Cock flavored soup too risque for supermarket


A UK supermarket chain was forced to relocate a popular Jamaican soup brand after complaints from shoppers who find the packaging inappropriate.

Cock soup has long been a staple in Jamaican-style cooking, but the product’s signature rooster and ‘cock’ label has caused a rukus among children in the store.

A spokesperson for the chain told The Sun:
“We know that many shoppers love this tasty Jamaican classic. But to help out a few of the embarrassed mums we’ve moved it up to the top shelf.”
