Here’s my fun yet embarrassingly hilarious story about the Hurricanes and Bojangles.
The Carolina Hurricanes and Bojangles run a “Power Play” promotion. Whenever the Hurricanes score at least one power-play goal during a game, fans can get a free Bo-Berry Biscuit the next morning. All you have to do is walk in and proudly declare:
“I’m a Caniac, and I’m here for my free Bo-Berry Biscuit!”
Simple enough, right?
Well, the next morning, still riding high from some sweet power-play action the night before, I strutted into a participating Bojangles with all the confidence in the world and proudly announced:
“I’m a Caniac, and I’m here for my free Bo-Berry Biscuit!”
The entire restaurant came to a complete standstill.
I’m talking record-scratch, movie-scene levels of silence.
Every employee looked at me like I had just walked in speaking an ancient language. Not a single person had any idea what I was talking about. In fact, I’m pretty sure they thought I was trying to invent my own coupon on the spot.
I awkwardly tried explaining the promotion.
Then I explained it again.
Then I somehow found myself trying to convince the entire staff that I wasn’t running an elaborate Bo-Berry Biscuit scam.
Nothing was working.
After several painfully embarrassing minutes, they finally took pity on me and kindly placed a Bo-Berry Biscuit on my tray with that famous Southern hospitality. To this day, I still don’t know if they ever believed the promotion was real or if they simply wanted me to stop talking.
Either way, I got my biscuit.
And that was also the first and last time I have ever asked for that promotion in person. 🤣🏒
