A new candy is stirring up some trouble in Birmingham, Alabama.
The controversial candy made by Frieda Orange is called Craque, which sounds like the street name it resembles, crack.
For some, this homemade candy’s close appearance to the illegal drug is too close for comfort.
The vendor says it is not her intent to create a negative appeal to the candy...she says she named it Craque...with a "Q"...because her friends say it's so addictive.
The candy is bite-sized pieces of chocolate and peanut butter in crunchy shells covered in powdered sugar...it's even packaged in small plastic “drug” bags.
The product's website, displays the different flavors like: I Love Craque, Obama Rocks, and even a special flavor made just for the Tennis Davis Cup, which takes place in Birmingham called Tennis Rocks.

Are you people serious? This is a CANDY! "It should be banned" are you kidding me? this is the USA, freedom of speech and the right to make a living is Ms. Orange's only goal here. If you are too afraid to discuss drugs with your kids then that is your problem and theirs, but to act like she is some how wrong for utilizing this marketing ploy is ignorant and short sighted.
It's not just the name, it's the concept. Drug abuse are not funny. It's not a game. Why mimic something so dangerous? It's the entire concept that makes it so irresponsible.
According to Whitney Houston, Crack is cheap!
