It looks like Cracker Barrel took cues from Oprah at its most recent event. The restaurant gifted all 100 expectant mothers invited to its Star-Spangled Babies shower with the brand's iconic rockers. Say it with me: You get a rocker! You get a rocker! Everybody gets a rocker!

The baby shower was a partnership between Cracker Barrel and its nonprofit partner Operation Homefront, an organization dedicated to assisting military families. The moms-to-be in attendance were all part of or a related to someone in the armed forces. In addition to the chairs, everyone took home toys, baby blankets, and clothes that'd been donated.

If you haven't followed the cult-like clout surrounding these chairs, here's a crash course: Cracker Barrel keeps a line-up of them on the front porch of every restaurant, and customers have come to appreciate them more than the food served inside. In fact, the restaurant's best-selling item isn't on the menu, it's the freakin' rocking chair.

This isn't the first time Cracker Barrel's donated the rockers. The restaurant kicked off its annual Operation Rocker in 2016. For a stretch of time, for every rocking chair purchased on the site, one is donated to a military family. To date, 2,000 have been given away. This year's campaign begins on June 29 and runs through Labor Day.
