Happy Minute (similar to “happy hour”)
Many bars and restaurants have a “happy hour.” Some people have suggested a “happy munute.”
“Happy minute should replace hour” was published by the BBC on March 7, 2012. A jocular blackboard sign was shown on 9GAG on November 8, 2012:
HAPPY MINUTE
All Drinks
1/2 Price
2:59-3 pm

Wikipedia: Happy hour
Happy hour is a marketing term for a time when a venue such as a restaurant or bar offers reduced prices on alcoholic drinks. Discounted menu items like appetizers are often served during happy hour. This is a way for bars and restaurants to draw in more business before or after peak business hours.

60 SECOND IDEA | FOOD
Happy minute should replace hour
(...)
This week, American biologist Stuart Firestein says that instead of a happy hour, we should just have a happy minute.
(...)
“But the pure idea of a happy hour is certainly not a bad one. So I would like to suggest instead of a happy hour – that is too long. Too much of a commitment and certainly too dangerous, we just have a happy minute after work you get a shot of your favourite alcoholic beverage in a toast with your co-workers.
“You are done in a minute whilst wishing them a good night and congratulating them on what a good job they have made of it today and then go off to home or whatever plans you have for the evening happier less tense and renewed.”
