There is a seeming
ground swell of interest in things that
are trivial. Of course, being as I'm
the reigning expert of Fudpucker minutiae,
I have been besieged with countless
questions covering a wide assortment
of mundane facts about Fudpucker's.
So, given how much interest there seems
to be in the matter, I challenge you
trivia-philes with some of these questions
below. Good luck!
What
is the most commonly asked thing at
Fudpucker's?
a. "Can I park my car in the front pond?"
b. "How
do you get to the bathroom?"
c. "Can I play my trumpet before dinner is served?"
If you answered "b", you'd be correct. If you answered "a", you were probably that guy back in 1990 who turned left when you should have turned right. If you answered "c", you're probably Father Fud, who used to take great delight in serenading the dining rooms with his rendition of Amazing Grace before he would eat his salad (unfortunately, the trumpet was "misplaced" in 1991).
How
many people own a Fudpucker's Beachside
Bar & Grill t-shirt?
a. Nine
Hundred and seventy five
b. Two
zillion, nine hundred and seventy
five
c. A whole
lot
If
you answered b, you'd be
correct. If you answered a,
you were probably cheating and didn't
see all of the zeroes before the '965'
for the correct answer. If you answered
c, you were technically
correct, but b is a little
more correct.
What
is the official symbol of Fudpucker's?
a. An Owl
b. A Cartoon
Pelican
c. A Trigger
Fish
If
you answered b, you'd be
correct. If you answered a,
you're thinking of a different place.
If you answered c, you are
thinking of Fudpucker's namesake, but
that's different from its symbol. I
don't know why. It just is.
How
many Fudpucker's Beachside Bar &
Grills are there in the world?
a. Two
b. Three
c. Ninety
Seven
If
you answered a, you'd be
correct; there's one in Destin, Florida
and one in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida.
If you answered b, you'd
have been correct back in 2000 when
Fudpucker's briefly opened a third place
in Seagrove Beach, Florida. If you answered
c, you're thinking of a
chain of restaurants with a name that
sounds sort of like 'Fud-pucker's',
but is nothing in appearance or experience
like the two Fudpucker Beachside Bar
& Grills in Destin and Ft. Walton
Beach, Florida.
What
is Fudpucker's world famous slogan?
a. "Reach
out and touch someone"
b. "Just
do it"
c. "Ya
ain't been pucked till ya been
fudpucked"
If
you answered c, you'd be
correct. If you answered a
or b, you watch too much
t.v.
Who
is the founder and chief big-daddy
of Fudpucker's Beachside Bar & Grill?
a. Cap'n
Fud
b. Father
Fud
c. Mother
Fudder
If
you answered b, you'd be
correct; Father Fud, aka Chester Kroeger,
founded Fudpucker's in 1982. If you
answered a, you'd have been
correct had the question been, who
is the biggest know-it-all at Fudpucker's.
If you answered c, you must
have just used the bathroom (Mother
Fudder is the name for Fudpucker's ladies
rooms).
When
did Father Fud found Fudpucker's?
a. July,
1776
b. April,
1982
c. October,
1492
If
you answered b, you'd be
correct; as mentioned above, Father
Fud, aka Chester Kroeger, founded Fudpucker's
in 1982. If you answered a,
you were thinking of our founding fathers,
so you were kind of close (you got a
lot of the same words). If you answered
c, you were thinking of
Christopher Columbus, who never actually
found Fudpucker's, but did manage to
discover America (not a bad second choice).
