  • 7 years ago
A Washington D.C. restaurant is facing backlash after their new drink, the 'Pill Cosby,' went viral, leading to its removal from their menu. The restaurant, Diet Starts Monday, said that the drink was intended raise awareness for drugging in bars but plays on Bill Cosby and the claim that he drugged women without their knowing. However, their idea backfired and led to many Twitter users saying the the drink "perpetuates rape culture." "This drink was not made with any intent to offend anyone, especially not victims of rape. We take full responsibility."
