'X-rated' teapot leaves supermarket shoppers in hysterics

An Easter-themed teapot has left shoppers in the UK in hysterics thanks to the unfortunate positioning of its spout.

Customers joked the product, which costs $13 (£7), from supermarket Asda’s home range, is “X-rated”.

The white teapot is designed to look like a rabbit, and comes with a green and cream knitted jumper – or tea cosy – to keep your brew warm.

However, some have suggested the positioning of the spout on the rabbit’s lower half is perhaps ruder than the creators intended.

Images of the teapot have gone viral on Twitter where shoppers couldn’t help but have a giggle.

One person joked: “Just found a teapot that looks like a fully erect bunny if anyone is interested. It’s reduced in Asda at the moment.”

Another teased: “Is it only me who thinks the rabbit should be called Randy?”

Alongside a picture of the product on the shelf, a third shared: “This teapot in Asda was quite pleased to see me!”

Another commented: “I have a suspicion that @ASDA didn’t really think about the look of this teapot…Giving you a dose of the ‘Hot Stuff’.”

Meanwhile, a fifth baffled customer asked: “Not sure what @asda is thinking?!”

The supermarket advertised the teapot with some fluffy language, saying, “Keep your tea toasty and warm with this bunny rabbit teapot from George Home, complete with an adorable knitted jumper.

“The unique bunny design will leave you feeling tempted to dunk carrots instead of biscuits, but we don’t recommend it.”

Let’s hope it doesn’t get wheeled out again this time next year.
