M&M's Characters
The M&M's characters have gotten a makeover, though you may not even notice the subtle differences that promote gender equality. Everyone has received new shoes, including swapping Green's go-go boots for sneakers and lowering Brown's heels to a sensible pump. The goal was to make the characters, especially the female ones, more representative of the consumer, according to the company. Green and Brown have received promotions as well, appearing front and center in more ads and packaging in an effort to promote better gender representation.

I took this pic earlier because I thought it should say "fat people" to be more inclusive.

I question how much help one needs to desire to animate and give a back story to confectionary products before eating them.

Chiropractor - So what did you do on Memorial Day weekend?


Me - Biggest highlight is detailing a 91 Miata



Chiro (Who is bending me like origami) - You like to do that?


Me - Yeah, just my back doesn't like it too much


Chiro - Oh that's cool, I want to sell my car but I want to get it detailed first. Would you be interested in doing something like that?


Me (Who continues to pop like bubble wrap) - Eh, sure. Let me know when you'd like to do it.

I'll have to come back to this comment when I get out of work because my browser blocks Youtube.



I think I can grow a small clientele by word of mouth and try to make some extra cash this summer. Is just very straining on my upper back, but nothing some Ibuprofen can't fix.

How...just how. But I'm intrigued and almost wish to work on something like that. I just know I wouldn't be able to move for 3 days after it.
