- Germans are outraged by treat named after Adolf Hitler
- Lack of Holocaust education in the country means the snack isn't shocking
- The ice cream cones are readily-available across India
- German newspaper Bild labelled the cones a macabre publicity stunt
"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.

According to the sitcom, Heil Honey, I'm Home, Hitler and Eva escaped to London and had some wacky Jewish neighbors. Yes, that was a real British sitcom in the 80's.
