No undie Sunday!

An Australian bar promises free drinks to anyone willing to hand her panties to the bartender.

How does this make sense?

This seems like an incredibly stupid idea, for the patrons. All but the cheapest of ladies' undergarments I've seen (in my limited experience) cost more than a drink. Who would trade $10 undies for a $5 beverage?

never worked in marketin g?

They managed to get into the paper.

Seriously - how many women do you think will really take up the offer? Compare the cost of those drinks to the absurd amount of free publicity they are getting (of which you just delivered your share).

Any questions?

Look out

For the seagulls. Someone's bound to lose an eye.

I don't see the point...

Because if you’re that quick to take off your undies you don’t have to worry about paying for drinks in the first place ;)

@ Big Cheese

Brilliant! The bar could do "Tightey-Whitey Thursdays"!

Free drinks for your jockey-shorts (although I think the ladies would abscond to another pub upon first sight of skid marks, LMAO...)

Ahhh, there are few things in our lives more deserving of ridicule than tightey-whiteys - whether they be men's underwear, OR Bill O'Reilly and Newt Gingrich.

I don't know about the state of your underpants, but I can't imagine that standing at a bar with a line of used panties dangling above my head would make me, at least, feel like having a beer.

obviously you are not a horny guy.

I think it's fine...

... as long as men have the same option. (ie. free drinks for shedding their undies)

sooo

if my grandmother wanted to get drunk for free...

Australian dollars?

Are those like Disney Dollars?

Take advantage

Wear multiple pairs of underwear. Then you get the free drinks and don't expose yourself. Plus the outermost layer would be cleaner.

which era, exactly, was marked by women trading their underclothes in exchange for free alcohol

The 70s. Duh!
