A confectionery company is dealing with a sticky situation after penis-shaped gummy lollies made their way into some of its packs, costing the company thousands of dollars in recalls.

Nelson-based confectionery company Dutch Rusk imported five pallets of the gummy lollies, called Dragon Sweets, from a Chinese manufacturer about six weeks ago.

Two weeks later the company started receiving complaints from people who discovered the phallic gummies in their mixed gummy pack.

Dutch Rusk managing director of sales Jack Van de Geest said the company immediately recalled the lollies once it started receiving complaints.

"When first someone told us we thought they were joking, it can't be right.

"But they said no, it's honestly true so they sent us a bag. Then another phone call came a couple of days later and we thought, 'what's going on?' and got everything sent back."

One out of every 20 or 30 bags would have one or two little gummy penises in them, he said.

The company had apologised to the customers and compensated them with free lollies.

Collecting up all the bags of lollies and dumping them at the tip had cost the company thousands of dollars, Van de Geest said.

"We've done everything that could possibly have been done ... these things happen."

The manufacturer had also apologised and refunded the company some money, Van de Geest said.

The main concern now was that stockists of the company's lollies would cancel their orders as a result of the incident, he said.

"We want to put it to rest."

The lollies were not considered offensive in China, where the shape was a symbol of fertility and health. In fact, they are marketed and sold around the world as Penis Gummies.

Tom Cruise's young daughter, Suri, was pictured holding a pack of Penis Gummies in 2011, sparking quite the uproar.

Many other confectionery companies have also courted genital-related controversy.

In July, a lawyer discovered a curious twist to the Nestle classic the Milky Bar, with a penis appearing midway through the bar.

A United Kingdom company drew the ire of one parent last year when they started selling Camel Balls, complete with a cartoon picture of a camel and his rather large testicles.

The legacy of the uptight Pligrims live on. No wonder they were kicked out of England.

Thus their population problem.

Feminists complained that Gummi Twats were under-represented. Also, the Gummi Penises should be castrated and the Gummi Balls marketed seperately.

This is like Halloween for Poofs...

Are the vagina shaped ones called gummies or gushies?

I see, you hang out with Dan and his boyfriends too

Thou protest too much, methinks.

When viewing lesbian sex and straight sex, both the homophobic and the non-homophobic men showed increased penis circumference. For gay male sex, however, only the homophobic men showed heightened penis arousal.

Heterosexual men with the most anti-gay attitudes, when asked, reported not being sexually aroused by gay male sex videos. But, their penises reported otherwise.

Homophobic men were the most sexually aroused by gay male sex acts.

We saw your picture:

It's not surprising that you presume being black or gay would offend me.

Yeah, people like CIC are pathetic. The fact that they think such accusations are insulting demonstrates how small minded they are.

Luckily, death is the great sanitizer. Eventually bad ideas die off with the idiots who hold them. Science and society progresses one funeral at a time.

Act like a hypocrite much??

There's nothing hypocritical about me pointing out your small penis. Having a small penis is something to be ashamed about, and it explains why you are so filled with hatred and jealousy. In contrast, being black or gay isn't something to be ashamed about.

Dan8267 says

you are so filled with hatred and jealousy.

Case in point...

The fact that losers like you are jealous of my ride is just a bonus.

When you work hard and earn a lot of money you can buy nice things. That's another thing conservatives don't understand. You people are looking for government handouts like buying obsolete tanks the army doesn't even want.

I say, buy nice experiences, as in look-a-like movie star esc*rts outside of the USA.

If possible, I'd prefer to simply be driven around in a limo, so that I can bo*nk and drink Martinis, instead of worrying about the road. That's my present to myself, after I've finished this job, down under in Australia.

When I insult you, I do so creatively. Your comeback attempts are lame.

Besides, we all know that it's guns that are compensation for having a small penis.











As far as cars are concerned, the real graph is

And the Volvo C70 is very quiet.

It's also safe, reliable, comfortable, and attractive to the ladies. No wonder so many smart people drive Volvos.

In contrast, big trucks are typically driven by big, dumb assholes.

To be frank, I don't think about my car much, certainly not as often as you do. But I get it. You are jealous because you either drive a piece of shit or have to take the bus to the unemployment office.

Of course, you know nothing about cars as you have demonstrated. Here, I'll school you on the Volvo C70.

But the fact of the matter is, this isn't a race car. It's a sports-style car, but it's more of a luxury automobile. It's design to do what we're really doing right now, which is just taking a nice cruise around town.

And hot chicks love guys who drive them...

So keep being jealous of me and my car, CallItCrazy. You just can't stand that a liberal is more financially successful than you are, but it shouldn't be surprising. Liberals are far better with money than conservatives.

Well, we know that can't be you... You have no girlfriend, no wife, no kids, so I hope you're spending taking out a loan on a car.

Well, you seem to think you know a lot about my personal life. Where are you getting your information, stalker?

The only ting I've revealed on this site is that I'm single, and that's by choice, and have no kids that I know of. You're wrong on everything else. Hell, I even paid cash for my car and I'll pay cash for my house when I find a good purchase. So, you are pulling falsehoods out of your ass like a typical conservative. No wonder conservatives have no problem with Fox News lying to them; they prefer lies to the truth.

You are truly a wretched individual who projects his own insecurities onto others. I would pity you, but you're not even worth pity.

Call it Crazy says

At least I'm not living in a 1000 sq. ft. apartment like you are, with no family around... It must really suck to be you! No wonder you drink so much!!

I live in a 2000 sq.ft. house in sunny Boca Raton. I see my family all the time. I rarely drink. And I have new sexual partners all the time. Enjoy banging your old, dried up wife while she takes out her dentures and gums your micro-dick. I'll stick with 20-somethings.

Wow, you have an even larger fascination with dicks then Dan does..

So, what have we learned about CIC in this thread?

1. He's got a really small dick.
2. He's so old it probably doesn't work.
3. His latent homosexual inclinations and dissatisfaction with his wife/cousin causes him to be extremely homophobic.
4. He's poor and angry because he never could become financially successful. This causes him to be jealous of anyone who is.
5. His greatest fears are finding out his grandson is gay or this granddaughter is marrying a black man.

I don't think he's so old as to blame his impotence on age.

I don't know. I found this video of CIC.
