Candy shoppers are reporting that there’s a suggestive quote printed on the bottom of family-sized packages of Maltesers, a British variety of chocolate-covered malt balls.
The quote: “Everyone likes a nice bottom.”

A Googling of that phrase yields only 39 results, but according to Trademarkia, those five words were trademarked in October 2019 by Mars, Incorporated — the manufacturer of Maltesers, 3 Musketeers, M&M’s, Twix, and other confections.

Mars probably meant “bottom” in the sense of “rump” or “caboose.” But when photos of the Maltesers packaging start circulating on the r/gay subreddit, you know people are taking the phrase to a whole new level.

Seriously, Queerty?!
You continuously hold back (=censor) my legitimate replies for weeks, while you let obvious spam be posted freely?!
What’s wrong with you???

Bottom is a very common colloquial reference to an arse. As bottom has also become a wider reference in the gay community doesn’t mean the wider str8 community would think of the reference the same way (until it becomes a blow up story that will no doubt be picked up by a shock jock tabloid TV show)

There are plenty of straight men who quite appreciate a female “bottom.” It’s hardly been trademarked by the gay community.
