From the Sun...
Rude tin foxes biscuit firm
By JOHN COLES
A SACKED artist took sweet revenge on his biscuit bosses — by adding sex scenes to their famous tins.
Huntley & Palmer, which created Ginger Nuts, failed to spot the saucy extras in its genteel garden party design.
And tens of thousands were sold before a grocer noticed a couple romping in the bushes among the hob-nobbing Edwardians.
Two randy dogs can also be made out bonking beside the maid’s petticoat tails, while the word s*** appears on a jam jar.
Alerted chiefs replaced the lids but they became the ultimate prize among collectors of Huntley & Palmer’s whimsical tins.
Now one is set to fetch £250 next week. Somerset auctioneer Richard Gold, whose colleague Miranda Bingham is pictured with it, joked: “I can’t say I’ve made a habit of selling top-shelf tins.”
The Berkshire biccy firm also made Iced Gems, Nice biscuits and Bourbons before its takeover.
And a source said: “The tin’s special. It’s a funny example of what can go wrong in manufacturing.”

Haha, what every person wants to do... leave their job with a bang. Glad he got away with it, and he actually kept the "saucy extras" pretty tasteful.
