Default Seattle Restaurant Serves Up Obesity Waiver

Order a signature dessert at the 5 Spot eatery in Seattle, and you'll have
to sign a liability waiver first.

The semi-serious gimmick applies to "a sugar-coated, deep-fried,
ice-cream-swaddled, caramel-drizzled, whipped-cream-anointed banana" called
The Bulge, reports the Washington Post.

Before you can take your first bite of the fattening fare, you have to sign
a waiver that states, "I will not impose any sort of obesity-related
lawsuit against the 5 Spot or consider any similar type of frivolous
legislation created by a hungry trial lawyer."

5 Spot co-owner Peter Levy says the creation stemmed from anger at trial
attorneys who want to make restaurants accountable for their patrons'
eating habits. "We came up with the most fattening and delicious dessert we
could think of," he tells the Post.
