In the mid-1980’s, the American fast food chain Wendy’s ran an advertising campaign promoting later hours at some drive-thru pick-up windows. Wendy’s was established in Columbus, OH in 1969 by entrepreneur Dave Thomas. In 1971, it became the first fast food restaurant to equip its pick-up window with a dedicated grill, which is now the industry standard. By 1981, Wendy’s had more than 1,800 restaurants. The pick-up window is credited as a major factor in the company's success and rapid expansion.

Tuaca is an Italian liqueur that features a blend of brandies, distilled Mediterranean citrus essences, and vanilla. The original Tuaca recipe is said to have been created over 500 years ago during the Italian Renaissance. The recipe was "rediscovered," perfected and proudced by Geatano Tuoni and Giorgio Canepa of Livorno, Italy, who dubbed the liqueur Tuaca. In 2010, the Tuaca distillery in Livorno closed, and the liqueur is now produced by the Louisville, Kentucky-based manufacturer Brown-Forman. The Butterfly Flip is presumably a cocktail made with Tuaca.
