MOTHER TERESA (Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, 1910-97)

In 1997, Bob Bernstein, owner of the Bongo Java coffee shop in Nashville, was asked by Mother Teresa's lawyers to stop selling a cinnamon bun bearing her likeness.

Mr Bernstein immediately dropped Mother Teresa's name from his 'nun bun' and offered 15 per cent of the profits to her Sisters of Mercy charities.
