Worst/Best discontinued products that are taboo now but ok yesteryear (lemmy.world)

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.

Nah now they're "candy sticks" and they removed the "ember" (the bit on the end dyed red/orange) and the lucky strike style packs. Last I saw any they had Scooby Doo on the pack.
