"In new things such as these, we find that the collision of positive and negative thinking no longer cancel each other out, but produce the power of '1+1>2'. This power stems from the visual and psychological contrast generated by the comparison with traditional thinking. For example, in the toilet restaurant, people find another way to look at the angle, as the French artist Duchamp said, give ordinary things a new role, people will feel good." Yang Jianfei, a professor at Communication University of China's Institute of Cultural Industry, said.
In the opinion of Xun Yan, a renowned national psychological counselor, "Poop Full House Dining Hall" also skillfully integrates instinctive psychological needs. "In ancient times, entire groups of people lived within the moral constraints of a 'superego', and people associated toilets with sex, making it a taboo subject. As social inclusion continues to expand, people are no longer mocked, reprimanded, or even punished for discarding parts of their 'superego' morality. At this point, the 'ego' begins to unleash powerful energies, and people boldly explore things that were once opaque, even non-mainstream, to please the ego. When this emotional release is projected into a specific creative idea, it will have a long-lasting vitality." Dr. Shi Zhanbiao of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences told reporters that when urbanites produce negative emotions because of the squeeze of work and life, sensory stimulation becomes an important way of projecting psychological energy. Alternative theme restaurants are now appearing in the capital to meet this demand. Taking "Poop Full House Dining Hall" as an example, it doesn't simply imitate the image of a toilet in a vulgar way, but makes the whole space look neat and bright through artistic cartoon packaging. According to the "interaction" theory of psychology, children usually observe the world with an appreciative eye, and what they see is the good side of things. This perspective will gradually depreciate in adulthood as "rationality grows", but still retains 15% to 20%, the so-called "child self". Therefore, when adults are in a playful environment, the mental space of the "child self" will be unusually active, helping to release the negative emotions accumulated over time. In Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province of China, there is a restaurant with the theme of toilet culture. The restaurant uses containers shaped like urinals to serve food, and even serves ice cream shaped like poop.
Diners sit comfortably on flush toilets and munch on the delicious food served in the containers. The cramped restaurant has 100 seats, all of which are made up of toilets, not chairs.
Sinks and "WC" signs distinguishing between male and female genders can be found throughout the restaurant's three floors. There are 12 toilet-themed restaurants on the island of Taiwan***. Customers eat from plastic, miniature toilet-shaped containers and wipe their hands and mouths with rolls of toilet paper hanging above the tables, which are bathtubs with glass lids. In Hangzhou, a restaurant has sprung up with the theme of "toilet". What is a "toilet" theme restaurant? Simply put, it is to sit in the toilet and eat disgusting-looking food. Although it looks disgusting, but the patronage of diners is really quite a lot.
The "toilet" theme restaurant in Hangzhou, the "Libra Archer toilet theme restaurant," is located on Zhoushan East Road.
The reason why the toilet-themed restaurant has become so popular is not only because it has a figurative toilet element to decorate the environment, but also because it has a very similar to the poop-like food and food containers that look like a commode.
The most controversial of the toilet-themed restaurants is the "poop" ice cream. The "toilet" themed restaurant in Hangzhou also introduced this raw ice cream at the beginning of its opening. The ice cream is served in a container shaped like a man's toilet and comes in a variety of flavors, just like regular ice cream. Among them, the chocolate ice cream is the most graphic, in terms of shape, color, and the grains of chocolate beans embedded in it. As long as a little imagination in the brain, eat this "a pile of" and other similarly shaped poop-like ice cream let a person chill hairs upside down. When Jin Xiang and his partners planned the theme of the "toilet" restaurant, they did not hesitate to look for a store around Zhoushan East Road. Not only consider this area of the store rent is cheaper, but also because they see the crowd of college students here. Jin Xiang said: "College students are open, curious and fashionable. This kind of alternative restaurant is easy to arouse their interest. Sure enough, more than half a month after the opening, 90 percent of the guests are nearby college students."
It is understood that there are more than a dozen toilet-themed restaurant chains on China's island of Taiwan alone, and several do open near universities. Yang Chun-chi, manager of the Shilin district branch in northern Taipei, said the "toilet" restaurants attracted many customers between the ages of 15 and 35, especially students from the three universities near the restaurants, because they "get excited easily".
The Hangzhou toilet-themed restaurant has been open for more than 10 days now, and Jin Xiang has summarized a phenomenon that makes him wonder: among the guests, there are more women and fewer men, and the ratio is very different. In addition to companion to the woman, couples are not a lot, that is, companion or alone to dine with the man is rare. Chongqing's first restaurant in the Guanyinqiao business district in Jiangbei quietly opened. In front of the store, a huge pink "poo" doll stands. Walking into this theme restaurant called "Poo", you will feel the combination of toilets and dining, subversion of tradition, humor and design concept is beyond the imagination of people.
The urinals are wall decorations in the form of wall lamps, chairs are flush toilets, tables are wash basins, and even the membership gifts are decorated with different shapes of poop, attracting many people to come here to try something new.
