Road Kill candy becomes roadkill

It’s not surprising that Kraft Foods has pulled its Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy—shaped, as the name implies, like animals flattened by cars. What’s surprising is that it took this long for someone to notice and protest the product into oblivion; it’s been on the market since last summer. Described on this non-Kraft site as “an off beat [sic] twist on animal shapes,” it comes (or should we now say came?), in the shapes of squirrels, chickens and snakes, with an amusing—or maybe not, depending on your point of view—tire tread running down the back.
