The Haribo MAOAM brand of sour candy has been criticized for its sexually suggestive packaging. The packages of the German company feature cartoon-like images of fruit engaged in sex acts.
An outraged parent who saw the packaging described it as "pornographic" and said the "lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter. The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face."http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25992398-401,00.html
