Shoppers were left puzzled by a peculiar image on the packaging of a famous syrup that has been on sale since 1885. The image, which many had never noticed before, depicted what appeared to be a dead lion, surrounded by flies, lying beneath a tree. Initially thought to be a sleeping lion, customers have now raised concerns about its unsettling implications. Social media users expressed their confusion and amusement, with some jokingly suggesting that the syrup was made from a decomposed lion. Despite the odd design, sales of the syrup remain unaffected.

The syrup’s packaging has not been updated in over a century, yet this bizarre detail went largely unnoticed until recently. The image, intended to depict a biblical story of Samson defeating a lion, seems to have confused modern buyers unfamiliar with the reference. Shoppers described the image as 'dark' and 'rude,' but most agreed that it wouldn’t stop them from purchasing the syrup. The story highlights how even long-standing products can surprise consumers with unexpected packaging details, causing both confusion and humor.
