In the movie Animal House, Boone orders a double rock and rye and seven Carlings. In this scene, the boys, Boone, Otter, Flounder and Pinto, were on a road trip and visited an African American bar. This just after they picked up dates for the four of them by tricking a sorority girl into coming out. This was accomplished when Otter presented himself as Fawn Leibowitz' fiance; a girl recently killed in a tragic kiln explosion. Otter says she was going to make a pot for him. As Ottis Day and the Nights played in the background, Boone ordered the drink with the seven beers. Shortly thereafter other men asked to dance with their dates, and the men ran out in terror. One of the classic moments in American cinema.
