Pizza Hut customer expresses concern for children over 'sexual' sauce bottle

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

Adrian Shann, 31, went to the family restaurant for the first time this week but was left feeling uneasy by its ketchup bottle which he feels possesses ' sexual ' connotations.

Adrian, from Hull, said that he is particularly concerned about the labelling as Pizza Hut is known to be marketed towards children, reports Liverpool Echo.

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

Adrian stated: "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.
