Thanks, but I'll pass: Rat-infested pop-up bar to open in San Francisco [bold added]

The pop-up is a ticketed event at $49.99 per person. Included in the purchase is a 60-minute live interactive show focused on the “the weird, twisted dark side” of San Francisco’s history, according to a press release. After the show, patrons will have 30 minutes to spend touching and picking up the rats before heading to an upstairs cash bar that will serve drinks like the Ama-RAT-O Sour, which is a riff on an amaretto sour, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Comments:
1) There are markets in everything.
2) Novelty might make it successful....for one time and one place.
3) Assuming the Health Dept okays "clean" rats, how would it know if a "dirty" rat sneaks in?
