For the first time in 10 years, M&Ms has a new character: purple candies are not just a dessert, they are a symbol
M&Ms characters are one of the most iconic candy symbols in the world. On Sept. 28, M&Ms parent company Mars is unveiling its newest member of the group for the first time in over a decade: Purple, reports MSN.
Purple, which is paired with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and brown, is "meant to represent acceptance and inclusion." He has a "charming and whimsical" nature, driven by "self-awareness, authenticity and confidence".
«В нашем новом персонаже так много всего, люди смогут понять и оценить его, в том числе готовность принять свое истинное «я» — наш новый персонаж напоминает нам о том, что нужно отмечать то, что делает нас уникальными, — сказала Джейн Хван, вице-президент Mars Wrigley в своем заявлении. — История по достижению нашей цели только начинается, и представление нашей новейшей модели M&Ms — это следующая глава, поскольку бренд продолжает радовать поклонников так, как может только M&Ms».
As part of the promotional campaign, Mars released a Purple music video titled "I'm Just Gonna Be Me", with proceeds donated to the non-profit organization Sing for Hope per view. The company also announced an M&M'S FUNd with the goal of increasing the "sense of ownership" of 10 million people by 2025.
