JC Penney’s ‘Hitler’ Tea Kettle Sells Out but Finds a New Home on eBay
When Reddit users pointed out that a JC Penney billboard featured a tea kettle that resembled Adolf Hitler, the thought was that trouble was again brewing for the oft-bumbling retail giant.
“Came here to say that I saw Hitler before I saw the kettle,” wrote one Redditor.
“The Hitler looks like a kettle,” wrote another.
But the $40 kettle has sold out on JCPenney’s website. And now, with a social-media adjusted price point, the kettle is selling for $199 or best offer on eBay.
The booming kettle trade appears to have calmed the keepers of JC Penney’s Twitter feed, who last night were hurriedly answering accusations with tweets like: “If we had designed the teapot to look like something, we would have gone with a bunny tea kettle :)”.
