FROM THE GET WOKE, GO BROKE FILES: M&M GETS WOKE AND LOCAL CANDY COLLECTORS END THEIR COLLECTIONS WITH LAST YEAR'S OFFERINGS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

LOCAL EASTER, VALENTINE'S DAY AND CHRISTMAS CANDY CHARACTER COLLECTORS received the sad news today that their favorite M&M characters have gone "woke".  Said prolific M&M collector Toby J: Looks like that collection now officially ends with 2021.

And said parent company Mars Candy: 

Mars candy company has promised to make the animated M&M’s candy characters “more inclusive,” in one case by dumping its green “sexy girl” character and giving her replacement a “more nuanced personality.” You can read more at  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/01/20/mms-characters-to-be-more-inclusive/ and at https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/590560-mms-characters-to-become-more-inclusive

What more is there to say.
