A sweet firm has come under fire for having characters on their wrapper who look like they are having sex.
Maoam sweets uses illustrations of lemons, limes and cherries looking like they are getting fruity.
Now, parent Simon Simpkins of Pontefract, West Yorkshire has complained to the firm after he bought the sweets for his children.
He 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.”
Haribo who make the sweets said the “fun” packaging was introduced in Germany in 2002.
They added: “The jovial Maoam man is very popular with fans, both young and old.”
