On April 1, 2001, Hooters held a beer sales contest for its employees, offering a Toyota as the grand prize. One employee, Jodee Berry, excelled in sales and won the contest. However, instead of receiving a car, she was given a toy Yoda with a note claiming the contest was an April Fools’ joke.
Berry sued Gulf Coast Wings, Inc., Hooters’ corporate owner, for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. In 2002, Berry and the company reached a settlement, with Berry receiving an undisclosed amount of money. Her attorney, David Noll, stated that the settlement would allow Berry to purchase any Toyota she desired.
