Made in India: Ice Cream Cones Named After Hitler Spark Anger in Germany

We're not sure what Hitler has in common with ice cream, but unknowingly the Nazi-leader has been chosen as the brand ambassador of a small ice-cream cone enterprise, which in fact is also named after him: ‘Hitler Ice Cream Cone’.
On some packets you'll see his piercing eyes stare right at you and on others you'll see him in a full military get up. On one of the packets, he's dressed in a tuxedo with a red bow tie and has been made to replicate the pose of Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is nothing but a nickname for United States federal government. It also seems like a caricature of Charlie Chaplin, who ironically, was rumored to have Jewish origins.
It would be wrong to say this brand of ice-cream cones is popular across India, because it is not. But since the pictures started to appear on the internet, it’s sparked a real outrage, especially amongst the Germans.

How bizarre!
I think they're really going to hate the Mengele Popsicles.
