A confectioner has put face masks on chocolate Santas

using marzipan and white icing

(SOUNDBITE) (Hungarian) CONFECTIONER LASZLO RIMOCZI SAYING: "In my view, by the time Santa comes he will have to wear a mask because Santa has to show a good example for people and it sends a positive message for children especially. For children, this is normal. But the older generations find it morbid."

Online orders have surged

And Rimoczi now produces 100 Santas a day.
