Other times Pizza Hut came up

  1. With money in mind. Like the invention of the car, which just somehow magically happens. The crucial thing is, he's got a patent. Then he called up Pizza Place, he called up Pizza Hut and said, look, do you want this stuffed crust thing I've invented? Pizza Hut said, no. Eight years later, what shows up on Pizza Hut's menu? It's a stuffed crust. What did they claim?

  2. It was a limited edition offer in 2012 and it came with a red ruby ring, a limousine, which took you to your location of choice, flowers, fireworks, a photographer, and the cherry on the icing, a $10 dinner box.

It smells apparently like a freshly opened box of pizza, although a professional smellologist, whatever we're calling them, actually said it smells like cinnamon, baby powder, and most overwhelmingly, feet. They're not my favorite toppings.

  3. Hey, you want to hear some stuff about pizza? Go on. This was a publicity stunt by Pizza Hut in the early 2000s. They claimed that they were the first company in the world to deliver a pizza to outer space because the company sent one on a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. Then Yuri Usachev, one of the Russian cosmonauts living there, ate it.
