A few years ago, Hooters promised that the employee who sold the most beer over a period of time would receive a free Toyota. The winner would be announced on April 1, which should have aroused suspicion.

The waitress who won the contest was blindfolded and led out into the parking lot to see her prize. When the blindfold was removed, she saw that what she had won was not a car but a doll of Yoda, a character in the movie Star Wars II.

This was supposed to be an April Fool prank, but the victim didn’t think it was funny. She quit, sued Hooters and won a settlement said to be enough to buy a real Toyota. And the joke was on Hooters, which took flak from the public over the stupid prank and lost a chunk of change as well as a good beer seller.

You must have been out with an exceptionally handsome guy. Congrats. Or maybe it wasn’t he she was after.

“grouper...REALLY”

Oh yes the big fish on campus at the FSU Hooters location was always grouper and fine eating.

You could find grouper at pretty much any Florida location and Houston as well.

Hooters is famous for chicken wings...

Yes. When I was much younger, my buddies and I went there for the chicken wings. 🙃
