Of course, many people were left slightly confused about the connection between Cantwell and Waffle House, and some thought Waffle House should now reach out to the young man.

“Why? Is it some kind of sponsorship or something?” said one comment.

“No idea why, but I’m here for it!” said another.

“Get this kid a Waffle House NIL deal immediately,” a third continued about Cantwell.

“@WaffleHouse better collab with this guy soon,” added a fourth.

Considering the news about the CEO, the most likely reason he had that flag is that Jackson was truly a big fan of the restaurant and wanted to honor Ehmer the best way he could.
