This was the experience of a Texas Roadhouse customer who claimed he was going to beat 100 Famous Rolls until he learned something important from the server.
A video recording of this interaction comes from creator Eric Thurston (@ericthurstonforreal). It has been viewed more than 1.1 million times since it was posted on Thursday. It’s only 10 seconds long, but sometimes it only takes 10 seconds to tell a complete story.
It begins with a customer sitting next to another customer at a Texas Roadhouse booth saying, “I thought I could roll down at least 100.”
The server responds with: Want to know the fun part? ”
Customers say they do.
“Each roll has 200 calories,” the clerk reveals.
Hearing this, the two companions at the table opened their mouths wide in shock.
Sadly, the video ends before we learn how many rolls they actually consumed.
