The Mystery Café

What a peculiar idea. There used to be a café in Japan (the Ogori Café, now closed), where the rule was simple - you get what the person before you ordered. The next person gets what you ordered.

It's a fun social experiment. The point seems to be to introduce surprise into an ordinary day and encourage strangers to interact with one another. I like it. It's like 'pay-it-forward', but in this case 'feed-it-forward'.
