- Daddy's Dogs is offering customers who got a vasectomy a free milkshake.

A Nashville, Tennessee hot dog restaurant is offering a free milkshake for those who show proof of undergoing a vasectomy, according to reports.
The deal at Daddy's Dogs is called "Snip for Shake", per local news outlet WKRN. It was implemented just days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. In order to qualify for the promotion, the customer needs to show a doctor's note.
"We thought this would be a fun and unique way to get the word out about vasectomies for men," Sean "Big Daddy" Porter, owner of the restaurant, told Newsweek. He said that he received a vasectomy a few years ago.
There has been a heightened interest to get a vasectomy since the Supreme Court ruling, The Washington Post reported. A Nashville urologist told local news that there has been a wave of calls from men inquiring about the reversible procedure — which is a safe and affordable method of birth control — that happens when the tubes carrying the sperm are snipped.
"It's a way to put the ball in the guy's court, and will hopefully also help break the stigma that comes along with men's health," Porter told Newsweek.
He added the restaurant has had at least 25 people take advantage of the promotion with "a few folks coming by straight from their doctors," according to the outlet.
