Animal Activists Upset at Road-Kill Candy
Friday, February 25, 2005

TRENTON, N.J. — Animal rights activists are disgusted by a new candy from Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) that's shaped like critters run over by cars — complete with tire treads.

The fruity-flavored Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy (search) — in shapes of partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels — fosters cruelty toward animals, according to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (search).

"It sends the wrong message to children, that it's OK to harm animals. And that's the wrong message, especially from a so-called wholesome corporation like Kraft," said society spokesman Matthew Stanton.

The society is considering petition drives, boycotts and letter-writing campaigns to get the candy pulled from the market, Stanton said.

After receiving a complaint from the NJSPCA Wednesday, Kraft officials pulled an animated advertisement from Trolli's Web site that featured car headlights and animals. No other decisions on changes have been made, said Kraft spokesman Larry Baumann.

"If you look across the Gummi category we certainly have many products that are offbeat, and that's what we were doing in this case," Baumann said. "We didn't mean to offend anyone."

See....I'd take it a step further and make them w/ a liquid center so they squirt when you bite into them..

Very funny, FWW, but hardly believable. Anyone who has ever been, knows Trenton has a lot of things, like the Trenton Makes Bridge, toothless hookers workin' the train station, pork roll and cheese, a violent crime every minute or so, there was once even a Red Sox affiliate there, but Animal Rights Activists? This is the first I've heard of that.
