Share a nice frosty, chocolate Allah with The King

I find it ridiculous that anybody truly got upset by it, but I am also very amused that an abstract drawing of an ice cream cone produced a result that looks like "Allah" when tipped on its side.

I'm a decade removed from my college Arabic classes but I would have still been able to recognize it if someone had pointed it out to me.

Ditto. I had never seen the Allah symbol before (that I can remember) and was stunned at the resemblance in the picture. But upon further examination of the ice cream cone, the picture really did look just like an ice cream cone. Life is funny.

I don't see how Burger King had any choice but to change it. I didn't even know BK sold ice cream cones.

I don't know if they do here (they used to sell frozen Snickers bars which was the only reason I ever went to Burger King) but this happened in the UK so their menu is probably different.
