This practice was discontinued when the new owner took Hard Black Rubber Ball Soup off the menu.

Didn’t matter – no one would eat there anyway.

Ewwww!!

Not a Scene I Want From an Italian Restaurant.

Blackened meatballs or tonsils?

My pasta looks okay, but my meatballls look funny… this one has a dust bunny on it!

When they played a version of this game in a delicatessen, it led to the invention of pickleball.

Pathetic

Really?

As a promotional gimmick they could be used as t-shirt cannons!

Eww…

They’re practical chokers.

Must be a pretty good restaurant with so many staff personnel……

The lady says “Get your arms off me, I’m not loaded!”.

I really dislike Dodge Ball. I would dislike this even more. :)

I always thought those things went in that end and out the other.

They even have cheerleaders. Regurgitate, regurgitate, bring up all the food you ate. :)

This is probably why they got that “C” rating. That can’t be hygienic.

Ew.

The PC freaks and Karens of the world would never allow dodgeball in any form to go on without a fight.

We shall prevail over them though.

My dog wants to know if they need a cleanup crew. She would be happy to help.

Good Grief!

This explains its “5” Zagat rating out of 30.
