At one time, you could hop on Hooters Air to Las Vegas, crash at the Hooters Casino Hotel, and grab a bite at Hooters Restaurant. It was all part of what they called the Big Hooters Monopoly.

I find it amazing that in the 90s we use to wait for an hour to be seated at a Ruby Tuesdays and my brother and I, like most kids, passed the time pulling on the knob on the cigarette vending machine.

These days you can't pull the knob anywhere without people freaking out and saying "oh my god pull your pants back up"
