Water brand Evian created a storm after its social media post sparked a backlash for apparently offending Muslims observing Ramadan.
On Tuesday, when the faithful were marking the start of a month-long fast between the hours of sunrise and sunset, the Danone subsidiary brand posted a message on its French Twitter page that read: “Retweet if you have already drunk a litre of Evian today."
The message generated an angry response from some users who found it thoughtless and insensitive. “Worst timing,” wrote one person, responding to the post that was retweeted more than 5,000 times in one day.
“There are millions of us fasting in France, right?” another said. There are more than five million Muslims living in France, the second-largest religious group in the country.

The owner of a Bradford cafe has vowed not change its name despite receiving hate mail calling on her to drop the ‘extremely wrong, disgusting, shameful’ moniker. Shelly Harper, 45, received the anonymous letter saying the name Greedy Pigs ’caused offence to the passers-by and community’ but insisted it was staying and everybody was welcome through her door. The sandwich bar and diner in East Bowling, Bradford open for 16 months ago. She received a similar note shortly after but believed the matter had died down. She has now gone to the police fearing there may be more to come.
