Markets in everything, Ukrainian restaurant edition
Perhaps taking a page from the Pringles inventor who was recently buried in a can of said dehydrated chips, a Ukrainian restaurant is shaped like a coffin on the outside, and boasts a coffin theme inside.
Here is a photo and further explanation. Many or perhaps all of the entries have themes of death. Perhaps they should do an economic impact study:
The undertakers hope that their restaurant will be confirmed as the world’s biggest coffin, attracting tourists to a region best known for its mineral-rich bathing waters.
Here are even more photos of interest.

What I find objectionable is that the coffins inside are wrapped in plastic.
Perhaps they are selling them, and customers do not want scratches and dents on their caskets.

There's a JB Say joke here somewhere.

I heard an NPR story about the Pringles guy, and to clarify, he invented the can but not the Pringle chip itself.

If you're ever in Brussels, take a visit to Le Cercueil. Similar concept - they have coffins for tables, coffins on the walls and ceilings and the beer is served out of skulls.

Isn't this the theory of the Eifel Tower, albeit phallic instead of coffin shaped? Whatever the reasoning, it worked.

A person on her own luggage, leaving the noise of the city, into the 花蓮民宿 arms. To savor the refreshing nature of the original. In Taiwan, as long as a departure from the flow of downtown, everywhere in the garden-like 宜蘭民宿 you, they like their own home Like a warm and comfortable. Taiwan's Lodge 室內設計, the two luxury five-star hotel suite as if the presidential suite general Wah. It is there away.
