Bye bye Gingerbread man

[bigmike20vt]

It was not a fault, he was just showing how "happy" he was to be alive for the short period he wasn't being devoured.

or maybe he appreciated us making some gingerbread girls to be with him

Next you will be telling me it was in bad taste when my mum and I when I was 6 or 7 used to watch black and white*** dinosaur films back in the day and had a running total of the death count by biting the heads of jelly babies.

*** or maybe just our crap telly

That is just down right barbaric decapitating innocent jelly babies like that. The horror!

Personally, I have always thought King Edward potatoes are not just sexist, but also snobbish.

In this day and age, why can't we name them after a national treasure, like David Jason or Joanna Lumley, instead?

I am sickened by the whole thing. Sickened!

This isn’t very inclusive of MAPs.

There must be a non-binary ginger child for the nonces.

Same link , you missed this 'gem' ;

Marks and Spencer has changed the name of its popular Midget Gems sweets to avoid offending people with dwarfism.

What a time to be alive

the thing in the OP is more like Gingerbread Monster!

Being white I am offended by both white rice and white bread being considered inferior to their brown counterparts. All rice should be labelled simply as "rice" and left to the buyer to play rice roulette.

I'll throw in a different approach:

Gingerbread biscuits in a humanoid shape date back to the 16th century.
From the beginning of English (and for at least hundreds and possibly thousands of years before that in other Germanic languages), the word 'man' meant person and was sex-neutral. Hence, for example, the Old English compound words wifman ("female person") and wereman ("male person").
'man' only became male-specific in English ~50 years ago.

Therefore the original and intended meaning of "gingerbread man" was sex-neutral and should be changed to "gingerbread person" since contempory English has changed the meaning of the word.

Only a c word would buy a gluten, egg, and milk free product anyway so its irrelevant to normal people #foodallergyintollerant.

I never had chavs down as somebody that might buy those types of products.

I'd be surprised if this sort of outrage happens in a trench in Ukraine.

Its just the name for godsake. You are acting like they have said ginger is racists so now they will be called ground root people.

I won't be calling them gingerbread person. Always will be a gingerbread man to me.

Morrisons turns the gingerbread man into the gingerbread person

The supermarket is using gender neutral labels in its stores although the packaging still uses the original name... as one academic warns that British shops are 'losing their backbone'

Pathetic or what?

World gone bonkers!

It's from the "freefrom" range, which is catered directly for the whiny "Didn't i tell you i'm vegan yet?" brigade. So safe to ignore

Some people won't be satisfied until we are all hermaphrodites due to the fluoride in the water.

 

[Tony Edwards]

Yes, comfortable enough for people to complain about gender neutrality for a piece of food!

Comfortable enough to think this is worth being angry at?

I won't be calling them gingerbread person. Always will be a gingerbread man to me.

Then you will go to prison. Its a simple as that.

Disappointed at the amount of TERG's on this forum.

I'm not sure how Patato Lord can claim other Potato's snobbish. Surely it's the kettle calling the pot black.

Death by a ginger bread man.

I thought it was the sun causing everyone to be gay.
