Man worried for children because of Pizza Hut's 'sexual' sauce bottle

A 'worried' man said he believes the label on Pizza Hut's tomato sauce is 'not appropriate.'

Adrian Shann went to the restaurant for the first time this week but was left feeling uneasy by its ketchup bottle which he believes has 'sexual' connotations.

The 31-year-old, from Hull, said he is particularly concerned about the labelling because Pizza Hut is marketed towards children.

The label on the tomato sauce bottle reads 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt.'

Adrian Shann, told Hull Live: "It's not innocent in my eyes.

"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."

He added: "It is because of the chain's marketing aimed at children that I am worried."

Describing his dining experience, Adrian said a family there at the same time as him also noticed the labelling.

He said: "The adults had a laugh and then the children were asking their parents to tell them about it.

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

Adrian was adamant the branding 'is not innocent' , he added: "They need to make it kid friendly. I hope they change it."

Pizza Hut were approached for comment.
