I’ve refrained from reporting on this story, out of worry of what our readers would say. However, we’ve had people asking what was going on at Animal Kingdom, with their interesting snack ideas, so here you go. Disney is getting rid of the pooh/potty inspired animal “treats.” Here’s what’s happening according to the Orlando Sentinel!

Visitors to Disney’s Animal Kingdom can no longer buy desserts that look like manure, said a Disney World spokeswoman.

The “Match the Species” treats — designed to look like the droppings of giraffes, elephants, rhinos and cotton top tamarins — will not be restocked at Zuri’s Sweets Shop, which opened in the Harambe Market section of the park two weeks ago.

“As with any new merchandise location, we test various offerings and make adjustments,” a Disney World spokewoman said Monday. “We have currently run out of several items and do not have plans to offer them in the future.”

Zuri’s items, including a sugar cookie and chocolate cookies shaped like lions and monkeys, also will not continue.

The Match the Species line, which cost $3.99 apiece, featured ingredients such as chocolate, caramel, oats, pretzels and peanut butter.
