A Chinese takeaway in Greater Manchester has raised eyebrows with a saucy Facebook post that has since gone viral online.
The Canton House Chinese and Chippy, on Manchester Road in Denton, has gained popularity on the social media platform for the witty ‘marketing’ posts by its owners.
A recent status, shared on Monday (July 14), included a picture of a Munchy Box, priced at £20, following days of hot weather across Greater Manchester.

Reminding customers that the takeaway was still open, the bizarre post read: “The heat is gone, finally…. you guys can have sex tonight” followed by an aubergine emoji.
The post continued: “Don’t forget to order Chinese too. *No one having Chinese last week, I nearly go bankrupt.”

Sharing another meme, which appeared to be taken from a pornographic film, the owners said a post had been taken down because ‘someone complained about dirty jokes’.
Adding: “This is my marketing, I just put things up with the trend which could be anything – just people have more response for ‘dirty’ (laughing emoji).”

One comment read: “10/10 advertising that” as another said: “Spat my coffee everywhere!”
Another user shared the post and wrote: “If you’re not marketing your products like this, then GET OUT!”
