A U.K. retail chain is getting toasted roasted on social media over a controversial sandwich.

In celebration of Pride festivities in the U.K., Marks and Spencer recently began offering its “LGBT” sandwich — a guacamole-inclusive twist on a BLT — complete with packaging decorated with the colors of the rainbow flag.

But despite praise from some within the LGBTQI+ communities, the item raised more than a few eyebrows on Twitter, with some accusing the retailer of marginalizing the community and culture.

"Controversy" "outrage" "criticism" "backlash" whatever is now five pissed-off people on Twitter. That's all it takes.

God only knows what's in their "secret sauce". The combo platter includes a bowl of "spirit soup".

You must bow down in abject submission to the “LGBT” crowd and welcome the power that they have over us.

They did it wrong.

First should have had someone plant a story how there’s no GLAQT specific food on their menu. Then let the ‘controversy’ brew for a couple weeks, stirring occasionally to keep it in the news; then with a grand announcement introduce the gaywich to huge kudos from all the politically with-it crowd.

SUCCESS!

They have to get permission from Bruce Jenner for something like that.

I’d have picked gerkin pickles or grapes before I’d ruin a BLT with guacamole.

Is it just my computer or is Fox News having trouble with their videos?

Some years ago Burger King "celebrated 'pride' month by wrapping their sandwiches in rainbow paper.

Haven't eaten there since.

Which rocket surgeon thought correlating your burgers with anal sex was a good marketing strategy?

You misspelled fist.
LOL

Is there a dessert deal? Big piece of fudge to be packed in later?

I can't see how this loud-mouthed, bullying 2% have any kind of sex with all that overly-serious group insecurity running amok.
