"Father's outrage over pornographic candy wrappers" - and it's not The Onion

Or even better “Diana death due to immigrant NHS workers: what will it mean for YOUR house price? Hurrah for the Blackshirts”

The clincher is in the ingredient list, which includes KY jelly.

These don’t come in lime nor lemon-lime. That ain’t no lime, that’s a green weebl. Here’s the little guy on a skateboard (sorta).

Am I the only one who really dislikes that lime? He’s just got so much attitude.

Mr Simpkins has done a fine job of ripping off The Daily Mail and advertising Haribo at the same time. The article mentions that Mr Simpkins lives in Pontefract. Take a wild guess which town in Yorkshire has a dedicated Haribo sweet shop.
Can you guess?
I bet you can. :smiley:

Calling any Pontefract Dopers - why not pop in there and ask to speak to Mr Simpkins? Tell him to sign up on here. We need men like him.

What’s he complaining about? Those cherries are hot…

How does one pronounce “maoam?”

My god, you’re right! For some reason, that makes it even more disturbing to me. I mean, fruit-on-fruit action is one thing, but that’s just a little fruit-fucking dude! I mean, he doesn’t tell you anything about the flavor or the product. He’s just there to fuck! And did you notice that on the one wrapper where he’s not fucking, he’s wearing clothes? What kind of company chooses a fruit-fucker as its mascot? That’s worse than the Noid!

The article had me laughing so hard I was crying. Then I read the rest of the thread.

Thanks. I needed that laugh! :smiley:

That’s some good fucking candy!

Daily Mail-o-matic

COULD FERAL CHILDREN DEFRAUD YOUR PETS?
WILL THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT RUIN YOUR MORTGAGE?
ARE LESBIANS STEALING THE IDENTITY OF HOMEOWNERS?
COULD THE INTERNET GIVE BRITAIN’S FARMERS SWINE FLU?
ARE THE FRENCH INFECTING PENSIONERS WITH AIDS?
HAS BINGE DRINKING HAD SEX WITH THE MEMORY OF DIANA?

Hours of entertainment… I particularly like the description line: “I was going to give the generator a sophisticated grammar for more varied sentences, until I realised the Mail’s grammar is nearly always the same.”

You really can not trust that evil produce. :slight_smile:

I love those wrappers. I always get a wee immature chuckle out of seeing them on shop shelves and I’ve been pointing them out to friends whenever the opportunity presented itself.

That being said, I don’t think that at a young age I would have been able to take anything “indecent” away from those pictures, and if I have, then my parents should not have worried about the actual sweet-wrappers depraving me. :slight_smile:

This video: MAOAM demonstrates how to correctly pronounce MAOM.

Haribo is indeed German. Haribo stands for “Hans Riegel Bonn”, so it combines the name of the founder and the city it is based in. The company is still one of the largest employers in Bonn.

So, how many other people think those images are actually supposed to be sexual?

That “lime” is a pear.

I still would, though.

Orange you glad you opened this thread?

I like the wrappers.

In one, the pear is actually putting on a condom, but I read that the manufacturer claims this is just to convey how juicy pears can be.

In another series of wrappers, the cherries are using home pregnancy tests, but the manufacturer claims this is just to convey how you’ll feel if you eat too much candy.

I mean, come one… those are all totally legitimate reasons to have the wrappers designed like that.

Seriously, that lime is fucking that lemon and there is some cherrylingus going on. It was the first last and only thing I thought of. If I were a thirteen year old boy I would buy it for that reason alone.

If all thirteen year old boys are like I was at that age, they will see sex in anything, not just cartoon pictures of fruit.

But with the grape wrapper and the orange wrapper, it’s much more benign. It makes it all look like he’s playing with the fruits like they’re all pets - just rolling around on the floor, play wrestling, licking…
