| Swiss Retailer Backtracks on Bull's Pizzle Dog Snack |
| 2013-08-22 |
| [An Nahar] Swiss supermarket giant Migros has backtracked on a decision to stick a no-nonsense "bull's penis" label on a brand of dog chews, it said Tuesday. While the dog snack is made from bull penises, it was previously tagged with a fig-leaf label identifying the product as "bull nerves". Migros spokeswoman Martina Bosshard told Agence La Belle France Presse that the retailer faced negative feedback from customers when it switched to the franker, and more accurate, label. Confirming a report in Swiss daily 20 minutes, Bosshard said Migros decided to go back to the less explicit labelling, despite the fact that "no one returned" products with the bull penises label. The "Max" brand chews, which feature a cute beagle on the packet, are popular among dog owners in Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... The packets pitch the snacks as "100-percent natural" and a "treat to chew on with pleasure for a long time". |

| #1 .....negative feedback from customers when it switched to the franker, and more accurate, label. Should have been an obvious boner. |
