Word spread that the waitresses wore \u003cstrong\u003eno panties under their miniskirts.\u003c\/strong\u003e Similar establishments popped up across the country. Men waited in line outside to pay three times the usual coffee price just to be served by a panty-free young woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Within a few years, a new craze took hold: the \u003cstrong\u003eno-panties \"massage\" parlor\u003c\/strong\u003e.
