Arabs 'boycotting Ariel washing powder'

Arabs are reportedly boycotting Ariel washing powder, in the belief that it is named after Israeli leader Ariel Sharon.

Pravda says spiritual leaders in Egypt have called on citizens to boycott Ariel, which is made by US firm Procter and Gamble.

Pravda claims the Egyptians believe the name is associated with the Israeli prime minister, and say the product label includes a Star of David.

A number of US companies, including Coca Cola and McDonalds, have seen sales suffer from Arab boycotts in the Middle East.







can this be true?

This is actually old news. I read it in the Guardian a couple of months ago. I wonder why ananova has only just got wind of it.
