Pringles chips under attack for offering bacon flavoured Pringles for Ramadan

I just stumbled across this article:

The Tesco supermarket chain is facing accusations of cultural insensitivity after offering bacon flavoured Pringles as part of a Ramadan promotion.

Consumption of pork products is strictly forbidden in Islam.

Even though the crisps rely on artificial flavouring and do not contain pork, the marketing initiative triggered a combination of outrage and bewildered amusement on social media.

To add to the company’s embarrassment the bacon flavoured Pringles were were placed under a Ramadan banner at Tesco’s Liverpool Street store, around a mile from one of London’s most important mosques in Whitechapel.

One twitter user was lost for words, while Mohammed Waqas described the decision to associate the bacon flavoured crisps as “stupidity at its best”.

This is quite hilarious in all actuality.  Mohammad you do realize that you can actually eat them because they contain no pork?  That is right, there is no prohibition against your eating them if you want to because they contain no pork.  That means you could eat them openly instead of in secret.  No need to be angry about the fact that they are available in the market for those who would like to have some. You do not have to purchase them if you don’t want to eat them.  I might just go out and buy some, mostly because I can.  On the other hand I may just go out and cook up some real bacon in your honor M. Waqas.

Peace
