You don't want leftover stock that you can't shift and eventually will have to throw away.

'Halal' chocolate (lol) is basically the same thing as vegetarian chocolate so are they also to blame? Because there's as much evidence to suggest that they are responsible for the Christian Easter Egg being rejected by shops as Muslims are.

How do you know it won't sell well, the choice has been taken away so it won't sell at all now. They have refused to sell ANY at all, that isn't catering to everyone. As I said earlier, no one is blaming Muslims, I'm all for 'halal' chocolate being on the shelves, rightly so but what if some people don't want to buy that chocolate. In my local supermarket we have halal counters, a couple of isles of polish and other countries food stuffs and that doesn't bother me, its good they can have the choice to buy those foods. If Halal and other countries food stuffs were removed there would be hell to pay so why is it so bad that some people are upset they have taken the christian choice of egg away.
