Everyone knows that the easiest way to sell candy is to make it sexy, so it only makes sense that candy maker Haribo would push its "MAOAM" (don't ask me how to pronounce that) line of treats by depicting cherries, lemons, and one seriously slutty lime engaging in a fruit orgy. Unfortunately, some boner killer in the UK is not pleased with this packaging, so he went and complained:
Simon Simpkins, a dad of two, said he was shocked at the "pornographic" poses when he bought Haribo's MAOAM sweets for his children. Mr Simpkins of Pontefract, West Yorkshire, 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."
Haribo thinks its wrappers are just fine, saying that "The jovial MAOAM man is very popular with fans, both young and old."
Totally. Look at how much fun he's having!
And, don't worry, we're already working on having the MAOAM man as our next Unzipped centerfold.
