Two teenagers who peed into a pot of broth at a hotpot restaurant have been ordered to pay 2.2m yuan ($309,000; £227,000) to two catering companies in China.
The incident, which happened in February at a Shanghai branch of China’s biggest hotpot chain Haidilao, sparked widespread criticism after the 17-year-olds posted a video of their drunken act online.

Very expensive soup.
“But, Your Honor, we were only trying to provide the diners with a lower-sodium alternative to soy sauce. You know, for their health.”
This is how you do it right (or not): intensive farming = injections on fish
I’ll just leave this here.

Wtf did I just read…

My app shows this really small and I thought it was something being exploded.
They like the dong young in dongyang
Cream of Sum Yung Gai.
Yeah, I was thinking, depending on the kind of hotpot that’s not an out-of-order ingredient. Clearly, even in China that’s a weird and challenging local delicacy, though, so these teenagers got uber-fined.
What a terrible day to have eyes
Fine might be a better word option here instead of pay. I was reading this title and wondering to myself, why would someone pay so much to pee in soup.
It wasn't a fine though. They were ordered to pay the catering companies for damages and lost revenue, doesn't say anything about a fine.
If you read my second sentence you’ll see it was just more about my humorous interpretation of the title that was written.
Damn, two months of pocket money down the drain.
Why though? Do they not replace the broth between customers? The teens would have been the only ones using it.
In China they often reuse it.
There’s also something called gutter oil.
I saw in a documentary that the government actually buys gutter oil for more than they could sell it elsewhere 5o curb it being used in actual food…
The cook… This is not semen! I asked for semen!
Where can we see the video?
Maybe a couple of organ donations to Pooh Bear might pay it off.
After all that pee pee in your coke, they can’t just take a joke in China.
I salute your high context joke. My wife didn’t get it but I thought it was hilarious. Looking forward to the next time there is an incident involving fudge or lemonade.
Unfortunately, I think the joke is going over most people’s heads. Which is ironic because I learned the song in kindergarten.
Separate dishes, century eggs don’t involve urine.
Wrong country, I guess… Trump would have given a huge tip for that.
This brought back a memory: two kids put laxatives in the school food at my school in 2004, same day that halo 2 was released and I had pre-booked it so I skipped lunch that day to go get it. A few students and I think two teachers who were the first to get to the cafeteria had already gotten toiled bound by the time I got back. And I think only three kids actually shat themselves. They cancelled school for the rest of the day and I was one of the few students in my age group who hadn’t eaten there so I just went home and had such a good time playing the game and laughing my ass off about the whole situation.
Hmmm, yes, what a coincidence.
The statute of limitations is up on that one, you can own up to it now
They won’t pay. They will be asked. But that’s not happening.
So when they caught those employees peeing in the Tsingtao vats, how much did they fine them?
