Now]

THIS!!! ^^^^^^^

 

[Pepper]

It's CANDY, for cryin' out loud!!!

Life can be frustrating, right?

 

[JaniceM]

Life can be frustrating, right?

For sure.

 

[katlupe]

I have no idea what they are talking about and I don't care. I don't buy that stuff anyway.

 

[MikeyDude]

I have no idea what they are talking about and I don't care.

It's better that way.

 

[CallMeKate]

I guess a piece of candy wearing boots is more offensive to Mars than a spokesperson who did a song called "Together in Pooping" on an album called "Come Poop with Me." And right now my Mama would be saying, "Kate! Your eyes are gonna stick that way!"
