Chubby Checker, the singer who doesn't measure penises, suing makers of penis-measuring app
Many know that Chubby Checker is an American singer-songwriter famous for popularizing “The Twist” in the early 1960s, but few know that Checker is also capable of estimating a man’s penis length based on his shoe size—primarily because it’s not true. That confusion persists, however, due to the release of “The Chubby Checker,” an app designed by Hewlett-Packard subsidiary Palm, Inc. that did not score a record-setting five albums in the Top 12 simultaneously, but rather offered to help ladies assessing new romantic partners who were “wondering what the size of there [sic] member is.” Using said partners’ shoe size, The Chubby Checker estimates penis length in both metric and imperial measurements, as opposed to signing to Cameo-Parkway Records and releasing a string of records that captured the carefree spirit of sock-hop-era America. (That was the other Chubby Checker.)
