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.

    Lawn Darts.

    People would actually encourage their children to throw large pointed projectiles in the air around other people.

    Didn’t turn out very well. Discontinued for the most part, not so much taboo.
