Mystery ice cream design and God

Burger King is recalling its ice-cream cones that have a swirly design that offends some Muslims. The design on the lid apparently looks like the word ‘Allah’ in Arabic. One customer said the design was “sacreligious”. Burger King says, “As a result of feedback our supplier is amending the design.” The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We commend the sensitive and prompt action to prevent any hurt being caused to the religious sensibilities of others.”

  1. How ridiculous! I can't believe they actually listened to someone like that.

    Sadly, I can see the same reaction if I printed toilet paper with crosses on it or Bathing Towels with Hindu symbols on it.
