Tweet of the Day, “Is There REALLY No Such Thing As Bad Publicity?” edition.

“I don’t know, Sparky! Let’s find out.”

God help me, I looked up the URL. “Toronto’s First Toilet Themed Dessert Bar.” Apparently this restaurant concept is a minor thing in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. …Of course it is. I am utterly free from surprise at learning this. Really, if you had asked me “Quick, Moe: which country brought us toilet-themed restaurants?” I would have named one of the three countries on that list.

PS: I refuse to apologize for reacting with bemused horror to a restaurant theme that is almost literally the antithesis of food.  There are limits. I am comfortable with having this one.

  1. If poop is not the literal antithesis of food, I would like to hear what you think is. 🙂 Rock, maybe?

    Also, Japan is a natural go to for these things. You notice that the game Germany or Florida is popular? Notice no one ever does Japan or X? It would be too easy.

    1. Rocks come to mind .. various metals .. Wood.
      .
      Poop is .. simply *post*-food.

      1. I remember dimly an episode of “That’s Incredible!” where a guy ate a bicycle.

      2. Wood wouldn’t work: it’s food to some species. Rocks and metals would be more what I had in mind as literal antitheses, yeah.

    2. Indeed, poop seems the part of food that the body examines and say’s “Nope. Not actually food.”

      1. Well, actually, certain herbivores don’t fully extract all the nutrition from their food on the first pass through. So, yeah, it can be food. Not to mention, my friend’s dogs seem to think feral cat poop is the greatest thing ever.

  4. The girls at Questionable Content‘s “Coffee of Doom” would be envious of the name.
