Outrage over sexy Haribo sweet wrapper

Thursday, August 27, 2009

The sexy sweet wrappers with lime is clearly enjoying himself.

A dad has criticised a sweet firm over characters on wrappers who look like they are having sex.

Simon Simpkins, a dad of two, said he was shocked at the "pornographic" poses when he bought Haribo's MAOAM sweets for his children.

Mr Simpkins of Pontefract, West Yorkshire, told The Sun: "The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter.

"The lime, who I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face.

"I demanded to see the shop manager and, during a heated exchange, my wife became quite distressed and had to sit down in the car park."

But Haribo hit back telling the newspaper the "fun" packaging was introduced in Germany in 2002.

It added: "The jovial MAOAM man is very popular with fans, both young and old."

A sense of humor detected in Germany? That’s something you don’t see every day.

(This was maybe 40 years ago...) My grandmother showed me a trick whereby if you folded the package correctly from land’o’lakes butter, the gal’s knees appeared to be something else. Does that still work today?

That's awfully heterosexist to assume that there should be one and only one "gentleman" in any coupling. In fact, the use of "coupling" discriminates against those who like it in groups. (Just wait until he sees the grape package - they're in bunches.)

"I demanded to see the shop manager and, during a heated exchange, my wife became quite distressed and had to sit down in the car park."

Was she distressed by the packages or by her idiot husband?

My money’s on the idiot husband.

They're not just twins, the cherries Siamese twins. Oh, baby!

Besides all the fruits are homosexual. No problem.

I’ve seen that lurid expression before on a guava and a banana.

[Dallas59]

Well......

`Mr. Simpkins and the Lascivious Fruits’ No, that sends people to the dictionary.

`Simon and the Lurid Limes’: band & recording contract!

[BunnySlippers]

It’s a threesome too! ;)

Ping for later.

Dear me. I'm about sick of living in the UK. People here are panty-waists. Maybe it's time to move on to sunnier climes and better food....

The man has a dirty mind, I think he should take it out and wash it.
