More booze for bigger boobs
THE bigger your chest, the more free drinks you will get.
That’s the cheeky gimmick that a diner-cum-bar in Singapore has come up with for its latest event "Fill My Cups".
A modest set of A-cups (bra size) gets one free drink; B-cups get two, C-cups get three, and D-cups get a free bottle of vodka.
While some women think it’s a novel marketing strategy, others insist they would not support it, reports Singapore's The New Paper
The nightspot came up with the gimmick because its guest deejay goes by the moniker of DJ DCUP.
"It was really a play on the guest DJ’s name. When we heard that it was DCUP, we decided to give the event an added spin," said Cheryl Ho, spokesperson for the outlet.
But how would it know for sure what cup size each woman is?
There would be two ‘mystery’ judges at the event - Dave, a musician, and Karen, a lawyer - who would simply guess-timate the women’s bra cup sizes.
The stunt had some women in stitches while others raised eyebrows.
One student who wanted to be known only as Yvonne, 19, felt that she would be denigrating herself if she attended such an event.
She thought the concept was funny but she was not tempted by the prospect of having three free drinks, adding that she was a C-cup.
Student Lek Ning, 20, who considers herself a C-cup, said that she found the event hilarious.
She did not think it would be ‘embarrassing’ to be judged visually on her bra cup size.
"After all, I’m rather proud of my assets," she said.
President of the Association of Women for Action and Research, Dana Lam, considered the event "demeaning".
"I’d laugh at the silliness (of this event) if I didn’t know better. Women should think twice before popping themselves in there," she said.
In response, Ho admitted that the company was concerned that some people might find the event offensive.
She said: "Our stance is that it’s all good fun, not sexist, not sleazy. No girls are going to get touched and we are not asking them to flash themselves."
She added that the outlet had not received any complaints so far.
