'Oh my god. I need to call the Samaritans'
A quick trip to Asda, Tesco or Morrisons and you'll spot it on the shelves. The design of the well know syrup has hardly changed over time, and is easily recognisable.
It may be the unassuming mascot of a sweet treat, but the lion is actually dead. And those dots above him- are actually a swarm of insects.It turns out the dead lion with a flurry of bees buzzing around it is inspired by the Biblical tale of Samson. According to the Mirror, creator Abram Lyle decided to use the Bible's Lion and the Bees story for his packaging.
So, Samson took the honey and gave it to his parents, then when he was asked where he got it from, he said: "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet." The revelation was brought to light a while back on Reddit too, where users were mind blown to discover the tale behind the syrup.
