Kraft Foods recently launched fruity-flavored Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy. They're in the shapes of partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels. I think it's a hilarious premise. I'd love eating road kill gummi candy, wouldn't you?
The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals thinks it fosters cruelty toward animals. They're making a stink and getting enough press that Kraft has already pulled an animated advertisement from Trolli's Web site that featured car headlights and animals.
These are stupid candies in the shapes of road kill. We, as a society, need to lighten up a bit. If I can't chow down on a partly flattened snake, the terrorists have already won.
