Seeing another post about aunt Jemima products that were discounted due to racial stereotypes I was curious what’s the worst product-fuckuo you have seen?

In Sweden we have a chocolate pastry ball that was called negerboll which translates to negro ball. Early 2000s it was deemed that it was not ok and it changed name to chocolate ball.

I was going to say candy cigarettes, but in the US, they are still around I guess. Elsewhere it’s banned.

Big League Chew is still around, and that involves imitating a similar vice.

Nah now they’re “candy sticks” and they removed the “ember” (the bit on the end dyed red/orange) and the lucky strike style packs. Last I saw any they had Scooby Doo on the pack.

I often ate them with the paper. Good thing they were banned.
