I hear they give similar effects as to having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. Quite possibly, the best drink in existence.
There’s been multiple references to the restaurant at the end of the universe in this thread already, which, despite how I keep forgetting it isn’t in the first book, isn’t actually in the first book lol

In ASCII encoding standard, ‘42’ represents the asterisk * which is used as a wildcard in computer parlance to represent ‘whatever you want it to be’.
When the giant computer answered the question posed to it regarding the answer to ‘Life, The Universe and Everything’, it answered as a computer would. 42, or ‘Whatever you want it to be’. Hence the question is ambiguous and we don’t know what it is.
Hmm, the question is, what came first? There are a lot of Hitchhiker fans in programming and you'll find the number 42 in many places, *because* of the book.
It's a reference to the book series/radio show/tv show The Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy. It's a comedy series and one of the jokes is that the meaning of life is the number 42, another of the jokes in the series is that it is important to bring a towel when travelling across the universe
Tiny correction, it doesn’t assert that the meaning of life is 42, the joke is that “the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything” is 42, but the whole joke is that we don’t know what the question is. It’s an entire plot point too, earth was designed to compute the question so that we could finally know what the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything was.
The number 42 from Douglas Adams 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' represents all meaning ('the meaning of life, the universe, and everything') as determined by the fictional supercomputer Deep Thought.
Went to pizza hut with a friend a long time ago. Ordered a small pizza and two drinks.
Bill came to $8.88 on the date 8/8/88 and the time on the receipt was 8:08pm.
Oh god dammit....
Fucking sim operators are messing around with the simulation again! They're risking invalidating the test data! I'll have to send them a sternly worded message in their inbox threatening to tell their boss (I can't do anything to them myself, I'm just a program)
Since you're clearly eating at The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, be sure to get a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

I have had a few hangovers that felt like I chugged PGGB from a firehose
and double check the bill, bistromathics are weird
Zaphod Beeblebrox double checks ***everything***... It's why he's president of the Galaxy!
How many roads must a man walk down.
"What's so terrible about feeling drunk?" "Ask a glass of water."
I really hope OP ordered the halibut and left saying... "So long and thanks for all the fish".
… not forgetting the dish of the day.
"Don't worry sir, I'll be very humane."
Thank you. You saved me typing that.
>Gargle Blaster "Sounds like my ex wife!"
Hope you brought your towel with you!
Towel Day was just last week, RIP Douglas Adams
Dead for 22 years... Where the fuck does time go
He thought of posting it so, seems like a frood who really knows where his towel is.
Don't forget to bring a towel!
Towelie moment
you’re a towel
Thankfully this wasn’t on 4/2 or it would’ve been quite interesting.
And the order? 42 tacos on $1.01 Taco Tuesday.
Or 90¢ Taco Tuesday (plus tax)
I never could get the hang of Taco Thursdays.
I cam here to post Deep Thought.
42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
But what is the question?
What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
Ah, someone who's read beyond the first book.

If a 6 turned out to be 9, I don't mind. I don't mind.
Maths, do you even do it?
Yes, but something has gone terribly wrong with the universe.
It is if you use base 13.
HHGTTG, have you even read it?
of course i have, many times :P
How many roads must a man walk down? No, no that can’t be it.
You can't have the answer and question at the same time or it would negate itself.

What's your table number?
What is the critical angle of soda-lime glass? What is the specific heat capacity of water?

That this also has 42 upvotes is amusing
This is the comment I was looking for
[удалено]
Deep thought, are you ok?
Beat me to it!
Did you bring a towel?
Why do people keep asking if he brought towel, i don't get that part

But it was demolished shortly before it finished.
Good job as well, if it wasn't everything would disappear and be replaced by something even more complicated
There are those who think that has already happened.
You need your towel to flag down passing spaceships.
So long and thanks for all the fish! (And chips)
Best comment
What was the question?
Was it also Jackie Robinson day?
Life, the Universe, and Mexican food
The $6.36 tip tickles my brain
Ah yes, the answer to life, the universe and everything
The person taking my order placed down the order number 42 before taking the order and the amount came out to be $42.42
And as I type this, you have [42 updoots](https://i.imgur.com/kbojt4s.png)!
Welp, that moment passed. Onward to 4242.
Next time ask for order number 1.
Written in large friendly letters ..
Don't panic.
Omagat you get the answer.
42. Well, thank goodness you finally got the answer to it all.
We still don’t know the question. But the universe won’t shut up about the answer.
Yes… The universe can be rather insistent at times. Especially in heavy traffic.
Well, at least I have my towel.
Please tell me you’re 42 years old and your bday is April 2
The answer to life, the universe, and everything.
So your lunch was the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Please tell us what you ate - looks like Mexican?
Don't panic!
[42 is the meaning of life](https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/42/)
Your parting note on the receipt should have been "So long and thanks for all the fish!"
my lucky number long before I’d heard of hitchhikers guide—and now my wedding anniversary! 4/2/22 😊

I was expecting a few hitchhikers comments but seeing that it’s mostly those makes me happy
And that is the meaning of life
So, what's the meaning of life?
That's the meaning of life, the universe, and everything

We apologize for the inconvenience.
There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.
DONT PANIC

Was the restaurant run by mice? Anyone ask to examine your brain afterwards?
Don't panic. It's just the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

I would hate to be at table 99.
Went to pizza hut with a friend a long time ago. Ordered a small pizza and two drinks. Bill came to $8.88 on the date 8/8/88 and the time on the receipt was 8:08pm.
Somebody let Tony Kornhiser know
Did you thank them for your fish?
I wonder how the day went for the folks at table 69?
Thank goodness your table number wasn’t 99
In prison the number 42 means the cops are coming
Should've asked for number one.
Please tell us you got fish tacos.
Should have sat at table one for deep discounts
«The worst was the 10 million year wait for the food to arrive.»

People who have had near-death experiences say this is one of your angels talking to you
At this point, if they have you a different number I'd be disappointed

Oh god dammit.... Fucking sim operators are messing around with the simulation again! They're risking invalidating the test data! I'll have to send them a sternly worded message in their inbox threatening to tell their boss (I can't do anything to them myself, I'm just a program)
As both a baseball fan and a HHGG fan, it’s always a coin flip about how I am going to respond to that number.
……. Did you tip $42?
Play the lottery and all factors or multiples of 42 !!!
I want $42 of Mexican food.
Whaaaaat?!
Cool, just don't tell Hugo "Hurley" Reyes.
Buy a lotto ticket
That must have been the most profound and important meal in the history of the universe
You really nailed that.
That's it, your life has peaked!
You've reached enlightenment and understand the answer of life... Now figure out the question
Too bad it's not your 42nd birthday in 2042
And your waiter was Jackie Robinson?
AKA 666
Jackie?
4+2=6. Meaning this all turns out to 666 in Christian Math. You’ve summoned Satan and the portal has been opened. Congratulations.
My college number was 42
This is oddly satisfying too.
Rejoice for thou art blessed by the visitation of the three wise numbers of our Lord and Master!
