- OBDriftwood, on 02/23/2008, -3/+1228I'm upset by Doritos because the bag is 87% air.
- appleann1, on 02/23/2008, -35/+1101Then don't eat the damn things!
Problem solved. - h4ckler, on 02/23/2008, -113/+830Muslims: STFU (honestly) You bitch 100% than all the other religions combined.
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -94/+434They should stop trying to change Britain. If they don't like it then maybe they should go back to where they came from.
- trenchfever, on 02/23/2008, -31/+351Almost everything that has sugar or any other fermentable carbohydrate in it has trace amounts of alcohol in it, Leavening of bread results in ethanol formation, alcohol will even be formed in trace amount even in your mouth after having something sugary. Fruits left in warm places can ferment to form alcohol and animals are known to get drunk by them. These thing happen because nature is teeming with bacteria that will gladly convert sugars to ethanol and co2 whether allah or muhammed likes it or not. Muslims should study science with the same amount of vigor that they study the worthless junk that is the koran.
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -30/+310Why the fukc do they move to a non Islamic country if they don't like non muslims and un-Islamic customs??? I believe Muslims are the ones that need change...they need to get out of the 13th century and advance at least to the 18th century.
No. You can't move to my country and start changing ***** to fit your God. No. there will be no separate law for you. No. We won't stop selling and eating pork. No we won't stop drinking alcohol. No. You can't kill your daughter because she doesn't want to wear a sheet. No. We don't want to listen to some screaming Arabic from a tower five times a day. Yes, I will read The Three Little Piggys to my kids. - inactive, on 02/23/2008, -6/+267"...a spokesperson for Walkers said that trace amounts of alcohol in crisps or bread are believed to be permissible for Muslims....We do not add alcohol to our products. However, ethyl alcohol may be present in trace amounts in a very small number of our flavours....It is used as a carrying agent for flavourings, and is found in many common food and drink products." (from the article)
- eLye, on 02/23/2008, -25/+209That's not very "not sensitive to Muslim needs"
/sarcasm - DeskFlyer, on 02/23/2008, -23/+180lol Muslims
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -61/+209I say...LET'S ADD PIG FAT TO ALL DORITOS...and really send the Muslim whiners into a tizzy. Oh, and make each dorito look like Mohammed's face...and that 9 year old girl that he molested.
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -11/+156Can I quadruple digg this comment?
- SeaMowse, on 02/23/2008, -13/+154Some Muslims from foreign countries, don't like American food. I was watching a UStream from Malaysia, where you could hear the Muslim prayers in the background (broadcast on a loudspeaker, throughout the city). The UStream host was telling the viewers that the person preaching was saying 'Don't eat McDonalds. Don't eat KFC. Don't drink Pepsi.' Maybe it has to do with the trace amounts of alcohol, but I think it might also have to do with the fact that Doritos are ultimately an American product.
- tolbs, on 02/23/2008, -1/+124The bag can only contain so much EXTREME.
- omnithought, on 02/23/2008, -23/+140Why do Muslims keep expecting the rest of the world to bow down to their archaic ways? ***** off already. It's 2008, time to get rid of old superstitions.
- fkr3, on 02/23/2008, -2/+112If you haven't been wasted on Doritos you're just not trying...
- nyrol2, on 02/23/2008, -11/+119I think Doritos should definitely start considering Muslims a little bit more when they produce their chips. There should be a subtle sign saying "suitable for Muslims" and have a little picture of Muhammed giving a thumbs up. Why not the picture from wikipedia?
- arbouler, on 02/23/2008, -2/+100no not really. different schools teach different things. i know that when i was in islamic school back then (like, 11 years around K-12 time), they said it's not a big deal if you accidentally ate it, just dont do it again.
but in general this whole thing is stupid. yea, just dont eat it! dont use alcohol for even medical purposes! dont eat anything that contains alcohol!
the koran literally mentioned: "dont drink alcohol". but in this case, youre not drinking it, it's processed, and you wont get wasted. sorry but islamic teachings are so twisted and intertwined the past few hundred years, it's nuts. no wonder there's idiots who wanna kill everyone else for no reason at all. - inactive, on 02/23/2008, -16/+109And another thing...Some of their ***** is pretty damned offensive not only to me but to Hindus, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Atheists, Women, Gays.....
- sk11, on 02/23/2008, -2/+93It's also used in some medicines.
- ericdano, on 02/23/2008, -9/+89No no no, they couldn't DO THAT. That would be too simple.
- TheBigBad, on 02/23/2008, -20/+98Is there anything that doesn't upset Muslims?
- Enasni1212, on 02/23/2008, -7/+80We're not bashing them because they're Muslim, we're bashing them because they're stupid. As the article said, BREAD contains trace amounts of alcohol. Are they not supposed to eat bread?
- neckfire, on 02/23/2008, -15/+84Muslims upset by cartoons, muslims upset by pork, musims upset by alcohol, muslims upset by water, blah blah, blah.... who cares :P
Saddam could apparently eat an entire bag in a single sitting BTW. - Donald2007, on 02/23/2008, -18/+86Many Muslims are very sensitive-- they are upset by very many things.Sometimes its hard to know what will set them off. [Here's an excellent list of but a few things that have in the past...it may helpful--
http://tinyurl.com/yqf76g - dupswapdrop, on 02/23/2008, -23/+89After a day of Lopping off heads, I want my Doritos! And now I find out I can't have any because they have alcohol in them.
- appleann1, on 02/23/2008, -15/+77Jackass.
You really hate this country, Conservatives, Christians, Jews and whites.
For someone who is the vilest name caller around here, you are by far the most bigoted, racist commenter on Digg .
"Fat ass whining Americans". Look in the mirror Jackass. - inactive, on 02/23/2008, -6/+67Violence towards non-Muslims.
- BlackJackJester, on 02/23/2008, -2/+59I would just like to point out Dorito's were one of Saddam's Hussein's favorite snacks. There was an interview with his prison guards shortly after his execution. I thought it was interesting.
- diskit, on 02/23/2008, -13/+69Muslims are pissed off.
What else is new? - lickmylovepump, on 02/23/2008, -18/+73in other news, muslims want a ban on kitty cats, because 'they are too damn furry and they lick their own asses.'
- Alfonzo, on 02/23/2008, -10/+63Holy crap, h4ckler, do you really think all muslims are freaking out about this? Sounds like a couple of douchebags are hunting for a lawsuit. The way this article is written is obviously aimed to perpetuate the image of the 'furious muslim with no reasoning'. This is not news, this is bullsh*t.
- zachblume, on 02/23/2008, -4/+56So? Your body has a natural (small but there) amount of alcohol in it at all times...does that mean everyone naturally goes to hell?
- Spamcan, on 02/23/2008, -3/+54That is the reason, but the chips always end up crushed anyway. Why every company doesn't just apply the Pringles model at this point is beyond me.
BTW, bagged air is possibly offensive to Muslims too, I'm not 100% sure. - f4nt0m4s, on 02/23/2008, -16/+64Muslims are the only group of people that give Scientologists a run for their money.
- FiP0, on 02/23/2008, -10/+58Try getting your news from other sources, Digg likes sensationalism, not accuracy.
- uiguy3, on 02/23/2008, -7/+54This is a non-issue.
- Alex2, on 02/23/2008, -3/+48Bread has alcohol in it too, it comes from the yeast.
- basic0, on 02/23/2008, -0/+45Sure, but your diggs will be measured by weight, not volume.
- joeroot1, on 02/23/2008, -9/+53I cannot believe how unbelievably ignorant digg has become. Firstly the article has been written by the Daily Mail, which is recognized by the majority of British people perpetuate extreme right wing rumors whilst also being extremely sensationalist. Furthermore the article seems to claims "Muslims" have this opinion, when in fact one shop owner and a few idiots on a council kick up a small fuss about small traces of alcohol in crisps. The majority of Muslims do not care and will never care. The article is merely trying to paint the picture that all muslims are over-sensitive and are trying to change Britain to suit themselves, and as usual the masses of ignorant racist diggers leap upon this article screaming "OMFG why do muslims always bitch so much". The irony that Americans, who reside in a country notorious for suing over minor issues have the cheek to complain when one muslim shop keeper asks a crisp manufacturer to label their crisps as having tiny traces of alcohol is hysterical.
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -7/+51"Why the fukc do they move to a non Islamic country if they don't like non muslims and un-Islamic customs??? "
- Because they believe that the whole world is destined to be ruled under a single Caliphate. - DannyDaWriter, on 02/23/2008, -10/+53Damn, I was just about to open my own "Allahu Snackbar."
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -8/+48The fact that they are freaking out is the story... I'm Mormon and I'm not up in arms about it. It's amazing how ignorant some groups of people can be. As you said... alcohol occurs naturally in so many of the things we eat that it would be impossible to live a life without it. This reaction on their part is totally Taliban-ish... they want to recreate the world into their distortion of reality.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -17/+56AMERIKKKAN PIG I CUT YUOR HEAD FOR U PUT BEERS ON MY CHIP
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -18/+57Well considering that most of these people weren't even ***** born in the country, they should learn to live in Western society. Society doesn't need to adapt to them.
- floridiot2, on 02/23/2008, -2/+40help = bean dip soaked in jack daniels.
- rz8472, on 02/23/2008, -4/+42Solution: Halal-itos.
- floridiot2, on 02/23/2008, -4/+42NATURE IS BLASPHEMY!! WTF
- Cyrus042, on 02/23/2008, -11/+48I don't think they have an issue with not eating it if it has alcohol. The issue was that many of them were not informed, either through poor labeling, or lacking information between the manufacturers and the stores that there was trace amounts of alcohol.
From what I can gather from the article, Walkers (Doritos) did not mention the fact that there was ethyl alcohol in the ingredient's listing. I don't think it's unreasonable for companies to make small concerted efforts like labeling food in order to respect individual's personal or religious beliefs, regardless of how odd they may seem. - h0ser, on 02/23/2008, -5/+42I think they have so much air in the bag so all the chips don't crush in transportation and end up being crumbs by the time it hits the shelves.
- Scruffydan, on 02/23/2008, -6/+42Reminds me of Jews that are strictly Kosher. The rules are twisted and exaggerated that all original meaning is lost. Of course when traces of pork products (or other non kosher stuff) are found in food that was thought to be kosher, and religious Jews make a fuss no one cares, but when Muslims do it is news.
