Plus any non-Christians who might be offended wouldn't buy them anyway, so what's the problem? Well said Vrsaljko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Iceland thanks Tory MPs for sales boost from hot cross reaction to ‘tick’ bun Quote Mr Walker lauded the reaction on social media on Friday morning, writing: “Big shout out to trendsetters Rees Mogg and 30p Lee for bigging up Iceland’s hot ‘tick’ buns. “They weren’t for real btw lads – and sales of our devout and trad hot cross buns were up 134% yesterday.” Looks like it's trebles all round in the viral marketing department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so. But imagine what would happen if the religious symbol was not a Christian one but of another religion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other religions don't celebrate Easter. If there was a Star of David on a bun it wouldn't be celebrating Easter as Jews don't believe in Jesus as the messiah. Saying that if there was a Darwin Fish on a Easter bun lookalike I might buy it over a hot cross bun for a laugh, only once though as hot cross buns have horrible candied peel in them, which is just taking the pith.

I won't be buying any bun with a tick on it, if people don't want to buy one with a cross they can do what they did in previous years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the tick was made of lovely chocolate, hand painted by George Clooney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
