The Weekend Hotness: Chad endorses the Souplantation (8/31/08) photo

The next time you visit one of the Souplantation’s 109 family-friendly locations make sure to tell your server that Mr. Destructoid sent you in order to save 10 percent on your meal. Ok, so we actually can’t actually guarantee that they’ll give you a discount, but considering the huge plug Chad gave them during the Destructoid PAX panel they should definitely think about it.

Rare doesn’t want to make another Viva Pinata right away, EA is acting suspicious by giving away free stuff, and Nick loses a match of arm wrestling (although I hear his opponent cheats).

You'd think he would support Rosco's or In & Out Burger.

Souplantation, I didn't see that one coming.

FUCK YEAH SOUPPLANTATION.

I liked them a lot more before they replaced the ice cream with this non-fat bullshit that tastes like plastic. Oh well. No more brownie sundaes.
