The controversy started when a woman named Suzie Fromer shared an image of a box of Target cookies called the Santa Dipped Chocolate Sandwich Cookies on Facebook.

X-Rated Christmas Cookies Drive Facebook Moms To Boycott Target

If you look closely at Santa’s feet, they do look very phallic. But is it enough to put Santa Claus on his own naughty list? Some Facebook moms say yes and are boycotting Target.

Not everyone notices Santa’s phallic boots right away. Nicole Miller, a mother in Knoxville, Tennessee, purchased the Santa Dipped Chocolate Sandwich Cookies and never noticed the issue until her friends brought it to her attention.

“My friends pointed out Santa’s boots — which I then couldn’t unsee,” Miller told the New York Post. She, like many others, never even made the connection until someone else brought it to het attention.
