Summary
A restaurant’s attempt to capitalize on the “girl dinner” trend has gone viral for the wrong reasons. The menu features a “girl dinner” consisting of caviar, Caesar salad, and spicy vodka pasta, while the “boy dinner” includes charred pepperoni, a hot dog, and a shot. The “girl dinner” costs $25, while the “boy dinner” costs $20, leading one customer to accuse the restaurant of perpetuating the “pink tax”.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name. “Girl dinner” and “boy dinner” are now menu items, because why not? A restaurant tries to cash in on the trend, but ends up getting called out for a pricey “girl dinner” that is somehow more expensive than the “boy dinner”. Because, of course, caviar and vodka pasta are worth more than a hot dog and a shot. One customer’s TikTok video pointing out the price difference has sparked a debate about the “pink tax” and whether this is just a case of different meals having different prices.
Original observation: Because nothing says “feminism” like paying more for a salad.
