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 ? .
It’s difficult to fathom what the ? leader may have in common with the crunchy snack, but ? ’s name is splashed across boxes of the tasteless delicacy which is hawked across the country.
Meanwhile the cold eyes of the k!ller stare out at ice cream customers from the side of the packaging.
In some instances he appears in cartoon form in a ? -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 ? leader, and consequently ? -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.
News of the ? ice cream cones provoked a furious response on websites calling for the brand to be withdrawn.
One spectator in Berlin, said: ‘There is taste and there is tastelessness. The people of India should be made aware of the terrible crimes committed by him.’
German newspaper Bild labelled the ice cream cones a ‘macabre publicity stunt’, while several Twitter users branded them ‘tasteless!’

You thinking of Arabs…Indians wouldn't give a ? about something called "Hadji" .. you gonna get some german hotdog company bombed/shot up -
From a marketing pov I'm surprised that hasn't been done sooner. It'll work. The ? is heavily associated with some aspects of Hinduism and (has nothing to do with ? though). Llkely those Indians are thinking more about the symbolism and ice cream than the person behind them.

The man is just trying to make a living, feed his 15 kids and ? . Quit hating.
