    People in the reddit thread are rightfully pointing out this is probably going to lead up to some kind of reveal in a super bowl commercial where they bring them back

    10/10 marketing to get viral publicity

      reveal in a super bowl commercial where they bring them back

      Calling it now: One of the male M&M's is going to come out as trans, thereby one-upping their previous wokeness and sending the chuds into orbit.

      You read it here first folks.

      For all the things :reddit-logo: does, they do tend to have a few guys that can totally call the shot on stuff like this. Now that you mention it, I can't un-see it.

      That honestly sounds like a genius marketing move that absolutely would be done for a superbowl commercial. Take everyone's favorite "candy mascots" away as a tease then bring them back. The tweet itself seems tongue in cheek. While I don't care about the mascots themselves, this subtle dab on right wingers would actually be pretty hilarious.

      Or it could just be the first victory in a long time that chuds get. Either way... its just fucking candy at the end of the day.

        This got me looking up Baby Nut lore and apparently he's a reincarnation of the original Mr. Peanut, who I assume is trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth for some legume-related sin commited millennia ago

      That was my first thought too. The whole "we didn't know how divisive our candy is, but I'm sure we can all agree that Maya Rudolph is cool :)" press statement reads as super snarky to me.
