Human Blood Cocktail: Technology's Weirdest Events

In Japan, a recent trend has been the emergence of "blood cocktails," which are alcoholic drinks made with a combination of human blood.

Typically, the drinks are made with a combination of human blood, vodka, and other ingredients such as fruit juice or spices, where the drinks are said to have a unique flavour and are often served in bars and clubs.

Indeed, Japan is a place of unusual things and, this time around, another surprising thing has happened; a waitress used real human blood in a cocktail.

The power of technology has exposed an otherwise cultist ritual as the human blood-contained cocktail in Japan went viral.

The cafe, called Mondaiji Con Cafe Daku, has a concept where they hire waiters who wear dark and gothic make-up, but it looks like they took the theme a bit forward. 

The waiter reportedly mixed his own blood in the drink at the request of a customer.

The cafe said the waiter's move was "absolutely unacceptable" and announced that it would be closed for a day as they were going to change their drinking glasses.

He added that the waiter's actions "are no different from part-time job terrorism in Japan.

Cases of people becoming infected by drinking someone else's blood are rare but serious diseases can be transmitted through blood, including HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and syphilis.

If there are sores in the mouth, it is easy to be transmitted through blood.
