Haribos - Ocuk

[Jongo]

No in all seriousness I wasn't trolling. I thought I would get replies such as trolling etc, yet I think it's a fair request.

I understand it's difficult to cater for diverse people, religion, however is it possible for Ocuk to do it in the future or not? It's not a demand by all means.

Its just a goodwill gesture they shouldn't have to cater for different people. If OCUK have to start asking what religion/allergies/pets etc people have before shipping orders its going to get silly.

If your ordering from ocuk to get some free sweets then your doing it wrong. Just walk on down to the local shop and grab a bag of what you fancy.

Seriously? You got something for free that you choose not to eat... So you want something else instead next time?

LOL **** me relax man, hes just asking a question...he isnt demanding like some people do

 

[Doctor McNinja]

Looking at what the 2 OCUK people have posted, id say no.

Personally doesnt bother me, ive ordered a few things and got haribo but ive just throw them in the bin as like you, i dont eat them due to religious reasons etc.

BTW Haribo sucks anyhow, never eaten them and never will even if they were halal

This made me smile.

I understand it's a goodwill gesture. I'm not after any free sweets, it was just an idea. I'm glad they gave me a packet at all. It's nice of them to add that little touch. I'm not complaining, if I could eat them, I would.

Again... it's not like he's kicking up a fuss is it? He's just asking politely if it's possible. They can - and have - indicated that it's not something they can do. He seems fine with this.

Your jimmies seem unnecessarily rustled.

Hi, I am allergic to haribo, and when i ate the free packet that came with the computer parts i ordered, I was unable to sue ocuk for the horrendous allergic reaction I then suffered because they did not know. Would it not be better if i alerted them to the fact before they sent them out, therefore enabling me to sue?

kindest regards.

Glad i made you smile, thats my one good deed done for the day

Not really, it's not just a matter of him being fussy. Religion is a recognised institution rather than just "I like M&Ms more than gummy sweets".

I don't want to argue about religion being a choice and that essentially it is just personal preference, just making the point that it's not quite the same as just preferring chocolate to jelly.

Should they offer animal product free alternatives for Vegan buyers?

If they want to... not really sure what you point is.

How would you know if you've never eaten them?

Thread is comical!

 

[Gogl]

Someone offered me a coffee the other day and I asked if I could have a tea instead, they went mental at me for rebuffing the free coffee.

Not really, because they weren't as moronic as half the people in this thread.

 

[Zefan]

I think it's fair to say that you can largely judge them based on their nutritional value (or lack thereof).

No real point, just that why should offering Halal alternatives be any different to offering vegan alternatives

They shouldn't. No one's saying they should be!

 

[Ascendancy]

I would mock that person, as I think being a vegan or vegetarian is something people generally really choose to be rather than religion which tends to be ingrained at a very early age.

Generalising massively there, I know

:O

 

[Steedie]

Thank you for the speedy delivery OcUK. Also thank you for the packet of Haribos

sadly I cannot eat them as my religion forbids, since they contain gelatine.

Is there any chance you could possibly stock Halal jelly sweets in the future for the Islamic customers?

 

[Cosimo]

Halalbo?

Kosherbo?

 

[Spook187]

lol religion forbids
