Update: You can now place your order for bin Laden Bites by clicking here. Orders will not ship until January. Proceeds from the chocolate sales will be used for our programs—such as our spay-and-neuter clinic—that help dogs.
I've heard my fair share of oxymorons, but never one as (literally) delicious and biting as this one: cruelty-free beheading.
When we heard that our troops in Afghanistan hungered for some chocolate, we jumped at the opportunity to send them some dairy-free delectable delights and even made a tastily topical design just for the occasion:

When the troops sink their teeth into our savory, vegan chocolate Bin Laden Bites, they'll satisfy their confectionary craving while getting some sweet revenge by taking a bite out of Osama's head.
Who ever thought that chocolate could be this cathartic?

PETA you have definitely outdone yourself, surely you see the contradictions inherent here.

that is so awesome especially since you made them Vegan!!
I wish a person in military was given the option to be Vegan sadly they are not, as I learned from being very close with a Marine.It is nearly impossible to be Vegan in the military even their training forces people to kill animals..I wish Peta or anyone could send Vegan food to military and there was an option for those who did not want to participate in torturing or murdering animals

That's motivational, savory, healthy and cruelty-free.

Thank-you PETA for doing this for the troops. I love you even more now.

PETA - YOU CAN'T SEND CHOCOLATE TO THE TROOPS IN CARE PACKAGES! IT MELTS!
Do you guys even understand what goes into care packages?
This isn't an attack on troops; it's just common sense here.

I want to preface my statement by informing everyone here that my intentions are to provide positive constructive criticism. I am all for veganism (in fact I am currently working towards being vegan) and I think it's great that PETA wants to provide vegan products. However, I am wondering if that cocoa and sugar is fair trade. If it is, then you should state it is and promote fair trade products! If it isn't then perhaps in the future PETA should support fair trade. I feel as though if PETA were to do otherwise they'd be contradicting their philosophy about being humane, moral human beings. Anyways, thank you for reading my post. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read it.

How about Michael Vick Dog Treats in 5 shapes and flavors: Michael Vick's face, rear, arm, knee, and calf? PETA can pick the flavors.

I love PETA so very much. And I second Mary Patricia's idea!

Haha I love it. Laughing and eating chocolate? Can't beat it :D

I first heard about this and thought it was a good idea. I am a veteran and appreciate the intent of it. But like stated previously chocolate melts no matter if it is Vegan or not. I was reading some other posts on this and some people were upset that PETA were using such a villian as the design, but I like to make play-on-words so I understand the stand point. Being a veteran I understand the other side as well. You have to have a sense of humor to understand the intent of these chocolate pieces. For those that oppose the use of bin Laden you might want to consider the Twin Towers... remind the troops why they are there in the first place.

PETA you are so flippin amazing!!
i've got a ton of my friends to sign up to PETA and to pledge to be fur free!! :D

Never thought I would think about PETA after college. I do appreciate humane treatment of people and animals alike. This is true of animals I like ie; those on my plate. Iam a former Marine headed back to Afghan. an am laughing deep inside over your B. Laden Bites. Leaving in Jan. maybe I can order some when I get there. Best in all your endeavours PETA.

I'm by no means a vegetarian, but I do support humane conditions for Animals. I'm also a Soldier in the U.S Army and have a new found respect for PETA with this clever little snack!! This will seriously raise morale along with awareness among the troops! High Five Guys!
