[[Beret Guy]] and at least one other person ([[Megan]], [[Danish]], [[Hairbun]] or [[Jill]]) are sitting at a restaurant. The waitress, [[Ponytail]], tells Beret Guy there is a special on Tuesdays for "endless wings". Restaurants often have different daily discounts to encourage people to come in. In a normal restaurant, "endless wings" would presumably refer to "all-you-can-eat" {{w|chicken wings}}, meaning the customer can pay a flat price and eat all the chicken wings they want without having to pay any more. | [[Beret Guy]] and at least one other person ([[Megan]], [[Danish]], [[Hairbun]] or [[Jill]]) are sitting at a restaurant.

The other characters scream in horror for obvious reasons. |
The title text plays on another common restaurant offer of "bottomless drinks", meaning unlimited free refills of drinks. However, falling into something literally bottomless (i.e. without a bottom) would result in falling forever. (However, even this is unlikely unless the diameter of the cups that the drinks are served in is large enough to fit a whole person into.) If it was literally "bottomless", you would start to decelerate as you pass the earth's center of mass. The air pressure and heat in a "bottomless" pit would also be fatal to humans. | The title text plays on another common restaurant offer of "bottomless drinks", meaning unlimited free refills of drinks.
