Description: This vintage tank is from the famous restaurant chain Hooters and it features their owl mascot, along with the tag line, "delightfully tacky yet unrefined". Hooters was established in the early 80s, and the franchise helped to popularize what's been dubbed, "breastarants", establishments that rely on young, attractive waitresses in form fitting uniforms to sell their food. While the wait staff is composed of the alluring Hooters Girls, the chain does offer both men and women employment opportunities in other roles like cooks, hosts, busboys, and managers. While Hooters has gotten a lot of flack and criticism over the years, the restaurant has remained an undeniable mainstay that's often parodied in pop culture.
