I thought he was cold until he turned green. Then I started thinking he was some kind of vegetable-furry. Which I guess would be a leafy. Then I just started thinking about whether an anthro-produce comic would be more funny or disturbing, or whether it would be funny because it was disturbing. Then I remembered the video game Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom and decided it would be more disturbing. But that largely depends on whether there's implied cannibalism, vegetables giving birth to humans, and Tom Cruise.

Don't forget Kung-Food.

Vegetales are spooky, but not as creepy as this:

It haunts me.

[KWill]

They sell these kind of things to children over here:

[Tim]

what.

[KWill]

It's taffy, not condoms, in case that's what you were thinking.

[TheSuburbanLetdown]

That actually makes it weirder.

[TRI]

It's made by Haribo even....

[Jim North]

I'm probably going to be sorry that I asked this, but . . . what exactly is the green thing supposed to be?

[McDuffies]

That nymphomaniac toffy. There was even a threesome.

You gave this more thought than it's reasonable.

I have no idea, now that you mention it...

Research time!

EDIT: From the English version of their site:

From 2002 onwards, MAOAM products took on a new and even more attractive design. In order to give the MAOAM brand more appeal to its target group a unique comic-strip figure was created who symbolises the fun and crazy aspect of the brand.
The MAOAM man, an eye-catching and jovial figure who appears on the products in many forms, is very popular with MAOAM fans, both young and old.

Just sharing a sample of how my mind works. And yes, my train of thought is easily derailed.

I assumed that was either a mango or a lima bean.

[TheSuburbanLetdown]

I hope it's a mango. Lima bean candy doesn't sound good.

[TRI]

Eh. They both sound repulsive to me, but not many people seem to agree with me about mangoes.

You know, the weird thing 'though, is that the Moaom website calls that packaging a "more attractive design." But the "history" page shows that their old packaging was completely free of fruit-and-vegetable sex.

Well now I think that the whole sex angle was not completely accidental.

[KWill]

This Christian boarding school sent them a satirical letter complaining about it. Hilariously enough, Europe's largest collection of lies on paper believed it and ran a story on it.

[Killbert-Robby]

I freakin' love MAOAM. Tasty as hell.
And full of lima-bean man love-stuff by the looks of it.

[Jim North]

I was thinking "cucumber", myself.

[Killbert-Robby]

Cucumber with a penis? We're getting into fractals now.
