Is he a snowflake? Religious? As the labelling would go over the head of the majority of children.

Pizza Hut has finally broken its silence on sauce-gate, apologising to a customer who felt the brand’s ketchup labelling was too ‘sexual.’
Ten days after Adrian Shann, 31, left a branch of the restaurant in disgust, the chain said it was sorry if the ‘Shake, Squeeze and Squirt’ sauce had caused offence.
Adrian, from Hull, criticised what he believes are sexual references on the branding of the bottle, which he compared to an ‘app for swingers.’
After having a meal at his local branch for the first time, he was concerned that the ketchup was ‘inappropriate’, particularly in a restaurant popular with children.
His one-man campaign involved complaining to the restaurant, newspapers and even his local MP.
Adrian said he had been inundated with comments from both people expressing support and those doubting his claims.
A prankster even started leaving £1 sauce bottles at his door with their labels modified to say things like ‘semen cream on lettuce.’
He’s now succeeded in forcing Pizza Hut to respond – although bosses haven’t promised to remove the labelling.
A message from Pizza Hut Restaurants’ customer care team sent directly to Adrian said: ‘I can only apologise if you were caused any offence or upset on your recent visit to our Hut, please know it is not our intention to make any of our guest feel uncomfortable.
‘At Pizza Hut we pride ourselves on the high standard of customer service we provide, family friendly atmosphere as well as our delicious pizza.’
‘The wording on our Ketchup is not meant to cause offence and I’m sorry if this was interpreted this way.
‘This has been the labelling on all of ketchup bottles in our restaurants for some time now and I can only apologise if this impacted the enjoyment of your meal.’
Adrian remains unconvinced. He told Hull Live: ‘I am not happy with their response. I can not imagine anyone looking at that sauce as tomato ketchup again.’
