Kuwait Black Market spotted the Walls brand ice cream at Geant in 360 Mall. I remember someone telling me ages ago that Walls ice cream was banned in Kuwait because the Walls logo upside down read as “Allah” in Arabic. Kinda like those Nike Air shoes back in the 90’s that were also banned because the way “Air” was written also looked like “Allah”.
I guess the Walls thing was just an urban legend and now we can all enjoy our Magnum ice cream. [Link]

just confused of being banned!!
the “W” with love “Heart” for sure you will get this sign!
people who banned this, need to educate their mind!
It might not have been banned, I said it was probably an urban legend. You know.. stories you hear from people who heard it off their friends but actually isn’t true.
OMG these ice creams are legendary.
i think the logo of the ice cream is similar to the famous ice cream in the Philippines https://phfranchise.com/selecta-ice-cream-distributor/
I’ve enjoyed these in france many times, Double Caramel is my kryptonite!
interesting, if things with the name of “Allah” on them would give a reason to have something get banned, then they should start with the colorful stickers and pamphlets of the Wathakr center. You know, the place with the big Allah sign on Fahaheel road….
this is totally different, having Allah written on a wrapper that will eventually get discarded is different from having it on a pamphlet that can be kept in a clean place (a bookshelf). Who would gather ice-cream wrappers after eating the sweet frozen treat?
