The Green M&M has turned sexy and people are not OK with it

Like the idea of talking chocolate isn’t unsettling enough already.

SO THE GREEN M&M has always been the female version of the candy treat, with the red and yellow guys being the males.

Over the last year though, people have started noticing her being portrayed very sexily in M&M’s latest commercials.

Like these recent tweets:

Some, of course, have noticed it and aren’t exactly unhappy at the thought of a sexy candy

Whoops!

If Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo had a child it would be that sexy Green M&M.

But some find the idea that the green M&M is now sexy a little unsettling

the fact that they try to make the green m&m have sex appeal is honestly so creepy

Someone, somewhere, is responsible for making the Green M&M look sexy and gets in trouble if she's not looking sexy enough

My goal in life is to be as sexual as the green m&m.

Opinion seems divided on this important issue.

The idea that a candy has a personality is off-putting enough, but this latest lurch towards sexiness appears to be too much for some.
