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.

I was going to say candy cigarettes, but in the US, they are still around I guess. Elsewhere it's banned.

Afaik they're still around in Canada as well.
