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.

What made them taboo?

It's fuckin wax. You literally just ate wax. It was normal then but if I gave it to my 3 y/o niece these days she'd fuckin call cps on me and have me committed to a psych ward. Wouldn't that kinda make it taboo?

No. It would just make it bad, like it's always been. Honestly, IDK how they are even still being made cause IDK anyone who likes them.
