Eat Free At Advertising-Supported Atlanta Restaurant
Author: Nick

Thanks to Financial Freedumb and the MBN Forums for pointing me to this story about a bread and tea restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia where everybody eats absolutely free. What’s the catch? Your meal at The Butter Trough is 100% supported by advertising you will see and hear during your visit.
This means that while you are enjoying your bread, butter, and tea you will softly hear advertisements playing in the background via the tabletop speakers, multipatron television sets, and the butter trough multimedia displays scattered throughout the establishment.
So as long as you’re not watching your carbs and you don’t mind making the trek to Georgia, you can get your fill of bread, butter, and tea and it won’t cost you a dime. If only I could eat a couple hundred dollars worth of bread to offset the cost of a plane ticket, I’d be there first thing in the morning!

I think this is a hoax. At least that’s what The Consumerist and its commenters decided:

NO WAYYYY this is true. 1st who would want to go eat and hear ads the entire time. 2 nd I could see bums coming in because they want free food but then the ads would be a waste because they can’t afford to buy anything.

Seems like a great idea to me, indeed provided that the owner knows how to avoid the place fills up with bums.

Wow! This has taken advertising to a whole new level and I must say that someone really took their time to think. This is good and especially for those people who are not exposed to so many of the things that are going on outside their houses. Everybody knows that free things attract people but nobody has ever thought of such a thing before and this is quite impressive. People who do not live in the city of Atlanta must be kicking themselves at this point and quite a number are promising themselves to visit The Butter Trough once they set foot in the city by now.

It seems the inevitable has happened: the site is down. So I guess the concept did not pay for itself.

I didn’t mean to imply that Punny Money readers are more likely to save a refund. In fact, Punny Money readers probably care more about their finances and adjust their W-4s to minimize or avoid a refund in the first place.
