gets its name not just from the smiling piggy face, but also from the pork gelatin that gives the candy its bulk.

Pork Gelatin....no big deal....if you eat Jello, don't read farther:

If you look at the ingredients on a box of Jell-O, you'll see that it's essentially sweetened, flavored, and colored gelatin. Gelatin is basically processed collagen, which is a structural protein in animals' connective tissue, skin, and bones.

According to the Gelatin Manufacturers Institute of America (GMIA), pork skin, cattle bones, and cattle hide are the predominant raw materials used to make gelatin.

Big with Muslims I’m sure. My plan would be to leave the sweet treats out in bowls at airports for people awaiting delayed flights. Have a CCTV camera on the bowl and we can watch how many of the Muslims adhere to religious dietary restrictions.
