The cafe Metro St James, which opened in Sydney, Australia, offers a free cup of coffee after a kiss.

Free coffee when you kiss

In this campaign, when a couple visits a cafe, they can get free coffee by kissing in the store. The relationship between the couple does not matter, but the kiss must be a "real kiss." The clerk at the cafe is a self-proclaimed "kiss specialist," and he says he can instantly see "fake kisses."

A cafe clerk who calls himself a "kiss specialist", not Mr. Yo Oizumi, a talent from Hokkaido (I think)

As far as the reaction of this campaign and the internet is concerned, it seems that it is more talked about overseas than in Australia. The following comments have been sent to the media site that introduces the campaign.

・ I read about this store in a Dutch newspaper. I'm going to Sydney at the end of the year, so I'll visit with my wife at that time. Great campaign.
・ This campaign should continue in the future. Then it will spread to the world.


Comments from within Australia have been praised, but there are many questions.

・ I'm still a teenager, but is there an age limit?
・ Will coffee be free even for couples of men?


Some men are making a mistake.

・ I think it's a good idea. However, I would be even more happy if you could choose someone to kiss. For a single man like me.

The campaign will run until June 30, 2013 and will run from 9am to 11am.
