A man decided to order chicken tenders while eating at Longhorn Steakhouse with his family. Their server pulled a subtle prank on him by bringing him a Bluey sticker with his to-go box.
In a video with over 1.7 million views, TikToker Carly (@not_icarly_) shows her dad with his plate for chicken tenders and fries.
Then, she adds another clip of him scraping the left overs into a to-go box with a small Bluey sticker, a character from a popular children’s cartoon. The sticker seemingly pokes fun at the “immature” order.
On-screen text reads, “My dad ordered chicken fingers at Longhorn and the waitress brought him a bluey sticker.” The caption continues, “Never seen him order chicken tenders in his life.”
Should You Order Chicken Fingers As An Adult?
Customers should feel comfortable ordering whatever they want on the menu. But some adult chicken finger fans on the r/nostupidquestions worry that they’re too old for their go-to order. Commenters debated whether there’s an upper-age limit for the popular kids’ menu item.
“Your wife and kids will care. Your in laws will care. It sucks ass having people over who can’t eat anything but chickies. Preference sure but be able to eat other stuff,” a commenter remarked.
A food service worker chimed in, writing, “As someone who works in food, I can guarantee we don’t care what you order, as long as A) it’s not completely batshit insane, and B) you don’t make a massive deal about it.”
Some suggested it depends on the restaurant.
“Why would anyone care what you eat?” one wrote. “I mean. If you go to le cirque and order off the kiddie menu. Ok. That’s weird. But otherwise. Eat what you want.”
Another said, “I think it depends on the situation. Is this a casual lunch with friends or are you ordering this at a nice restaurant? Are you by yourself or are you on a date? Is this a business meeting? You should assess each situation.”
Viewers Defend His Longhorn Steakhouse Order
Commenters on the viral video sais they also love Longhorn Steakhouse‘s chicken fingers, suggesting that there’s nothing to poke fun at.
“Chicken tenders are lowkey one of the best dishes on the Longhorn menu, they’re hand-breaded,” a viewer pointed out.
Another said, “Bruh chicken tenders always hit no matter how old you get.”
“Sometimes you just need some chicken tendies,” a third remarked.
Others cracked jokes about his order.
“Ordered chicken tenders and aint even finish em. he really a kid,” a commenter wrote.
