Maya Rudolph has officially been tapped as M&M’s new spokesperson. The candy company issued a statement on Monday (January 23rd), sharing that they were putting their “spokescandies” on an “indefinite pause” and are bringing the Bridesmaids actress to the table instead. This comes after some people took issue with the Green M&M switching from white go-go boots to sneakers last year. “In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokescandies. We weren’t sure if anyone would notice. And we definitely didn’t think it would break the internet. But now we get it — even a candy’s shoes can be polarizing. Which was the last thing M&M’S wanted since we’re all about bringing people together,” the company wrote in a statement on Instagram. Rudolph told Today, “I’m thrilled to be working with M&M’s. I am a lifelong lover of the candy and I feel like it’s such an honor to be asked to be part of such a legendary brand’s campaign.”
