Is This Candy Politically Correct?

I'm not that big on political correctness. Sometimes I think it actually goes a little too far trying not to offend anyone, and makes things sound ridiculous. Well, even so, I couldn't help but question the term that Tootsie Roll decided to go with for this size of Tootsie Roll. Midgees? Does that strike anyone else as a bit offensive to a certain group of people? I mean, at the very least, shouldn't this candy instead be called little? I think that may be what it would prefer, though I'm not sure. It's hard to keep up with what they want to be called. But I guess it just struck me as borderline offensive to little people, so I felt compelled to share.
