I don't care if this is a hoax. In fact, if it is a hoax, I will definitely always buy Haribo's products forever (which is probably the result they wanted: if so, well done Haribo! You have snared me with your cunning social media strategy marketing plan communications efforts type strategy!). You will like it. Do click on the link, even if it does increase traffic to the Daily "Fucking" Mail.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. A few years ago, a friend took her daughter to a Haribo factory in France where they bought sweets of various varieties, each of which included one sweet in the shape of the face of a 'person of colour' - made out of licorice.
I think I am ensnared too. In fact, I love Haribo sweets already. They are tackily delicious (resisted the temptation there) and I have to pretend I buy them for children and then am forced to eat them myself to save toothrot in the young.
my favourite line (hoax or not):
"The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face."
Moral outrage from chewy sweets? How does the Daily Mail manage to stay so foamingly angry for so long? Oh, how I hate their prissy, petty paper...
(btw, for a few moments of fun, check out the Daily Mail Headline Generator. Might raise a smile...)
His wife probably had to sit down in the car park because that would be less embarrassing than standing next to her husband whingeing on about sweet wrappers!
Also, what a dick. Why have a go at the shop manager? Did he print the wrappers? No!
I like the wrappers more than I like the sweeties. I much prefer Starmix!
I would like an explanation from the Daily Mail on what exactly they feel is happening with the cherries and the lime? See, I do feel the lime has a certain maleness about it - without corroborative anatomical evidence - but what about the cherries? And while the one does appear to be enjoying at the very least a thorough licking from the lime what is the role of the other? Is it a cherry Uncle Pandarus? A voyeur? simply waiting in line? I need to know just exactly how to direct my outrage.
Also, don't really like sweets much but I would definitely buy the entire line. And frame it.
LOVE IT !
