In a strange move, the chain diner partnered with bands to make signature dishes. Sum 41 “Sumwich”, anyone? Early Katy Perry–inspired milkshake?

Think back to 2009. Doesn't seem all that long ago, right? But what if I said "Sum 41 had their own Denny's sandwich"? Now it seems really far in the past, right?
Back in the late aughts, Denny's launched a menu aimed at young late-night snackers called "Denny's Allnighter," featuring signature dishes endorsed by various popular bands at the time. There was a decided pop-punk lean to the bands selected.
Take a deep breath in, and whisper "Hoooooooooobastank" as you exhale. Now let's examine some of the playbill for this high-calorie menu:
Sum 41's "Sumwich"
A tribute to Avril's former husband's homeland of Canada, the sandwich was eggs, cheese, and ham between two slices of French toast. Topped with powdered sugar.
