Remember when you fell in love with Edward Cullen in the vampire series, Twilight? Said no one above the age of 12, ever.
Well, maybe not no one – looks like the vampire craze isn’t just for tween’s anymore.
Chinese locals have been lining up to purchase bags of “blood,” in a vampire-themed cafe in Liaoning, China. According to the New York Post, “blood” beverages include red wine, cherry cola and blackcurrant flavored juices that come in pouches. In order to make it look “authentic,” they’ve even labeled the pouches “Blood Type Energy Supply.”
The manager of the cafe, Hsin Hsia, told the Post, “The Vampire Diaries are enormously popular here now and with all the interest in everything to do with vampires, we felt this was something that would really catch on.”
Inspired by the hit TV show, as well as HBO’s True Blood, the cafe even designed its interiors to resemble a cellar and added coffins to make it extra authentic. There’s also a series of books about vampires you can read to get you in the mood.
Hsin remains realistic about who they’re catering to, however, and admits that most of their customers are mostly younger in age. “We don’t get many older customers; they think it’s weird when they realize everything we have to drink is only available in blood bags,” he said.
