10-8-2023 (TEL AVIV) Gordos, a popular restaurant in Holon, Israel, has recently stirred up significant attention on the internet with its latest dessert creation – chocolate ice cream served in a toilet-shaped bowl. The ice cream concoction introduced by Gordos resembles feces due to its unique presentation. While some may find it unappetizing, this unconventional dessert has surprisingly garnered considerable online interest. It remains unclear whether Gordos intentionally sought controversy or simply aimed for a touch of humor, as they named the dessert “Third House Shit.”
For those unfamiliar with Jewish traditions, the concept of the Third Temple holds significant religious importance, representing an imagined reconstruction of a temple in Jerusalem. However, the decision of the restaurant to name their dessert after this concept has been met with strong disapproval and anger from many individuals, who expressed their dissatisfaction in the comments. Netizens remarked, “Shocking. Lack of respect for the religion that constitutes over 50% of the country’s population” and “If you decide to scare everyone with such a twisted idea, you might be on the brink of bankruptcy.”
While the concept of serving ice cream in mini toilet bowls has been attempted previously, Gordos is the first restaurant to genuinely strive for a realistic effect, as their product undeniably appears repulsive in nature. Whether this daring move will have a positive or negative impact on the restaurant’s reputation and customer base remains to be seen.
