Now, M&M's are giving their
iconic characters a rebrand.
The company wants to makeover for a
quote more dynamic and progressive world.
The highlights include the Green Eminem
who had been criticized for being too sexy,
trading in her high heels for sneakers
to be friendlier with the Brown M&M,
the only other feminine Eminem
I brought in Brock Flyman,
who's my producer for the Reese Water Show
on Team 980 noon at 3:00 PM to discuss.
What do you make of all of this?
No one has consumed more bad television
snacks and ridiculous pop culture
than myself and I had no idea that
the M&M's had distinct personalities.
I am shocked that that the marketing
people behind them thought that we
were paying that close of attention,
and when I think about some of the famous.
Ad campaigns and characters from them.
I never asked myself any
questions about them.
I never wondered whether or not the
where's the beef lady might have rather
had some minestrone or a Turkey sandwich.
I don't know if there was beef between
the basis and the drummer from the
California Raisins, and you know,
I I had no idea that they had
distinct personalities or that
eminems expected us to pay attention.
And on top of that, like.
I don't want. Real human qualities.
In my food, I don't.
I don't really need them to
have distinct characteristics
where I then I'm feeling like,
you know,
I'm trying to devour this this
this snack that I've grown to
love and appreciate as a person.
That's how all all of us meat
eaters learn to live with ourselves.
I mean, there's one thing I've
watched M&M commercials and been like,
well, the ones kind of mean.
I don't know which one it was.
I didn't go back to the next one.
Be like let's see if Red One has a
better attitude this time right now,
how effective do you think this
will be at promoting inclusivity?
Or do you think this will
have any impact whatsoever?
I would be shocked to find out
first of all I would like to meet
the people who had complained.
Don't know if those people really
exist or or if they just over heard
someone say say something and they
thought that they need to apply
this and we need we need to get
out ahead of the cancel culture mob
before they come for the orange,
Eminem but it just it just seems like
they might be placing a little bit too
much importance on these characters.
I think that somebody high ranking
executive at Eminem got roasted
over Thanksgiving dinner for the
Green Eminem having on Gogo Boots.
And they just they got to thinking later
that night they were like they're coming.
They're coming for it.
It's just a matter of time.
This is a matter of time.
If you're going to be any piece of candy,
which would you choose and why?
And we go with 100 grand bar because
they are hard to take out there.
It seems and and it would give me
a longer lifespan because there's.
It always seems like the right
candy bar when I purchased it,
but there's really no perfect
temperature to eat it at and then it
just kind of ends up hanging out in the
refrigerator if it if it gets cold,
it's way too hard in the middle,
and when it's soft,
it's so chewy and stretchy that it
kind of ruins the outside of it.
So I like the idea of being
strangely appealing,
but not so appealing that I end
up going away.
I think I like the idea
of the good and plenty.
Because basically I would have eternal life.
Nobody who would buy me.
Nobody would consume me.
I would just be given from person
to person in place to place and
just live on in perpetuity. Yeah,
I would go good and plenty.
Definitely Mary Janes
and or like a mounds bar.
Something like that you just
will live forever just in in
the back of people's closets.
Last piece of candy I would
ever wanna be is the mamba.
You know the mamba Mamas are not bad,
but every time you see a mamba you
know you wish it was a starburst
or you wish it was a now and later
you definitely don't want it to be
a mamba and I don't need that kind
of rejection in my life if you wanna
hear more from Brock Tune into Team 980.
From noon to 3:00 PM,
the Reece water show Monday through Friday.
