What with England turning into a police state, I assume the candy maker will get life in prison for this outrage. Can’t have cartoon fruit doing such things… in public, anyway.
A British man has complained to candy maker Haribo about a candy wrapper he described as sexually charged.
Simon Simpkins of Pontefract, England, said the Haribo Maoam wrapper depicts a “male” lime character engaged in a “sexy clinch” with a cartoon lemon, The Sun reported Tuesday. Simpkins said in his complaint to the company that the lime bears a “lurid and distasteful” facial expression, the British tabloid reports.
The candy maker said the image was not intended to be interpreted as sexual.
“At no point was it intended to create sexual images,” a representative said.
Amusing that it is an entry regarding citrus fruit that has the limeys all contributing today. Holy Crickets!!
… and there’s also the hidden sexual message when you read the name of the gum backwards.
#17 Jager,
That’s because Americans will eat sweetened shite if they are exposed to enough marketing.
This one reminds of me Cherry Pie:

Very true. Hershey’s chocolate is awful compared to most European brands.
#24 – Angel H. Wong
LOL – I’m sure that candy sells in the gay community…
I must be becoming a prude as I age. I’d find the lemon to be a lot more exciting than a two-fer with two cherries. Whats happening to me?
Jag==its a good thing you post so many links to supplement your posts. I thought sure you were refering to some kind of chocolate covered nuts that kiddies use to float in punch.
Its all individual taste. Nothing wrong with Hersheys==almost like American Beer on a hot day when what you really want is a glass of water. European Chocolate with its listed cocoa butter content is a bit cloying sometimes. I know its “better” but I’m an American!!!!!
Somebody should be locked up for having a sick mind. The person that complained. ?;^)
That’s a male lemon if ever I saw one
…Put the lime in the coconut, you drank ‘em both up.
The cherry one is disgusting. Depicts 2 fruits engaging in oral pleasure while the other one watches in glee.
Whats next, put in a dominatrix grape?
