    Father's fury over children's 'pornographic' sweet wrappers

    (According to Mr Simpkins, the lime has a 'particularly lurid' expression on its face during its encounter with a lemon)

    (EDIT: T
    he lime enjoys a similarly smutty experience with a willing pair of cherries)

    Why do they need to stick it in their mouth to get the sweet? Surely, even kids would have the sense to shoot the sweet in to their hand first, rather than risking it coming out at breakneck speed and choking you? Still, I don't know, don't have kids myself, but if I did I'd hope they would have the common sense to do that!

    when I clicked on it, the fact it was a gun didn't really shock me as its tiny and bright red...whats worse is that you say they shoot out real fast....that would worry me more! x..but yeah totally guff idea!

    When I read his letter I desperately wanted it to be real, but it must be a hoax. (If it isn't, well, what kind of perv sees cherries performing fellatio on a lime??) ;)

    How shocking
    You can't even walk down the street these days without seeing an abandoned, fully loaded Smith and Wesson just laying there on the pavement.
    A kid only has to pick up the real handgun, thinking it's a candy toy, and shoot their little face off.

    Do sweet designers not think of the children?

    You mean a little bit like this incident? ;)

    You know, that's what I thought.

    I was somewhat of a sweet expert in my youth (yes, you could push me down a hill and I'd roll :p) and I'm sure I had things like this, never stuck them in my mouth, but in my hand.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

  • er - its not the packaging that shocks me - but read the ingredients list please. sounds like a chemical factory! i do NOT buy maoam or haribos for my grandkids. for one thing i dont like hyperactive kids staying with me - for another one brand makes my grand-daughter vomit vile red stuff!
    to my mind - these so called sweets should be banned!

    They probably are designed for adults though, like the edible thongs and gummi willys.
