https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_teapot

Due to the media attention, the kettle sold out at JCPenney's stores, with some later reappearing on eBay, priced as high as $199, much higher than the original retail price of $40.[3] The company also removed the billboard that sparked the initial heightened interest in the product,[5][6][7] and said that any resemblance of the kettle to Hitler was unintentional, stating in a tweet: "If we'd designed the kettle to look like something, we would've gone [with a] snowman".[8] The Hitler teapot has been cited as an example of pareidolia, a phenomenon in which individuals perceive meaningful images or patterns in otherwise random formations.[4][7]

I remember reading about this and it's still hilarious because I'm sure the teapots sell for a ton because of the rarity and renown.

I wouldn't have thought it looked like him if it weren't for this topic. The first thing I saw was a lightbulb.

Yes. It's wholesale intended for ice cream stores not for retail at a supermarket.

I cant imagine being such a lonely miserable fuck who has absolutely nothing better going on in their life than to look at a goddamn tea kettle and be like you know what? I feel like creating a controversy where none exists. Im gonna say that this looks like Hitler!
