\"Free<\/p>\n

\"FreeWhat’ s the secret of acquiring(\u83b7\u5f97)<\/strong> the free meal pass(\u514d\u5355)<\/strong>? Well it’ s up to your facial appearance(\u5bb9\u8c8c)<\/strong> and how “perfect”(\u5b8c\u7f8e)<\/strong> you look compared to(\u4e0e…\u76f8\u6bd4)<\/strong> the other applicants(\u7533\u8bf7\u4eba)<\/strong> that day.<\/p>\n

People from a local plastic surgery hospital(\u6574\u5f62\u533b\u9662)<\/strong> will examine(\u5206\u6790)<\/strong> your photos and give<\/strong> everyone a score(\u7ed9…\u6253\u5206).<\/strong> Each day at closing time, they will offer 50 free meals to their top 50 beauties.<\/p>\n

Is this a good promotion(\u4fc3\u9500)<\/strong> for the restaurant?  Maybe so, and probably for the plastic surgery hospital as well, which could take the opportunity(\u6293\u4f4f\u673a\u4f1a)<\/strong> to cash in(\u4ece\u4e2d\u725f\u5229)<\/strong> on people who did not win the free lunch because they weren’t“pretty enough.”<\/p>\n
