'A dad last night blasted a sweet firm over fruity characters on wrappers who look like they are having sex. Haribo's MAOAM sour candy uses illustrations of lemons, limes and cherries. But Simon Simpkins was shocked at the "porno" poses when he bought the sweets for his kids Benjamin and Ofelia. Mr Simpkins of Pontefract, West Yorks, said: "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 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" - The Sun.
