A San Francisco area doughnut shop that features menu items like the “bipolar” and the “psycho” has mental health advocates scratching their heads.
Psycho Donuts opened in March and takes its crazy theme to the limit. Customers can sit in a padded booth or in the group therapy area. The shop also has a straightjacket.
The owners say they were just looking to do something different to make their doughnuts stand out in a recession. But mental health advocates argue that the theme perpetuates unfair stereotypes, reports NBC Bay Area.
I think we need to give credit to their creativity! We can all use donut therapy now and then.
In an era when we’re trying to increase mental health awareness, this probably isn’t the way to do it. The theme conjures up images from Ramones songs, but those were 30+ years ago. BTW…it’s spelled “straitjacket”
Maybe he can do some aids pie, cancer twists, cinnamon coated wheelchair wheels. Will that make it easier to see it’s appalling?
