KU KLUX KLAN

In 2011, an ice-cream shop in Ocala, Florida, had to get rid of a giant vanilla waffle cone that they had placed outside the shop to attract customers by waving at them.

Instead of increasing business, it had been found to lead to a drop in sales because people mistook the waving cone for a Ku Klux Klansman.
