The West Auckland cafe selling 'gender neutral' gingerbread people

A popular West Auckland cafe has created a splash after they changed their "gingerbread man" biscuit to gender-neutral.

About a month ago customers at New Lynn's The Tannery asked the owner why the cafe felt the need to give the popular cafe biscuit a gender.

Initially, owner Andre Cettina thought the customer was joking around, but he soon realised he was serious.

Cettina then decided to change the label to say "gingerbread gender-neutral person" as a tongue-in-cheek response to the gingerbread man label.

I'm glad to see he did it as a joke!

You've got to be ****ing kidding me.

I call bull **** on anyone who says a number of customers came up to them to ask why they had to be called ginger bread men. No-one has that conversation. This is nothing but attention seeking nonsense and they know it.

Gingerbread men are definitely men, because they just stare straight ahead and never talk to you.

I want anatomically correct gingermen and gingerwomen and the occasional ones with both.
