Surely these crisps are named after the non-alcoholic cocktail?

I've had some, and they taste like tomato-flavoured crisps, which backs up my theory.

That being the case, how comes the cocktail isn't considered offensive by Protect The Pope - lobby group that's new to me.

(Sidebar - my spellchecker tried to correct 'lobby' to 'loony'...make of that what you will).

Oh, the irony.

I dunno, you'd have thought that was God's job, wouldn't you?
Calling a product a Virgin Mary anything sounds like associating the mother of Christ with a commercial product. Calling a drink "a Virgin Mary", because it is the alcohol- free version of a Bloody Mary, and so an innocent drink, is just a word play on Mary I's nickname, Bloody Mary.
If it had been anything Islamic, there would have been murders and prets razed to the ground.

So this is mild objection really.

Jihad and onion perhaps? Available in the regular or low fatwa variety.
