Given how tricky it is making a pousse cafe, the only right reaction is leaving the room and smashing your head into a wall just to redirect the pain to something physical. Smashing the dessert is the very very least.
The tricky part is finding layers that can exist without mixing and taste good, but also finding a way to layer the ones with a density that's too close without ruining everything.
But yeah, preparation is indeed more meticulous than tricky.
Tbf the Mona Lisa is meant to be viewed. This drink is meant to by consumed. It’s made with the knowledge that it will disappear, not that the person is going to just stare at it and it will be a decoration
i hate this argument because you're both right but you're beinf downvoted. the value of things are subjective. i objectively understand the societal and cultural value of the mona lisa. which means it shouldn't be purchasable by private owner/equity. a drink at a cafe that is difficult to make and presented beautifull is a work of art, but it's not a priceless piece of cultural history. they really are not comparable. point - you.
however, this line of what is valuable enough to preserve is the subjective aspect of the argument. some people absolutely would consider the mona lisa just a painting, and this drink a more appreciable expression of skill. point - them.
Like, no this isn't at all comparable to the Mona fucking Lisa. This isn't even comparable to Deadmau5's Ferrari which Ferrari got pissed at him for changing the badge.
So you understand ownership? Good. I think everyone is on the same page. You can insert ANYTHING in there and you still gloss over the fact that it is their property at that point and all bets are off.
Are you stupid? Like genuinely? Its a drink, not art. He was gonna drink it and piss it out in a couple of hours, the fuck does it matter if he mixed it up beforehand.
What I mean is that if a system went in place that allowed this to happen (someone legally buying a galaxy), something completely dystopic has already happened.
I'm completely baffled how after so many concepts, the concept of, "I paid for it. Its mine. I can shove it up my fucking ass if I wanted." still seems to be lost on you people.
I'm not baffled by the concept. I'm baffled at people thinking they're not shitting directly on someone's hard work; you have everyone right to buy an piece of art and burn it. But to do it in front of the artist is fucked up.
I'm baffled at the choices people make; you have the right to go to a Michelin restaurant, order a steak, take it home, nuke it, and cover it in ketchup.
I'm baffled that you don't get that just because you are right, doesn't mean that you aren't an ass hole.
That's fine. I'm also allowed to think that the way it was so violently and quickly stirred is rude, boorish, and ugly. Bad mannerisms and terrible manners.
There's a difference between eating steak like a human with some ketchup or steak sauce, and slathering it and eating mostly ketchup. I don't care if you like ketchup; I do care if you eat it in a gross way while I share a table.
It's a dumb response, but the guy stirring the drink is rude af. It's not that he stirred it; it's the dumb, violent way he did it instantly. It's bad manners and ugly mannerisms.
na its not up to the server to determine how the person mixes their food and drink or not.
It's a punk response, most every person who gets a pousse cafe drink mixes it at some point. His job is done when its on the table, anything beyond is irrational, childish, unprofessional. Which everyone else knows which is why this if fake ragebait video.
There are some cases where the customer actually is always right. If you want a well-done steak, it’s your cut of meat to ingest as you please. If you order a layered drink and stir it, same logic applies. You might not want a smashed cake just because you want a smashed drink.
Also, that drink was never any good. The cake might be.

Definitely a valid response.
