The popular bakery chain, which operates 30 shops across Yorkshire and the North East of Britain, also reportedly removed the smarties buttons, because people who identify as gender-neutral prefer zips, or something?
The rabbit hole of faux-outrage-cum-ironic tweeting only grew as the week stretched on.
However, the online conservative confectionary crusaders seemed oblivious to one crucial detail: the name change happened in 1983.
