Japan recently became home to a 'Ted'-themed cafe that is based around the film's iconic foul-mouthed bear. While the movie Ted and it's squeal have been out for some time now, this newly opened cafe gives fans a new way to enjoy the series' crass humor.
The Ted Cafe & Bar is located in Tokyo's Shibuya District and it caters to the legions of Japanese fans who love the foul-mouthed teddy bear named Ted. At the cafe, dinners can enjoy tasty Ted-inspired fare such as the R18 Dry Curry, the Ted Face Pizza and the Tequila Gordon Sunrise. Not only are the dishes named after lines and imagery from the film, but they are even formed into the shape of Ted himself.
The Ted-themed cafe demonstrates how even more adult-centric films can be turned into family friendly experiences.
