A short TikTok from Rachel Lately, filmed at a restaurant counter, shows an employee handing her a drink. The whole clip lasts about six seconds and has picked up more than 17,000 views.
The order is a Mexican martini. On-screen text reads “imagine ordering a Mexican martini and they hand you this”. The creator then holds up a pale yellow cocktail in a short, clear plastic cup. It has a red seasoned rim and a small pick, making the plastic cup stand out even more. The caption says “not the sad plastic cup”. She doesn’t complain to the employee or say anything about the drink in the clip.
