Adam Sandler finally reunited with the IHOP employee who helped him become an unwitting viral sensation on TikTok.
Earlier this month, the former “Saturday Night Live” star was praised online for his positive attitude after he and his daughter were told by a teenage employee at the restaurant that there would be a lengthy wait to be seated, prompting the star to politely exit the restaurant.
The teen shared a video of the brief encounter on TikTok and noted how embarrassed she was to have not recognized the famous comedian and movie star at the time.
“Pleaseee come back,” Dayanna Rodas captioned the post.
The moment went viral on the social media platform, prompting a cheeky response from Sandler on Twitter in which he joked that he left the establishment because he was informed: “the all-you-can-eat deal didn’t apply to the milkshakes.”
Getting in on the viral fun, IHOP announced Friday that it would offer all-you-can-drink milkshakes at its Long Island locations on Monday. It turns out that was enough to get Sandler to accept Rodas’ offer to come back.
In her latest TikTok video, Rodas is seen outside her IHOP where the chain was set up to divvy out a ton of milkshakes. The video photo collage shows several snaps in which she reunites with Sandler after all this time and virality. Both seem in good spirits as they sport IHOP-brand face masks in the parking lot and pose with several other people for photos.
Sandler, who in keeping with his usual dressed-down style sports a red T-shirt, yellow shorts and brown boots, even brought his bulldog along for the outing to collect a milkshake.
“Couldn’t have been more excited!! Thank you Adam Sandler!” Rodas captioned the latest video. Read more from Fox.
