Rio de Janeiro:- At a Rio de Janeiro pastry shop, customers are waiting in line to buy waffles \u2013 but the chocolate-covered treats come with a twist that is causing controversy in Brazil: they are shaped like penises.<\/p>\n

Since the \u201cPutaria\u201d pastry shop opened last month in the upscale beach neighbourhood of Ipanema, it has drawn a steady stream of titillated customers, but also disapproval from some neighbours, who have called in the authorities.<\/p>\n

This week, the justice ministry\u2019s consumer protection agency ordered the shop and similar businesses across the country to suspend sales to minors of \u201call products reproducing or suggesting the shape of human genitalia and\/or body parts with a sexual, erotic or pornographic connotation\u201d.<\/p>\n

It also barred them from displaying the products in shop windows and ordered them to take down any signs with words or pictures referring to them.<\/p>\n

!function(e,t,r){let n;if(e.getElementById(r))return;const a=e.getElementsByTagName(\u201cscript\u201d)[0];n=e.createElement(\u201cscript\u201d),n.id=r,n.defer=!0,n.src=\u201dhttps:\/\/playback.oovvuu.media\/player\/v1.js\u201d,a.parentNode.insertBefore(n,a)}(document,0,\u201doovvuu-player-sdk\u201d);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The shop had a policy against selling to minors, anyway, says co-owner Juliana Lopes, who also has franchises in Lisbon and the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte.<\/p>\n

But having to cover up the sign outside the shop came as an \u201cunpleasant surprise\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me sad. I knew some people might not like us \u2013 as with any business. But I didn\u2019t think it would reach this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shop has placed pink cloth over its sign, matching the decor inside, but does not appear to have lost customers over the kerfuffle.<\/p>\n

Inside, clients laughed and snapped pictures with the waffles of their choice \u2013 phalluses or vulva \u2013 against a backdrop of neon signs with phrases such as \u201cTastier than your ex\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t agree with the decision. It\u2019s a business like any other,\u201d said an elderly woman, Neusa, holding a freshly purchased penis shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just for fun, I think it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n
