The watchdogs independent complaints panel has upheld a consumer complaint that the prominent image of a cartoon snake in sunglasses on the drinks bottle has particular appeal to under-18s.\\r\\nThis contravenes the Portman Groups code that sets minimum, mandatory standards for drinks producer marketing.\\r\\nA Retailer Alert Bulletin will now be issued to prevent sale of the product until its packaging is altered to comply with the code.
there are alot more things out there that are alot worse than this but nouthing get done about it what aload of rubish this is
i think this is rediculous no one under the age of 18 can purchase alchol and so this is irrelivant alot of products use cartoon images and it doesnt mean they will drink it if they are 16 they will drink it regardless of a cartoon snake this is the brand logo and has been for a very long time.
Bring back the rattle snake!
Over reaction by the Portman Group in response to, as I understand it, a single complaint from public.
change it back, i love this cyder and the snake should stay
The Rattler snake is part of the cornish heritage as the logo of a cyder born and bred in cornwall!! Bring it back!!
