"I should think normal people would be turned off by this too. What an idiotic, boneheaded thing to peddle to impressionable children. Animals who are hit by cars is nothing to make light of. I speak as someone whose favorite dog as a child was hit by a car. As children, we are taught kindness through animals. We are taught how to grieve through losing household pets. We are taught that life, all life, is precious. "Roadkill candy" is the kind of thing only a deranged mind would think up."

When I was not quite three, I was holding our new puppy, waiting eagerly for my dad to get home. When I saw his truck pull up the incline, the puppy wriggled free of my skinny little arms and made a bee-line for the rear wheels of the truck. Needless to say, the puppy was road-kill.
I have, since then, had kids, puppies and trucks, and never yet had to be told how to value life ~~ ANY life.
I bet your folks never told you that fairy tales were just THAT.
And what's the difference between gummi worms and gummi road kill?
"And what's the difference between gummi worms and gummi road kill?"
Gummi "road kill" makes light of a horrible fact. Gummi road kill is the kind of thing punks on drugs who listen to death metal "trip out" on. Do you see my point? What kind of kid likes such a thing? I think it encourages the "dark side" if you get my drift.
