Authorities are scrutinizing a bar in Oviedo for alleged promotion of a 50-cent chupacabra deal.
Unbelievable Stunt Bar Under Scrutiny in Oviedo's Heart
Situated in the historic center of Oviedo, a buzzing venue has landed itself in hot water for offering cocktail shots at a dirt-cheap price of 50 cents, but with a wild catch - patrons are subjected to an escalating electric shock for ten seconds! Dubbed "the jolt," this peculiar practice has managed to attract the attention of the local authorities and social media alike, with footage of young individuals courageously, or foolishly, enduring the shock widely available.
Alcohol and Addiction: They Just Don't Get It
Some engage in this heart-pounding activity solo, while others form groups, turning their bodies into brave circuits for the electric current. According to José Ramón Prado, the local Councilor for Citizen Security, the pub's management plays down the severity of the shocks, regardless of their intensity.
