Yuck!

This is from Wikipedia:

A bully stick, also known as a beef stick or a pizzle, is a dog treat made from a dried bull's penis. The penis, usually measuring about 24 inches in length, is removed and cut into sections. The sections are then dried and are sold as a dog treat.

Furthermore, since the bully stick is pure beef, it is 100% digestible. This is contrary to rawhide chews, which have been reported to choke or obstruct a dog's bowel if large pieces are swallowed.

Like I said, I knew what they are but I'm such a child. I read the wikipedia and got such a chuckle out of it.
