‘Mike and Ike’ Getting a Gay Divorce?- Say “What!?”

Have you been seeing the 'Mike and Ike' candy boxes around with one of the names scribbled out on it? I noticed them and I first thought that some employee of the store was messing around and crossing out the names, but then I saw it at other stores and realized that can't be the case. So after some searching, mainly looking at a link a friend posted on Facebook, they candy couple is splitting for a new ad campaign. Mike is leaving so he can work on his music and Ike wants to pursue is art career. Here is a statement from Ike;

I know it’s hard to believe, but yes – Mike and I split. It is what it is. We just couldn’t agree on stuff anymore. Some call it creative differences? Whatever. The guy is awesome, if you don’t count that he’s color blind. Lime is green dude! Cherry is red, not purple. Get it? Go write some songs since that seems to be where your focus is right now.

And From Mike;

Heard about Ike and me splitting up? Yeah, it’s true. We just don’t agree on the candy. My red, his red, my lime, his lime, my box ideas, his box ideas. So over it. Instead of all this hassle, now I’m just gonna jam. Been laying down heat with my friend Blaze. Planning to hit all the music capitals in the next few months. No sitting at home solo playing Words With Friends (that’s something Ike would do).

So are you sad that they are no more? Do you like Mike and Ike?
