PC Animal Crackers

Here in Ottawa (and a lot of other parts of Canada), we have a grocery store called Loblaws. The store brand at Loblaws is known as "President's Choice". Who the President is, I am not entirely sure, but he seems to be a foody, and a bit of an industrial spy. Most of their products are eerily similar to major brands. One of their newer products is in their Organics line — President's Choice Organics Chocolate Animal Cookies. That's right — chocolate. I decided to buy a box to see what they were like, and if they'd remind me of the old Barnum Animal Crackers I remember.
Upon opening the box, I immediately noticed a difference in the variety of cookie-shaped animals. Elephant: check. Camel: check. Monkey: check, but no pants this time. Bison: check.....wait a second....bison? Okay, we can let that one slide. Then I saw the goat. The anatomically correct goat. He (and I am pretty sure it's a he) has a very visible dangly bit. The picture is a bit blurry, but you get the idea.
