I like the idea, but is it a scam?
No restaurant would let you replace their bowls with ones that stop customers from ordering a dish from their menu.
hmm.. I doubt any restaurant would risk putting customers off their food with something like this. Sorry Grey. Next scam please.
great idea
simply the great
So... you spend lots of money ordering shark's fin soup, then you get this bowl of vinegar, then when your soup arrives, you are supposed to refuse it? hmm......
brilliant i say. There isnt a better way to show this
if the restaurant is selling this soup, why should they force their customer to not buying it.
and if you are in a restaurant, where you can't order this soup, these customers are not
the target, because they'll probably don't eat it.

I think it's a good idea with a good implementation. It makes people think twice before ordering this dish in the future. And yes, it might mean some financial losses for the restaurant, but it's much more efficient than actually not serving the dish anymore.
Indeed where did they do this... If the restaurant is so much against the practice that they would do this, why would they serve shark fin soup in the first place
hmmm... seems this is better placed on the table for whole day.... whatever people will order the shark fin soup or not....
anyway... but it's good to remind people the horrible fact, especially in chinese society...
indblowing idea for creating awareness... well done.
it works... so well done!
Tough subject and this cuts directly to it. Really like the execution.

Perhaps they went to restaurants and convinced them to not serve the soup, or popular restaurants who no longer serve soup, but are often asked by customers if it is on the menu. Or a deal with restaurants who cater to big companies (or could benefit). Especially if there was an upsurge in traffic because people wanted to see these ads at work.
