When Chet runs off to puke up the old 96'er you can see Dan Aykroyd give a 1,2,3 countdown for the family to scream and run out the door just before the camera dollies behind a lamp shade.

Not only did Chet (John Candy) finish the Old 96er, he also ate dessert right after. Roman (Dan Akroyd) asked the chef for some Paul Bunyan hats for the kids if he does... As they leave, the kids are all wearing Paul Bunyan hats.

Chet decides to take on the Ol' 96er steak, which if finished, everyone in the party eats for free. Because Roman is secretly broke, he coaches Chet through it, even makes Chet eat the gristle at the end, and asks for free trip souvenirs for the kids.
