Man worried for children after seeing Pizza Hut's 'sexual' sauce bottle

A man has shared his concerns after a recent visit to a Pizza Hut with his niece.

Adrian Shann, 31, went to a Pizza Hut for the first time on Wednesday evening and was taken aback by a ketchup bottle's labelling

"It's not innocent in my eyes," said Adrian of the 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt' ketchup label branding he discovered in Pizza Hut's store in Hull.

"The barbecue sauce one said 'Squeeze', but the ketchup one said that, it put me off using it.

"It literally sounds like an app for swingers. I do not understand how someone could put that sentence together, it's awful."

His concerns are primarily caused by the restaurant chain being popular with young families.

"It is because of the chain's marketing aimed at children that I am worried," he said.

He reported another family were in the restaurant at the same time. The adults of this family found the innuendo humorous and the kids were asking them to explain what was so funny.

"If I had my niece with me, I would be worried. It's definitely not appropriate."

The 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt' tomato ketchup label has been a feature of Pizza Hut stores since at least 2019.

"They need to make it kid friendly. I hope they change it," Adrian added.

Pizza Hut has yet to comment on the matter.
