Customer Quotes, Friday February 25, 2005:
"I grew up in a time of Garbage Pail Kids cards. Some of them were a
little graphic. I collected them and always found them amusing. I
didn't turn out to be some crazy ax killer. It's candy, get over yourself!"
Lorretta
"I recently read an article about your Road Kill candy and how some
people are against it. I say KEEP it coming. I have 2 children and I'll
buy it for them, as long as I can teach my kids right from wrong I don't
need some rights group to tell me what kind of candy to buy. I plan on
buying a whole bunch of it just to show them I still have a choice.
Thank You" Robert
"I have just read where the animal lovers are up in arms about the
"Road Kill" gummy candy. I like animals too, but they are taking it to
far. I think that this idea is cute, and don't pull it from the shelves.
Thanks..... B.B."
"Keep the Road Kill candy! It is funny, cute, and the PETA folks just
needed something to whine about. It's a shrewd business decision, and
it not offensive to 98% of the public. Don't let the 2% fool you. Peace."

"I think it is a sad day for our country when we have large quantities
of people spending all their time, energy and resources protesting
candy! If I accidentally run over a squirrel, snake or chicken (which I
have) I will not lose any sleep. If these people would spend half as
much energy on making sure their fellow citizens are taken care of, the
world would be a better place. Road kill happens!!"
Pam
"I just wanted to say that my son loves these gummi candies! He has
never paid attention to the fact that they look like road kill; he just
eats them because they are candy. I don't think he will grow up to be
someone who intentionally tries to run over animals because he ate some
candy when he was five. These activists need to get over themselves. Next
thing you know they'll sue a company for making chocolate easter
bunnies because kids might try eating a real bunny or something. Please
continue making the candy or we'll end up being afraid to do anything that
might offend somebody. Thanks!"

Customer Quotes, Monday February 28, 2005:
"Dear Kraft,
You just keep making great stuff...
I have 9 grandchildren that would think that is so great.... I have a son that has downsyndrom... he loves your Trolli brand... he is 31 yrs old... and please don't stop making the road kill candy. We will make sure that our children are taught right from wrong... and we're bound to find some people to complain but there are all of us who think it is great... .what ever Kraft makes is great..."
sincerely,
Mary
"I came across an article about Kraft ceasing distribution of this
candy, and all I can say is, "Ridiculous!!" I think it's hilarious, and
very tongue in cheek. I realize that people pass by dead animals on the
roadside every day, and I feel this is a somewhat irreverent, although
highly amusing take on the serious causes of this problem. My wife
works with a wildlife rehabilitation group, and she worries that the work
they do may be for naught, due to development and infrastructure that
endangers animals every day.
My personal opinion is to thumb your noses at the naysayers, ignore the
critics and bleeding hearts with the SPCA, and run with this idea...."

"I hope the gummi subsidiary of Kraft will not discountinue "road kill
candy" just because of PETA's protests. If PETA is sooo correct why not
discountinue all gummi animals?"
Andrew C.
"I am hoping that the story I read about the road kill candy being stopped is false. If it is true I'm sorry to see the road kill critters go. The candy is a hoot! These animal rights activists need to GET A LIFE!"
Susan M.
"Trolly Gummy Road Kill is hilarious! If this is harmful, perhaps gummy bears should be outlawed.... my children may learn to hunt bears from this horrific act of eating those poor little candy bears. Save the worms while we're at it!"
Joey P.
"I can't believe you are discontinuing your line of "Road Kill" candy. According to polls in various media outlets, the majority of those polled were not offended, and were in support of your product. I understand that a larger business must maintain a positive public image, but someone has to stop the minority of these pseudo-communist censors.
Don't change your product, nor the way you conduct your business because you upset a VERY small group of people. Please, the majority of your consumers will respect your company more if you continue with what you are doing, and fight these horrible people."
