Sophie Cunningham Goes Viral for Arby’s Shirt, Courtside Tumble, and Surprise Endorsement Deal
Sophie Cunningham of the Phoenix Mercury just turned a cheeky t-shirt into a viral moment—and a major fast-food endorsement. The chaos began when she arrived at a game wearing a bold shirt that read: “Hot Girls Eat Arby’s.” Instantly, the internet lit up. Memes exploded, fans joked about craving curly fries, and the hashtag #HotGirlsEatArbys began trending.
But the moment truly took off mid-game, when Cunningham dove for a loose ball and accidentally landed in the lap of a courtside cameraman. The clip—equal parts awkward and hilarious—went viral within minutes. Sophie embraced the moment, posting: “Guess we’re both having a meaty day.”
Arby’s took notice. Within 48 hours, the chain offered her a limited endorsement deal. “She made ‘Hot Girls Eat Arby’s’ a movement,” the brand said. Cunningham will now headline their new campaign celebrating bold, unexpected energy.
“I wore that shirt for fun,” she laughed. “Didn’t expect free curly fries for life—but I’ll take it.”
Sometimes, going viral tastes better than expected.
