"I'm so shocked. 'Take a bite,' is it just me? Or is this just not OK? I would never have my girls in this T-shirt," she added.
Spanish retail clothing chain Zara was recently in the news after it faced backlash over a children's t-shirt which was called out for being "sexually suggestive." The controversy began after a woman posted a video of the white, crew-neck shirt featuring black and red lettering that read "The Perfect Snack" across the left side of the chest and "The Strawberry: A small burst of sweet joy" on the right.
Further, the back of the t-shirt showed two halves of the strawberry, one showing the inside of the fruit with the other showing the outside. The caption at the back said, "Take a bite. A burst of sweet delight, making it the perfect summer snack" and "the strawberry: a small burst of joy".
Laura Wilson, 32, the mother of two children who lives in London said that the garment was in the girl's section of the clothing brand's store in Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent. Notably, the term "snack" is used for a sexually attractive person.
