Is Red Lobster your favorite restaurant? You must be a Millennial.

A recent survey by Nation's Restaurant News surprised everyone, including Red Lobster's management, by finding that it is the favorite restaurant of 18 - 24 year olds.

I'm not surprised.  Despite their flat footed non-response, sales at the chain rose 33% in February after Beyonce mentioned it in her Formation performance at the Super Bowl. (Houston, 2016)

Now comes word that lemonade beverage sales have also increased, up 20% to 100% depending upon the brand, since Beyonce's latest release - Lemonade. (Houston, 2016)

Wow!  The power of celebrities has never been stronger.
