If you’ve ever ran over a raccoon with your car and thought, “You know what, I should go scrape him off the road and give him to my daughter to cuddle,” then you are in luck my friend!

A company called roadkilltoys.com is launching a line of stuffed animals that look like they battled your snow tires and lost.

 The first to be launched is Twitch The Racoon which comes complete with its own body bag to keep the maggots out.

Twitch also has an identity tag revealing it was ‘run over by a milk float last Thursday, near the Hangar Lane Giratory system in London.’

A zip on each side of the toy allows the owner to remove Twitch’s innards and stuff them back in again.  A tire print runs across its back.

I’m pretty sure these guys aren’t the first to profit from road kill.  In an unrelated story, The Olive Garden has announced it will be introducing a “Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo” to it’s already delicious menu!
