A dad has criticised a sweet firm over characters on wrappers who look like they are having sex.
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.
"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."
But Haribo hit back telling the newspaper the "fun" packaging was introduced in Germany in 2002.
It added: "The jovial MAOAM man is very popular with fans, both young and old."
