edjr 6,608 Posted May 26, 2015 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3097640/The-Luft-wafer-Ice-cream-cone-named-Adolf-Hitler-sale-India-sparks-anger-Germany.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline Even for the most dedicated of ice cream lovers this sweet treat may prove a little hard to swallow. Unbelievably a brand of ice cream cone is readily available in India which is named after Hitler. It’s difficult to fathom what the Nazi leader may have in common with the crunchy snack, but Hitler’s name is splashed across boxes of the tasteless delicacy which is hawked across the country. Meanwhile the cold eyes of the killer stare out at ice cream customers from the side of the packaging. In some instances he appears in cartoon form in a Swastika-shaped top hat with a jaunty red bowtie, which is somewhat at odds with his furious expression. Other more sombre packages depict him in full military regalia with almost photographic realism, looking very out of place next to an ice cream that's almost as big as he is. But all the boxes of cones have the notorious moustache on display. A lack of Holocaust education in India means that people on the sub-continent know little about the Nazi leader, and consequently Hitler-themed pubs and restaurants are not viewed with outrage. But back in the country that struggles to shake off his murderous legacy 70 years after his death, it is a different story. In all seriousness. it's been what 80 years? Isn't it time we start allowing people to use the name Hitler in their products without persecuting them? How long most they wait? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 4,254 Posted May 26, 2015 I think it might take another 100 years before it can even start to subside. Keep in mind that you still have present day African Americans talking about slavery as if they just jumped off the plantation last week,,,,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,322 Posted May 27, 2015 I really like the apple/nut charoset flavoring with a touch of Bitburger Pils and just the slightest hint of Zyklon-B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
