"Dynamic"
"I don't eat candy bc it's 'dynamic,'" an upset M&Ms fan wrote in a tweet. "It's bc it Tastes Good! I know it's a marketing thing, but seriously, it's Taste not the packaging!"
"21st Century"
"Finally. Wasn't comfortable buying M&Ms with all that outdated imagery. Lets hope other gas station foods like slim jims, camel cigarettes, and egg salad sandwiches will be joining us in the 21st century soon as well," somebody joked.
"Ignoring Child Labor"
"Thank you M&Ms for redesigning the talking M&Ms to reflect the progress we've made as a society. My five year old daughter cries every time she watches the commercial where they meet Santa, because the talking M&Ms don't look like her, and neither does Santa," a Twitter user quipped.
"Personalities"
"Huh? I just ate them. I didn't really think of them as having personalities," tweeted one M&Ms fan. "Not sure I can eat them thinking of them that way."
"Sense of Belonging"
"It's candy. I put like twenty of them in my mouth at a time," someone commented. "The only sense of belonging I care about is how many of them belong in my belly."
"Anthropomorphic Candy"
"Yes making anthropomorphic candy people more diverse is indeed a pressing issue that will solve world wide problems," a Twitter said sarcastically. "I can't imagine what its like to see a commercial where a piece of candy doesn't look or act like my ethnic group. Must be hell to live that way."
