Hooter's Settles with Waitress Who Thought She Won a Toyota but Got Toy Yoda Instead

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - A former waitress has settled her lawsuit against Hooters, the restaurant that gave her a toy Yoda doll instead of the Toyota she thought she'd won.

Jodee Berry, 27, won a beer sales contest last May at the Panama City Beach Hooters. She believed she had won a new Toyota and happily was escorted to the restaurant's parking lot in a blindfold.

But when the blindfold was removed, she found she had won a new toy Yoda - the little green character from the ``Star Wars'' movies.

David Noll, her attorney, said Wednesday that he could not disclose the settlement's details, although he said Berry can now go to a local car dealership and ``pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants.''

After the stunt, Berry quit the restaurant and filed a lawsuit against Gulf Coast Wings, Inc., the restaurant's corporate owner, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation.

The restaurant's manager, Jared Blair, has said the whole contest was an April Fools' joke.

I think that is really funny and it is only her fault that she thought she was geting a car

Yeah and you call those HOOTERS

What's wrong with the women in Florida they don't drink milk or something I went to a hooters in Orlando a while back and my wife had the biggest Hooters in th place.

I'm suprised the Hooters manager was stupid enough to offer this deal, it IS a breach of contract and misrepresentation. There is actually precedence for this...

I believe it was in Houston Texas where a local radio station put on a contest where the winner won "the keys to a brand new car." As you can guess when the contestant won they only gave him the keys and not the car. The guy sued and the radio station had to actually give him a car.

Bow-Wow.......I'd rather see Yoda in a tight shirt
