Following objections by parents in Great Britian, Disney has stopped selling High School Musical themed panties for "tween" girls.

The panties have the phrase "Dive In" emblazoned on them, prompting an uproar in the UK. According to Disney, the slogan is from the swimming pool scene featured in "High School Musical 2."

Disney has since stated "Unfortunately, an oversight was made and the text on the underwear was used out of context. This product will not be part of any forthcoming collections and the remaining product has been removed from shelves."
