The battle between different colored M&Ms continues in this new M&M's commercial with the female brown candy setting up the anxious red candy.
This is the latest in a series of M&M's commercials that personify the chocolate candies and give different personalities to different colors. The commercial starts with the brown M&M talking to her friend at a cocktail party. Before she leaves, the friend tells the brown M&M to watch out for Kristen because she can't control herself around chocolate and will "devour" the brown M&M. By the end of the commercial, Kristen is pulling the red M&M out of the party as he thanks the brown M&M for introducing them.
The ad does a good job of personifying the chocolates in different ways, which actually implies a certain relationship between the two colors.
