Pizza Hut to change its name to....
 

Pasta Hut. http://discussworldissues.com/forums...es/unsure1.gif

The funny part is, someone probably earnt loads coming up with that idea [no]

The funny thing is, I was gonna say that April Fools joke is about 6 months old (because those Pasta Hut TV commercials back then were just that, a joke) but then I seen that apparently this is true!

Oh well, I never eat there anyway. It's all frozen overpriced garbage anyway these days. Nothing like a pie from a local pizzeria.

utterly lame

the pasta in those places sucks ass anyway :/

This a uk thing only?

I wasn't even aware that pizza hut sold pasta [rofl]

Neither was I, but I haven't been in a Pizza Hut for years.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.Pizza Hut is a global brand with millions of dollars spent on marketing. Only reason I can see for a change would be if the company has been seriously mismanaged and has a dismal reputation in the UK. But seriously, why would you rename it to Pasta Haus in this day and age of GI? Does not seem like a wise move. Admittedly better than pizza hut in that respect - but why not just "the hut" or something similar if they really want a name change and they can change the menu according to trends as they wish.

Without knowing the owner structure in this particular company I am wondering what the US office is thinking.Are they still a franchise under the Pepsico umbrella?

I can't help but thinking about the catastrophy with "new coke" when I read this.

shack ? bungalow ? maisonette ?

GI? http://discussworldissues.com/forums.../confused1.gif

I like it, give this man a marketing job!

It looks like only for 30 restaurants though, at least right now.

As part of the revamp, the chain will temporarily rename 30 of its Pizza Hut branches Pasta Hut to present a healthier image. http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/4719066a7773.html

And here is the company's new mascot:

Blame Olive Garden with their never ending pasta bowls! (so good)

BTW I love Pizza Hut thin crust pizzas, never tried their new pasta approach to life, but until you can hold a slice of pasta in one hand while watching football, I don't imagine I ever will.

[rofl]

It's hideously funny.

It's a diet method pretty popular rigt now, at least in my country. Low in carboydrates and high in protein/fatty foods for weight loss.

I'm not sure if you're being ironic or not, but that is actually my daily profession. Only problem I see is if people keep spraying "Jabba" by the logo http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/smile1.gif.

And your point is?

LOL keep up the acting .

Acting? I honestly have no idea what it is you're blathering on about. http://discussworldissues.com/forums.../confused1.gif
