Muslims and Doritos?

[ClockMuffin]

UK - Furious Muslims have heavily criticised Walkers crisps after it emerged that certain varieties of the manufacturer's products contain trace elements of alcohol.

Those mwslims. Always have something to complain about. Which is why we love them.

Muslims need to shut the fuck up.

Rather than complain about it, why don't they boycott the products? They'd make a much bolder statement by being mature about it as opposed to ranting and raving, expecting companies to conform to their ideology.

Better link.

As long as you drink very little that doesn't make you drunk then it's alright.

"A customer informed us that Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli and Doritos Chilli Heat Wave are not on Walkers' alcohol-free list. Our suppliers were unaware of this."

So is that the fault of Walkers, or the suppliers for not checking? If Walkers have provided a list of what products of theirs contain alcohol, it's up to the business owners to get off their arses and find out for themselves.

"Even if it is a trace amount of alcohol, Walkers should make it clear on the packaging so that the customer can make an informed choice."

True, but the same can be said about the vast amount of Halal meat that is sold in supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, etc, but isn't labelled as Halal.

"I feel frustrated and angry. I have let my customers down simply because such a big company like Walkers is not sensitive to Muslim needs."

Muslims need Doritos crisps, do they? How exactly are chilli-flavoured snacks a necessity in life? I could understand if the government were spiking Muslims' water supplies with alcohol, but to claim that chilli Doritos are a "need" is absurd. Especially when there is a massive range of other alcohol-free snacks available, as well as a huge market for original Asian snacks (imported).

Because most Muslims are Asian. Asians are the least intelligent race.

Doritos are holy. To me... and my made up religion. This religion also encourages getting off your face and getting frequent erections.

Apply within
