Asda are to change the name of their bird food in an attempt to stop customers laughing at their "fat balls".
The rolls of fat and seeds, which cost £1.38, are put out in gardens during the winter months to encourage wild birds to feed in the cold. Sian Horner, a spokeswoman for Asda, said the supermarket was considering either covering the packaging or changing the name of the product to stop the laughter.
This is not the first time Asda have been caught out for the humorous names of their products- Cock Soup, a Jamaican delicacy, had to be confined tothe top shelf because customers had complained that it was rude.

As daft as renaming their fresh fish Colin to save embarrasment, but not as much fun as a shouted price request for a couple of Pollocks.
