There is an urban legend stating that "Ich bin ein Berliner" can be wilfully mistaken to mean "I am a [[Berliner|donut]]", and that this mistake caused some ridicule among his audience. This is incorrect, since a Berliner is not known as such in Berlin, but as a ''Pfannkuchen''. It is also quite clear from recordings that the audience responded with cheering rather than laughter.
