We don’t want your money. Just your kisses.” This story from Consumeristย is totes not made up:

If youโ€™re at a French cafe in Sydney, Australia, you can ditch your wallet and just pay for your coffee with a kiss.ย Before you start screaming about trading goods and services for the pleasures of the flesh letโ€™s be clear โ€” youโ€™re not smooching a barista, youโ€™re just making out with your significant other in front of employees.

So that makes it okay, right? Thatโ€™s a call you and your tongue-wrestling partner have to make, but in any case, itโ€™s a novel idea. All couples are eligible for the kissy-kissy time, a promo that is only valid between 9 and 11 a.m. through June.

You know, we heard from our friends in Melbourne that Sydney could be a bit weird. It gets even weirder:

The only rules are that your server will know if youโ€™re faking those loving feelings โ€” โ€œWeโ€™ll watch you,โ€ says the adorable floppy-haired Frenchman in the cafeโ€™s YouTube video.ย ย โ€It has to be a real kiss, I can see if itโ€™s a fake kiss.โ€
