Reply to comment by Bri-guy15 in TIL about the "Raines sandwich;" an inedible piece of "food" that served as a way to bypass prohibition laws. by Alabussy

Same thing happened in my state until the law was changed - breweries needed to offer food to sell carry out. So they had very silly overpriced menus - like a can of soup for $10. Technically available, just never ordered.

Eh… they made $9 on a can of soup. I’m sure they are okay with it.

In my town a certain percentage of total sales have to be food. I always wondered how an establishment can really even control that, but I guess they make it work somehow.
