Paul Bunyan’s Cupboard Shirt

The “Old 96er” is a famous scene from the 1988 comedy film “The Great Outdoors,” starring John Candy and Dan Aykroyd. In this movie, John Candy’s character, Chet Ripley, takes on the challenge of eating a 96-ounce steak at Paul Bunyan’s Cupboard. The steak is humorously referred to as the “Old 96er.” The challenge is that if anyone can eat the entire steak, including the gristle and fat, their entire meal is free. The scene is comedic, as Chet struggles to finish the enormous piece of meat while his family and other diners watch in disbelief. This scene has become one of the memorable highlights of the film, showcasing John Candy’s comedic talents and the absurdity of the challenge.
