With its #ShredYourEx promotion, Hooters brings back its Valentine's Day deal for another year—allowing its customers to destroy a picture of their ex to receive 10 free boneless chicken wings when then purchase any 10 wings at its restaurants.
The offer is available for dine-in service at Hooters restaurants throughout the United States, where restaurant staff will bring out a real shredder to get the job done. The chain also offers the promotion online, allowing customers to rank their breakup on a scale of Kim and Kanye to Cardi B and Offset, upload a photo, and then choose a method of destruction. Once they've destroyed their ex's photo, customers will receive a digital coupon code that they can apply to their order.
