Hull man outraged by 'sexual' Pizza Hut ketchup label insists 'it's not appropriate'

'It literally sounds like an app for swingers'


Adrian Shann says the 'sexual' ketchup label in Pizza Hut is 'definitely not appropriate' and was shocked when visiting a Pizza Hut for the first time this week to discover the 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt' ketchup bottle.

A Hull man has said he was left outraged by a tomato ketchup label in Pizza Hut which has 'sexual' connotations.

Adrian Shann, 31, went to a Pizza Hut for the first time on Wednesday evening and was taken aback by a ketchup bottle's labelling.

"It's not innocent in my eyes," said Adrian of the 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt' ketchup label branding he discovered in Pizza Hut's store in Clive Sullivan Way.

"The barbecue sauce one said 'Squeeze', but the ketchup one said that, it put me off using it.
"It literally sounds like an app for swingers. I do not understand how someone could put that sentence together, it's awful.

He said he was particularly concerned because the chain's stores often hosts kids and families for meals.


While Adrian Shann wants the label to be changed after discovering it on Wednesday night, Pizza Hut have had the 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt' ketchup label in their stores since at least 2019.

"It is because of the chain's marketing aimed at children that I am worried," he said.

He said there was a family group eating at the Pizza Hut store in Clive Sullivan Way at the same time as him.

"The adults had a laugh and then the children were asking their parents to tell them about it," he said.

"If I had my niece with me, I would be worried. It's definitely not appropriate."

Adrian was adamant that the branding 'is not innocent'.

In contrast, the recently opened takeaway in Princes Avenue, The Food Hub, which seemingly imitates the logo of the world's largest porn site, Pornhub, did not worry him as much.

"They're just a takeaway, it doesn't have so many kids in," he said.

The 'Shake, Squeeze and Squirt' tomato ketchup label has been a feature of Pizza Hut stores since at least 2019.

"I think they were all laughing when they created it," he said. "It's not hidden, it's on the tables.

"They need to make it kid friendly. I hope they change it."

Pizza Hut were approached for comment.

What an absolutely moronic thing to get outraged over.

Its literally describing the process everybody goes through when they grab a bottle of ketchup. Just because dirty birds can turn it into sexual innuendo does not mean it is inherently offensive or dangerous to kids

I'm not saying that Pizza Hut does it (most don't), but I have seen pizza places that also serve fries. Why anyone would need a side of fries with a pizza I can't answer that, but apparently there a demand in some areas.

lol, def sounds like he's projecting his own perversion onto things.

Now if it was ranch dressing or mayonaise (I'm sure some one is doing it), I could see it being questionable. It just looks like the instructions in a stylized format and somehow that's bad.
