In what might be the most unhinged story to come out of 2026 so far, cosplay models set up shop outside FanimeCon in San Jose, California, and started selling cups of “feet juice” — fruit juice that had their bare feet soaking in it.
And yes… it sold out almost immediately.
According to multiple videos and posts going viral from the unofficial “Parkon” event (a chaotic outdoor gathering that runs alongside FanimeCon), customers were lining up to pay $10 to $15 per cup for the foot-soaked beverage. Some even opted for the premium experience of drinking it straight as it dripped off the models’ feet.
One video shows a cosplayer dressed as Hatsune Miku standing in a bucket of juice while serving eager customers. The demand was so high that the entire stock was gone in under an hour.
While many online are calling it disgusting, bizarre, or the “lowest form of marketing,” the sellers clearly understood their audience. The product moved fast, proving once again that anime conventions operate on their own strange frequency where normal rules don’t apply.
Parasocial relationships, convention chaos, and the creator economy have officially reached their final form.
Would you drink the feet juice for $15?
