Getting fruity

[option click]

This made me laugh, until I read the infamous words
"The complaint stems from the letter to the Daily Mail..."

Great expression on the Lime's face though.

Saw this article in The Sun today,

These sweets have been out for years and it is a long standing joke about the wrappers, I'm sure there's been a thread or two on here about them.

What made me laugh was the comment from the Dad,

"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."

FFS they are sweet wrappers, get a life, why on earth is it the shop managers fault?!

Disgusting - kids should not be allowed anywhere near this Continentsl rubbish. We all know that Johnny Foreigner only ever has sex on the brain.

What's wrong with upstanding, good old British sweets - like Opal Fruiits or Spangles.

Idiot 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."

What a complete and utter fking tt. How do these people even manage to survive on a day-to-day basis?

That letter will have been planted, it is called negative promotion. Just look at how much publicity they have got for free. I had never heard of the sweets but now I have.
The agency who have done this have picked the paper well to send the letter to knowing that they would run with it.

There really are some tts in the world.

It's as well Mr Simpkins never saw the Cadbury Flake adverts.

When I was younger I could never eat one of those without feeling embarrased!

Surely you remember that news story from a few years back:

"I ate Old English Spangles and I grew women's tits!"

Oh Wait. I think I read it in Viz...

I'm sure this happened a couple of years ago with MAOAM wrappers, the company changed them at the time.

Maybe it should be called the lemon-stroke from now on

[Glacier]

I wasn't aware that limes or lemons reproduced sexually.

Looks like I learned something about lovin'

The person that wrote the letter must not be getting any to see something sexual in sweets - in fact, it reminds me of a story about a packet of fruit pastels I certainly don't think children would be seeing the same thing.

Excellent. I now know what to wash down with my next can of

Simpkins ! what a handle.

[Evangelion]

"Simon Simpkins"?

You couldn't make it up!

Although actually I too have a feeling that somebody did.

[Mojocvh]

"If Mr Simpkins thinks these pieces of fruit are engaged in a 'carnal encounter' this is a problem in his own head that he needs to deal with."

pmsl!
