The Davis Cup is bringing thousands to the magic city, including a vendor who's stirring up some controversy. It has to do with the name of the product she's selling, called “Craque.”
 
For some, this homemade candy appears to resemble crack cocaine. The product's website, displays the different flavors like: "I Love Craque", "Obama Rocks," and even a special flavor made just for the Davis Cup, "Tennis Rocks." 

The Director of Youth Services, Cedric Sparks, isn't a fan.

"Let’s show anyone who tries to advance foolishness like this that this is not the type of city for that, and we don't tolerate this kind of stuff," Sparks says.      

The vendor says it is not her intent to create a negative appeal to the candy. She actually plans to donate some of the proceeds to the game of tennis and various non-profit organizations.
