Can you imagine a life so pathetic that you have to pressure a company to change the way its mascot dresses?
Believe it or not, it just happened, twice.
Both A&W Root Beer and M&M’s have some major changes coming.
We Get It
First, let’s talk about the M&Ms.
Recently, a more inclusive purple M&M was introduced.
The company also did a wardrobe change on several of the existing candies to better empower women and be more inclusive and kinder…

Now the candies are gone altogether, so no more humorous commercials for fear of offending the eternally offended.
Next up is Rooty, the bear mascot of A&W Root Beer.
Rooty only wore a sweater, but he was just given a pair of pants because apparently, a male cartoon bear without pants is too much for people to do deal with these days.
This is the statement released by the company on the wardrobe change…

Just a truly sad commentary of what this country is turning into.
