KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — A Hong Kong distiller will change the name of its product after it was deemed offensive by a panel that considers complaints about products.

Incognito Group Limited, which produces the gin Fok Hing Gin, said the name was intended to pay homage to a street located in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, Fuk Hing Lane, and the name had been changed from ‘Fuk’ to ‘Fok’ to differentiate it from the offensive word used in Western culture, Daily Star reported.
The controversy erupted after the Independent Complaints Panel (ICP) received a complaint that Fok Hing Gin’s name had the potential to cause serious or widespread offence.

Why must companies pander to the snowflakes' hurt feelings? If they don't like it, don't buy it.

 

[Tun Tija]

Fucking Gin? That is aptly named. It is a norm that alcoholic drink and fucking come hand in hand.

This all started with the Rebranding of 'Darkie toothpaste'

I prefer the original name..

They could have made a huge bundle selling darkie toothpaste in india and Africa. Cos Chinese seldom shower nor brush their teeth. Wrong target market

It has been years since I last made a vodka martini. Shaken not stirred (really!). Vodka, vermouth, crushed ice. Then pop in some olives.

$118 for 700ml bottle. Considered quite ex. From what I read the botanicals are the usual Asian blend - Jasmine tea, Sichuan pepper and juniper blah blah
