You won't believe the new candy from Disney World's Animal Kingdom

Wild animals, roaming free. The majesty of the savanna. Elephant poop. Wait, what?

Of all the things people love about Disney World's Animal Kingdom, scat is probably the last item on the list — if it even makes it on the list at all.

And yet, at the new Zuri's Sweets Shop, visitors to Animal Kingdom can try just that. The shop's confectionery case is filled with lots of goodies, but certainly the most eye-catching is its selection of, well, poop.

Customers at the shop can select from Cotton-top Tamarin Poop (pretzel pearls coated in chocolate-peanut butter fudge with sweet rolled oat flakes), Elephant Poop (chocolate-peanut butter fudge with sweet rolled oats and yellow coconut flakes), Giraffe Poop (rolled chocolate fudgy brownie and freshly made caramel) or Hippo Poop (chocolate fudge-caramel brownie with peanut butter and rolled oats).

Okay, what kind of poop do you want from Zuri's Sweet Shop? It's a snack credit!http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2015/06/18/first-look-zuris-sweets-shop-and-the-poop-candy-at-disneys-animal-kingdom/

Some of them don't sound too bad, but it's hard to get past their looks — especially the elephant poop, which is just too realistic for me to deal with.

That yellow coconut... oy.

If you're interested in trying some out, you can get your fix at Zuri's Sweets Shop in Harambe Market in Disney World's Animal Kingdom. Each... serving?... of poop goes for $3.99, or you can use a Disney dining plan snack credit. Either way, you're a braver soul than I.
