Ice cream cups cash in on Toilet Bowl restaurant craze
Dan Bloom says: "You've read about the toilet-bowl theme restaurant in southern Taiwan,
reported widely around the world by the news services a few weeks ago.
"The restaurant was so popular among Taiwanese diners, young and old, that the owners opened up a second joint in what they hope will become an islandwide chain, with some franchises eventually in Hong Kong and Japan. Los Angeles or New York? Never!
"Now comes eyewitness news of a small operation in one of south Taiwan's night
markets in Chiayi City, where a pretty woman runs a "squat toilet cup
ice cream" dispenser on one of the main shopping streets in town. Passersby
have their choice of chocolate or vanilla soft ice cream that is
dispensed into light-green squat toilet-shaped plastic cups, seen
here, all for a
very affordable NT$25, which comes to about 75 cents in American money."
