Well, it's more likely to be for the attention/promotion as they know it's a "thing".

I'd be very surprised if they had a genuine concern for customers with gender issues taking offence.

Who has been harmed because a gingerbread biscuit was described as male? That that's now somehow wrong? Talk about first world problems. I want a biscuit but I don't want one that's been misgendered.

How do other countries cope with their languages making some of their words male, some female and some neutral? Shouldn't we just change all words to neutral?

Omg I didn't even think of that. The French must be pulling their hair out.

Either that or it's only Brits that moan about such inconsequential things.

I agree Liam. It IS ridiculous.



Yeah, see? Give it time, someone will take up the cause.

Eh, who cares.

Let people vote with their wallets - if people get their knickers in a twist over it and purposely buy gingerbread men elsewhere, then Co-Op will lose business. If people agree with the move, they'll sell more. Or (the most likely option) no-one normal would much notice, and the wrappers would be discarded without a second thought whatever was printed on them.

Its gingerbread men


literlly no one calls them anything else

or eats them

or shops in the vile coop


:umm2:

do you know omen lgbtq rights group that’s complained about this? any lgbtq+ activists? honestly this problem never existed because even if there is a group of people who found ginger bread men offensive they’ve must’ve gone straight to the co-op about it because this is a first i’ve heard about this

The Co op probably did it as a stunt to improve gingerbread man sales because does anyone actually buy those things? :think:

The crunchy ones are foul.

The chewy ones in Galloways. :love:

I don't get it lol. Gingerbread man is not really a man.
