Maya Rudolph Maya Rudolph made her debut as M&M's new spokesperson during a Super Bowl ad for "Ma&Ya's Candy Coated Clam Bites" but was promptly replaced with the original candy mascots in a postgame "press conference."

M&M's became the focus of a partisan backlash after the brand made a number of stylistic tweaks to its cast of “spokescandies” last year. In January 2022, the brand replaced the green M&M's knee-high boots with flats and swapped the brown M&M's stilettos for lower heels.

The brand piled onto the discourse with a 15-second teaser spot dropped yesterday in which Rudolph announces the rebranding, saying: “Since we all love M&M's - and let's face it, me - it only makes sense that I am renaming America's favorite chocolate candies 'Ma&Ya's.” The candy will not only bear her name but also ...

M&M's, the ubiquitous candy brand owned by Mars Wrigley, announced on Monday that it would take “an indefinite pause” from its “spokescandies,” deciding that the cartoon characters with arms, legs and minimal facial features were simply too divisive for a polarized America to take.

In this lab, you will experiment with a half-life model in which M&M candies represent radioactive atoms. The imprinted "M" on each candy represents whether the atom has become stable or not. Students place the candies "M"-side down in a box, shake them, and then count the number of "changed" atoms.

M&M's, a Mars brand, hit the Super Bowl screen with a new commercial, which was yet another surprise from the brand that stirred up over the course of the last year. The commercial featured Maya Rudolph introducing “Ma&Ya's,” a satirical take on the candies as “candy-coated clam bites.”

In the wake of recent drama, M&M's is trading its “spokescandies” for a new spokesperson, Maya Rudolph.

The candy originated in the United States in 1941, and M&M's have been sold in over 100 countries since 2003. They are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years.

Recently, M&M's released new packaging that featured all female characters for the first time. Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson and other conservatives have railed against the changes as being “woke,” creating online backlash against the brand.

The two 'M's in the name actually represent Forrest E. Mars Sr. – the founder of Mars – and Bruce Murrie, the son of Hershey Chocolate's president William F. R.

The Super Bowl M&Ms "controversy" was actually just a publicity stunt. Mmm, chocolate-dipped clam bites...
