Roadkill Candies pulled

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Has anybody else seen these twisted, but funny sour candies? They're in the shape of animals with tire-tracks running across them. I discovered them last Halloween at the local Walmart.
Apparently, Kraft foods is bowing to pressure from animal rights groups and pulling them from shelves. If you want `em, now's the time. They are still on the shelves at the store near me.

They were only candies, not made from animals. Boy, some people are just unreasonable.

Um...the candies actually portrayed flattened cats, dogs, squirrels, etc. with tire tread marks on them. With all the "fruit loops" out there, do we really need the extra graphics? And what a message to send to kids...look, isn't "Rocky" cute all squished? Sure, he was your friend...but you'll find others just like him. Fails to amuse me. Seen way too many hit by cars with sad outcomes to walk away NOT outraged that Kraft would even consider marketing such a product. I protested, for the record.
