Del Monte Dog Treats Are Highly Inappropriate
Or as Alex put it so pithily in an email to us, "These dog treats are shaped like c*cks." (Now you can't tell what that word means!)
Who approved this sort of design? And who thought adding little grooves would make it somehow less phallic instead of more? We wonder if the executive who approved this is disliked by his team, and they're just setting him up for some sort of disciplinary action.
(Thanks to Alex!)

It's supposed to be a "T." Let's give Del Monte the benefit of the doubt.
Luckily, my big goofy dog is not at all discriminating and would be more than happy to eat a bag of c*cks.
Hahahah. I totally love that.
New Tag Needed: Inadvertently Offensive
"Now everybody get out their cock-n-balls, share baby share!"
if Del Monte gets word of this, im sure they will issue a public statement with "seriously" in there...(reference another consumerist article)
"It's a... It's a.... It's a rocket ship!"
@BobCoyote: What are you, blind? It's a cock! It's not a rocket, you sick fuck! It's a cock! Look. It's a cock and balls! A dick! Chorizo and the huevos! It's a big stiffy! It's a penis! Penis maximus! A willie! A weenie! Mr. Jiggle Daddy! The one-eyed wonder weasel! Don't you see that? It's Jimmy and the twins! Rumple Foreskin! He made this! It's made from dil-dough!
OMG OMG OMG, with three minutes left to my work day consumerist comes through in the end!!!
Thanks so much!
@homerjay: They use a mold for biscuits?
How does that even work? Wouldent it stick to it? I would think they would squeeze it out flat on a converyer and then just cut it no?
Phallicious!
Hey, it's what most dogs spend all day licking anyway, so you'd think a dog would like it.
Should I consider a post offensive if it caused me to blow coffee on my screen?
Damn that's funny.
@HOWIE_IN_AZ: From a distance, maybe. From the posted pictures I'd wager few people wouldn't notice the similarity.
OHMYGAAWWWW That was the best way to end a Monday! Friggin hysterical.
The real question is, How do they taste?
I bet they're meaty, or at least high in protein.
Cocktastic!
For the sake of all that is appropriate, I wonder if they come in sausage-flavored
The new treat your dog will love! Michael Vick's Dicks!
I don't know about you guys, but I've never seen one where the balls stick straight out from the side like that.
Amusing, sure, but for pete's sake it's a letter T.
OTTER: Mine's bigger than that.
MRS. WORMER: I beg your pardon?
OTTER: My dog treat, it's bigger.
Dog treats can be really sensuous, don't you think?
MRS. WORMER: No. Dog treats are sensual.
People are sensuous.
OTTER: Right. "Sensual." That's what I meant.
Brings a whole new meaning to give your dog a bone.
wow a lot of people have dirty perverted minds. that looks nothing like what you say it is.
i wonder if del monte would let me borrow that mold. i've got an office christmas party coming up & i've been working on the perfect gift for my wonderful co-workers.
i think "T" shaped cookies would portray my feelings perfectly.
"T" is for 'tupid. What were they thinking in the product development department.
lol love it
oh wait wait... I love whoever had the BALLS to make it. lolololol
And to think I clicked through to the article JUST to read the comments :)
I'm eagerly awaiting the New, Improved Del Monte Dog Cocks - err, C*cks - Now with white frosted tips!
On a happier note, at least desperate Southern adolescent males will be able to properly train their pets without the wasteful usage of peanut butter or chocolate syrup. Although, do you really want Fido to think it's expected that he chew proferred morsels to masticated bits?
A nice, We-Are-The-World touch on Del Monte's part. Not just generic pink-flesh color, but the colors of ALL the five continents. That warms the cockles of my heart!
I like how they made the treats in different colors to emphasize diversity to our happy pets.
A little late to join in the game, but... "Now lassie, I know you wanted a MILK bone, but until the ratings go back up, you're going to have to settle for the OTHER kind"
It's not like the dog cares... My dog would swallow everything that he could get, including apples, expired yogurts, and ANY brand of crackers. As long as it's edible, no normal dog cares how it looks.
***behold for new and improved crackers in the form of boobs***
Huh huh... cock tees.
@chouchou:
Oh yeah? I'm still reeling over the fact that my dog eats turds from the cat litter box as well as a block of moldy cheese accidentally dropped on the floor AND laps up water from the toilet. Just thinking about it now makes my stomach feel queas....Hold on a sec. *gag*
Awesome, a Death to Smoochy reference.
I have a weiner dog, and he just loves them!
Wonderful...
=D!
I heard dog snacks are the last thing you want to feed your dog -- true?
Navstar - second to the last thing you'd want to feed your pooch... While, yes, dogs' mouths are clean, their teeth are sharp.
My dog LOVES those treats. She also attempted what appeared to be a BJ on our neighbor's dog until I pulled her away. Coincidence?
Not sure how this is 'news.'
Next up: Cucumbers look like penises. The farmers should know better, and cultivate them into less obscene shapes.
Are we not going to give up until all products are sold as bland grey formless shapes?
With apologies to Freud - Sometimes a dog treat is just a dog treat.
Get your minds out of the gutter people! ;^)
Good Lord thats funny. Its not like this is one guy baking dog treats in his garage. This company had a ton of people looking at this thing before the first box was sold right down to the guy that fabricated the mold. Do you mean to tell me not one of those people said "Hey, what are we making here, cocks?
