Gummi candy is about the only sweet thing I don't care for, but I feel like running out and buying any remaining bags I can find just to stick them on PETA members doors. What a bunch of crybabies!

I heard this being reported on the radio yesterday morning. I have NEVER heard a reporter have SUCH a hard time keeping his composure.
It was TOO darn funny!!!

Wussies. How much power do they think PETA actually has?
To: LurkedLongEnough
Kraft plans to stop production as soon as possible and then sell off remaining inventory... Who wants to bet they show up on eBay?

Next they should come out with a fruit rollup that has smashed bugs imbedded in it like a car windshield. (My idea, my idea!)

Encouraging voilence, huh?
Maybe they should make gummi PETA protesters
To: LurkedLongEnough
I just saw that on TV. Despite the name, those little pieces of candy hardly looked like "road kill." It's just more PC gone nuts. Courtesy of the wackos in America!!!!

I absolutely hate seeing companies cave in to the PC Nazis, especially with something as fun and harmless as this. Kraft says they like to hear from their customers. Let's all tell them how disappointed we are in their decision. Contact them
here.

Truly a dummy idea. What could they have been thinking.
Gummy bears, or whatever, are kid friendly, even gummy worms.....

Another candy company will buy the brand from Kraft. We'll see flattened gummi armadillos in our supermarkets soon enough.

Now this has got me thinking. I might have to go run over some Peeps for the kids' Easter baskets.

Ah-HA! I KNEW there was a reason the Lefties were targeting Kraft! They're owned by Altria, which used to be Phillip Morris, the Big Tobacco peeps. I'm thinking Kraft was avoiding a PETA lawsuit based on advice from their lawyers because Kraft and Altria have deep, deep, DEEP pockets.

"In the United States, Kraft or Kraft subsidiary brand foods can be found in 99% of households. Altria is the parent company of Kraft."
But still; they caved. That's not good. :(
