Hockey fans love hat tricks, and human beings in general love curly fries. And so for over a decade, Arby's has offered the people of Detroit free curly fries if a Red Wings player managed to score three goals in a game.
It was a beautiful relationship and everyone was happy with the arrangement until recently, when the Red Wings began to play poorly, to the point that no Red Wings player has managed a hat trick since the 2016-17 season.
So Arby's decided to change the promotion, instead offering free curly fries if the team scores three goals, according to Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.
