The ethics surrounding the Crispy M&M's line have been fraught, ever since it was revealed that Saddam Hussein's favorite kind of M&M were the crispy ones. This meant that Mars corporation faced great pressure from both activist groups and the US government to discontinue the production of M&Ms as part of the war on terror. However it was rereleased in 2015, first being announced in the commercial "Fans". Crispy remained a mainstay flavor until 2022, where it appears they were discontinued in favor of the similar Crunchy Cookie variety.
