What do you get when you mix sex and sweet wrappers? One furious father.

Simon Simpkins of West Yorkshire was picking out some fruity sour sweets for his children when he noticed something peculiar about the sweet's packaging.

"The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter," Simpkins explained. "The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face."

Simpkins was so outraged by this "pornographic" discovery that he got into a heated exchange with the shopkeeper. A spokesman for Haribo, the German company that makes the candy, confirmed they like to have "fun" with their wrappers.

We were about to dismiss Simpkins as an out-of-touch crank until we saw another of Haribo's wrappers -- this one of two cherries servicing Mr. Lime. A lime and a lemon is one thing, but that one's just perverse.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Students at a Catholic school complained about new Haribo sweet wrappers which they claim portray fruit having sex.

Graduates from St Blasien Jesuit College, near Freiburg, were complaining about the new wrappers for Haribo's Moam sweets.

In a letter to the firm, they wrote: "We are shocked at the shameless presentation of sexual practices on the wrapping, which includes not only sexual intercourse but also fellatio and cunnilingus."

The letter added: "It's irresponsible, to expose children to such pornographic representations."

The sweets wrapped in bright yellow, red and green colours show lemons, limes, strawberries, cherries and oranges romping with each other.

The students were especially opposed to the lemon flavoured chews, which "undoubtedly show a green figure having sex with a lemon".

"The lemon, which from the drawing looks female, is obviously enjoying it with the greatest of pleasure."

Haribo bosses admit the new packaging is "very racy", but said in tests no complaints had been raised.

Spokesman Marco Alfter said: "The new wrapping is certainly fruitier than the old. But we have not had any other complaints. In fact until now the feedback has all been positive."

The other day, while doing our weekly shop, I bought for my two children, Benjamin and Ofelia, a packet of Haribo Maoam lemon-and-lime confectionary. It was only after I was leaving the check-out that I noticed the appalling illustration on the packaging. This consists of a lemon and a lime locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter. The lime, who I assume to be the gnetleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid and distasteful 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. I was told to register my compliant [sic] with the manufacturer.
I'm glad I spotted this before my young children, who are both very sensitive. My wife and I have always tried to maintain their innocence -- and to think our years of careful parenting could have been wrecked by, of all things, a sweet wrapper makes me livid.
I received a reply from the company saying that the wrapper design had been introduced in Germany in 2002 with a view to making fruit figures 'more modern and lively' to 'better appeal to the consumer'.
It said: 'At no point was it intended to create sexual images.' It had been shown to a number of children and adults of different age groups, none of whom has made any comments referring to sexual content.
I consider this response less than satisfactory. As a member of our local church, I'm now uring other members of our flock to boycott Haribo products until this illustration is removed.

You just made your own points invalid.
