Quirky World ... Supermarket ‘sorry’ for Hitler coffee creamer

SWISS CHAIN SORRY FOR ‘UNFORGIVABLE’ PACKAGING

SWITZERLAND: A leading Swiss supermarket chain is apologising for what it calls an “unforgivable blunder” — distributing mini-containers of coffee cream bearing portraits of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Migros, which also sells electronics and household goods, said it was immediately withdrawing boxes containing hundreds of the coffee cream containers and was breaking all ties with Karo-Versand, the small Swiss company that designed the collectible series of 55 different motifs — including likenesses of the German and Italian fascist dictators.
