In fairness they could have labelled the ducks; poodle poo, vomit and tasty ... it was racist.

I can confirm this is NOT me, and that I'm changing my name forthwith.

That's Not Our Livia

M&S should have apologised for charging £8 for £3 worth of chocolate.

I honestly didn’t know ducks had races.


Edit:As in different ethnic races.Not duck racing....If that’s a thing.

C'mon now livia you cant expect poor m&s to apologise for something waitrose did :joker:

:joker:

I’ve actually watched and bet on sheep racing.Not ducks though.

idk if it's just me being hypersensitive but having the darkest color called 'ugly' is pretty sketchy

probably for the best that it's pulled

like it'd be different if they were all the same shade but they aren't so it's just not a good look at all

Oops... LOL...

Well Waitrose, M&S, same meat different gravy. Full of overpriced stuff and pretentious customers who have kids with silly names... "Apple, Alfonso, Angharad, come on children...". Wish I was middle-class enough to cope with it.

It's CHOCOLATE.

I think people have just missed the point that it is tied to ugly duckling story but then the ugly duckling was a cygnet so really they should have had two ducks and a cygnet if they wanted to represent it properly

But you wouldn't be happy if they made the Jewish chocolate duck ugly :idc:

They’d probably cost £15 a box if they did that.Who has a Cygnet mold kicking about?

The ugly one ends up to be the hero of the story. Maybe the white people who complained are the racist ones... not wanting a dark brown "duckling" being the hero...?

I'd be really interested to know how many black people complained... not many I reckon because they understand... it's CHOCOLATE!

If they were trying to represent Jews, then I'd agree.

But they weren't.

They were selling chocolate ducks.

:joker:

could have been worse, they could have emblazoned a cross on its back for good measure, that really would have sent the people with too much time on their hands into meltdown....pun

LOL... well, we need stuff like that in the world to keep those people occupied.

yes BUT i can also understand how this product can rub someone the wrong way

with that being said though calling this racist is a bit of a stretch :laugh:

So you agree with the white woman who complained?

Making out that black people would be insulted by what is essentially a bit of chocolate does nothing to help race relations. It makes it seem like black people complain about all kinds of stuff... when in actuality, it's white people being offended on their behalf.

what the hell have ducks got to do with easter anyway ..... are there stories about the easter duck? :suspect:

Chocolate.

LOL.... And you know, I hate dark chocolate. if I was black I'd be pissed off being identified with the worst chocolate in the world.
