And another thing I don’t get – Catholics, or indeed anyone who claims to have been offended by Virgin Mary crisps as sold by the Pret A Manger sandwich chain. That's the pack above - which I thought had a red clown nose when I first saw it.
According to the Daily Mail it was a website called Protect the Pope (yeah right) who “pointed out the offensive crisps
branding to its members.”
And really I just don’t get
it. Virgin Marys and Bloody Marys are
drunk in bars all across the world, why suddenly get upset about a flavor of
potato crisps (tomato and Worcester sauce flavour - not the worst idea, not the best)? I mean, where's the offense? It's not like they were
calling them Slutty Mary flavor.
Anyway the unsold crisps have now been given to the homeless, who unlike the pope, can apparently stand being
offended. Maybe they’ll have some Jesus
Juice to wash it down.
Actually, and thank God the pope doesn't know about this, there's a cocktail called the Weeping Jesus: absinthe, peach schnapps, grenadine - topped up with lemonade Forgive them lord, they know not what they drink.
