You never usually have to worry when purchasing food that it might resemble a sexual organ.
There's room for the odd immature joke when it comes to carrots, but they rarely actually look like a phallus. Same with the slit in a pie, it's very rare to see one that looks like an actual vagina.
One mother, however, has been left red faced after she bought some chocolate truffle mice from Sainsbury's, which looked very much like a cock.

Thirty-five-year-old Kellie Louise Bill was about to gift her two young sons with what she assumed would be harmless, fun, mice-shaped treats, after she'd bought them from the Sainsbury's store at the Tollgate Shopping Centre in Stanway, Essex.

"Looking down at them, the two of them look very much like a male part of the body - to put it nicely," Kellie said. "It wasn't until I'd got home and opened the box to give them to my children that I noticed that they didn't really look like mice at all.

"I had to take a picture of them to show my husband when he got in as I had a little laugh to myself."
Luckily, the former chef saw the funny side to the situation. Her two young lads didn't notice the shape of the treats and were happy enough to swallow them all. Now, because they were just a hard hitting taste, they'll be returning to the Bill household, injecting a rise in their sales.
Prior to trying the mice, Luke and Oliver, Kellie's kids, had been eating monkey versions of the truffles, but the mice have now come in as stiff competition.

Kellie said: "Luke and Oliver had loved the truffle monkeys Sainsbury's have made for years - they called them 'cheeky monkeys'.
"My youngest one was having a bit of a hard time at nursery, so I had been reasoning with him by telling him if he went to nursery then he could have a cheeky monkey for being good.
"I picked out the nearest alternative - the chocolate truffle mice.
"The assistant handed them over to me in a box, and I didn't really think anything of it at that time. Unfortunately the boys really like them, so I'll have to keep buying them. But when I do now it will be with a little smirk on my face."

Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but apparently whoever made them is facing the sack.
