M&M’s mascots get ‘refreshed’ look to reflect ‘today’s society’

M&M’s are getting a sweet makeover in 2022. The chocolate candies that melt in your mouth and not in your hand are giving fans a new way to love their favorite treat. Mars, Inc. announced that they will be redesigning their M&M’s mascots — the array of rainbow-colored talking chocolate balls. The six “refreshed” characters are most noticeably sporting new shoes. The green M&M has thrown out her high-heeled boots for sneakers, while the brown candy is wearing lower heels. Both the red and yellow characters’ shoes have laces, while the orange orb’s kicks now have untied laces. Each M&M’s shape has now also been more defined with arms and legs that are now not a tan hue, but of a lighter, more neutral shade.
