Rude tin foxes biscuit firmBy JOHN COLESA 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.”
