The green M&M has a new look. Not everyone is impressed. 

The problem? The once-sexy cartoon candy seems to have been stripped of her mojo, some say.  

In photos and videos released by candy company Mars Inc., the humanlike green M&M no longer has her signature pose—one hand on her head, and another by her hip. The peachy skin tone on her legs and arms is now a cartoonish white. And her high-heeled boots have been swapped for sneakers, which the company said reflects what people are wearing during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Ditching the heels gives Green a modern look, said Marissa Beck, senior director of brands and content at Mars. “We love this laid-back, post-Covid world that we live in,” she said. 

But others said the move was meant to water down Green’s sex appeal.
