A customer is served at the "Putaria" pastry shop in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on June 2, 2022RIO DE JANEIRO: At a Rio de Janeiro pastry shop, customers are waiting in line to buy waffles -- but the chocolate-covered treats come with a twist that is causing controversy in Brazil: they are shaped like penises. Since the "Putaria" pastry shop opened last month in the upscale beach neighborhood of Ipanema, it has drawn a steady stream of titillated customers, but also disapproval from some neighbors, who have called in the authorities. But having to cover up the sign outside the shop came as an "unpleasant surprise," she told AFP. The shop has placed pink cloth over its sign -- matching the decor inside -- but does not appear to have lost customers over the kerfuffle. It's a business like any other," said an elderly woman, Neusa, holding a freshly purchased penis shape.
