Simon Simpkins, a Pontefract, West Yorkshire, U.K. father of two, says he was buying Haribo MAOAM sour candies for his children when he noticed the ‘pornographic’ illustrations of limes, lemons and cherries romping with each other.
‘The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter.
‘The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face.’
A spokesman for Haribo said the ‘fun’ packaging of the sweets was introduced in Germany 2002 and added: ‘This jovial MAOAM man is very popular with fans, both young and old.’
