Pubs and clubs make distinct arrangements every year to attract consumers and invite guests to attend grand parties and join the crowd for celebrations. To invite people to a New Year’s Eve party, a pub in Pune allegedly sent invitations with packets of condoms and Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). This unusual step by the concerned pub sparked controversy and received backlash.
Pune Pub Sent Packets Of Condoms & ORS With New Year’s Eve Party Invites
High Spirits Cafe is responsible for these objectionable invitations. The pub located in Pune’s Mundhwa grabbed attention and became the talk of the town after sending condoms and ORS with invites. Soon, it started enraging people, facing criticism from the masses. Netizens began ranting about the place too. Within a day, the pub’s unusual invitation attempt landed itself in a controversy.
Sudden outrage about the place led to the local police stepping in and recording statements from people who received the invites for the New Year’s Eve party. Following a major controversy and backlash from many people, High Spirits Cafe called off the party slated to be hosted on December 31, 2024.
We have seen many restaurants, cafes, and pubs advertising uniquely to garner everyone’s attention, especially during peak party seasons such as New Year’s Eve. While we mostly see places offering discounts and deals to attract visitors, this pub’s invitation surprised most people. High Spirits Cafe spoke about the unfortunate incident and stated that distributing condoms is not a crime. According to a report by The Free Press Journal, they took this step to create awareness. In addition, the pub also provides condoms and sanitary napkins to guests in an attempt to enhance awareness.
Condoms Were Sent To 40 People
Mundhwa police station’s Senior Police Inspector Nilkanth Jagtap shared that High Spirits Cafe invited invitees to the party with an advisory. The advisory stated everyone to stay hydrated, wear helmets, and avoid drinking and driving.
The management sent helmets and goody bags to about 40 invitees who are regular visitors here. These bags contained condoms and ORS.
