This Squid Game inspired cafe creates real challenges for customers

Oct 19 2021

You might have to travel a bit to get there, but this Squid Game inspired cafe is creating real life challenges for its customers. Cafe Strawberry opened in Indonesia, and fans of the dystopian Korean Netflix series have flocked to it to get both a taste for some delicious service but also a real life immersion into the top Netflix show of all time. The cafe is attempting to boost its pandemic recovery plan with the theme by giving games and challenges to all its customers, with staff all dressed as the masked guards armed with guns.

Upon arrival, customers are immediately greeted to a game of ‘Red Light, Green Light’ – minus the killing of course. Receiving over 200 customers a day, massively boosting the cafe’s post-pandemic sales. Such Squid Game themed shops and events aren’t popping up just in Indonesia either. The United Arab Emirates’ Korean Cultural Centre also put on an event inspired by the series. The craze the series created speaks volumes as to how popular it has become, despite it being on the darker and more psychological horror side.

Kanye West roams Europe wearing bizarre face masks

Oct 19 2021

Kanye West is quite known for bizarre acts and mind-blowing feats, but this one just takes the cake. The rapper, who, by the way is now legally named ‘Ye’, was spotted in Germany and Venice wearing Halloween-like face masks. Donning a pale, off-white, face covering, only West’s eyes, mouth and nose could be seen. Of course, he didn’t do this out of style as he still rocked Balenciaga x Crocs gumboots which are known to cost nearly $1,000.

The bizarre costume took social media by storm, with many commenting on just how absurd this all is. One said; ‘If you told me 10 years ago this was Kanye West – Tbh I’d probably believe you’, showcasing just how used to Kanye doing weird things we’ve become. Another pointed out how Kanye is ‘like one of the biggest rappers, designers, celebrities, people, billionaire and he’s just flying economy with a white face mask on.’

We aren’t sure as to why the rapper decided to don such an outfit. Did he do it to avoid paparazzi? If so, that really backfired. Or maybe its an art stunt… Either way, that’s Kanye for you.
