Co-Op Asks Public to Name New Gender-Neutral Gingerbread Person

The Co-Op supermarket chain has announced a competition to name its new gender-neutral gingerbread person.

 

“Our Food team is adding the final touches to a new Co-op gingerbread person, but they’ve yet to come up with a name,” the supermarket chain has said in a statement.

 

“They’d like members to join in and suggest a fitting name for our new little biscuity friend.



 

“The plan is to give our new gingerbread fellow some seasonal costume refreshes—a distinctively Christmassy look for December and something rather spooky around Halloween for example.

 

“So they’ll need a name that works for any time of year. Join in to suggest a name.

 

“Our Food team will create a shortlist of the ones they think will best fit the bill and we’ll be back to ask you to vote for your favourite next month.”

 

The competition has already drawn the ire of Twitter users, claiming the move is too politically correct, but the Co-Op retains this is simply a friendly all-inclusive new biscuit.
