We weren\u2019t sure if anyone would even notice. And we definitely didn\u2019t think it would break the internet. But now we get it \u2014 even a candy\u2019s shoes can be polarizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we have decided to take an indefinite pause from the spokescandies,\u201d The statement went on. \u201cIn their place, we are proud to introduce a spokesperson America can agree on: the beloved Maya Rudolph. We are confident Ms. Rudolph will champion the power of fun to create a world where everyone feels they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A&#038;W released a statement on Tuesday mirroring the language used in M&#038;M\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica, let\u2019s talk,\u201d A&#038;W stated in its statement. \u201cSince 1963, Rooty the Great Root Bear has been our beloved spokesbear. We knew people would notice because he\u2019s literally a 6-foot tall bear wearing an orange sweater. But now we get it \u2013 even a mascot\u2019s lack of pants can be polarizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we have decided that Rooty will wear jeans going forward,\u201d The statement went on. \u201cNot to worry though: he will remain our official spokesbear. After all, he is un-bear-ably cute and im-paw-ssible to replace. We are confident Rooty will continue to champion good food &#038; good times for many years to come\u2026now in denim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company then added: \u201cIs now a good time to mention this is a joke? \ud83d\ude05\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is it a good moment to tell this joke? \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A&#038;W Restaurants (@awrestaurants) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/awrestaurants\/status\/1618272834723418112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 25, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>M&#038;M\u2019s, the popular chocolate candy owned by Mars Wrigley, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mms-pulls-spokescandies-after-supposed-controversy-sales-dipped-after-going-woke\">announced<\/a> It was taking an \u201cindefinite pause\u201d You can use it! \u201cspokescandies\u201d in advertisements following criticisms from\u00a0Fox News host Tucker Carlson over changes that the company made to the appearances of the spokescandies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cM&#038;M\u2019s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous,\u201d Carlson stated. \u201cUntil the moment when you wouldn\u2019t want to have a drink with any one of them.
