In an effort to appeal to customers in a tough Japanese economy, Tokyo's Otasuke pub introduced a rather bizarre, but rather self-explanatory discount program for its patrons: the balding discount.
The odd promotion aims to support fathers who are losing their hair as a result of working hard and stress, offering discounted meals for each bald member in your party. Otasuke reportedly also offers some kind of super discount for a party of six bald diners.
To make things even quirkier, Otasuke is also working to add items inspired by baldness to its menu and one of the ideas in the works is a hard boiled egg with a sparse sprinkling of seaweed on top to resemble a combover.
