Memo to Nestle

I’d like to give you the benefit of the doubt and think that this label is simply a holdover, an antique from an earlier time, but just so you know, there are a huge number of people in the world who would probably find this label offensive:

Yorkie candy bar label

Given the fact that I’ve never seen a candy bar labeled this way any where else I’ve traveled, I’m betting you already know it’s offensive. I bought the bar in spite of the label – for my daughter. She enjoyed it tremendously…

    I have found these at my grocery store as they carry a selection of foods from England. I tried one, and did not like it at all. I had to wonder if there was some kind of ingredient in it that only boys would like… It is certainly a bizarre label to put on anything, much less a candy bar.

    It was eaten with gusto here, but is still a very strange label!!!

    By the way, I felt I should add that I’m not a person who goes around looking to be offended but this label is just bizarre…
