Waitrose have had to pull their Chocolate Ducks off the Shelves after complaints of Racialism on the name of the Dark Chocolate Duck.
The three Ducks, in Milk, White and Dark Chocolate, had Names, Crispy, Fluffy and Ugly, which Waitrose say were inspired from the Bedtime Story "The Ugly Duckling" by Hans Christian Anderson, you know the one where one of the Duckling is a different colour from the others and then gets a load of stick from the other Ducklings, for those who cant remember the Story a Swans Egg accidentally rolls into a Ducks Nest.
Waitrose pulled the product from its shelves and redesigned the packaging, with the names of the ducklings removed.
A Waitrose spokesperson said: “We are very sorry for any upset caused by the name of this product, it was absolutely not our intention to cause any offence".
Whats your views, is this Political Correctness gone mad or is Waitrose being Racist here and have correctly been slapped across the wrist.
more importantly if you never did get to read the Bedtime Story when you was a Nipper you can read it Online here -
