    “And yes, we’re also introducing another vocabulary word with Pizza Hut, which is ‘The Hut.’ That ties in nicely with (today’s) texting generation.”

    Pizza Hut’s possible rebranding to “The Hut” (via Lee)

    Did anyone at Pizza Hut consider the possibility that fewer people are eating there because the food isn’t very good and is incredibly unhealthy, which people are finally starting to care about a little more, rather than the restaurant’s name being one word too long for the “texting generation” to handle?

    (via marco)

    You’re wrong Marco. It’s because under FDA law, The Hut can no longer use the word Pizza. It’s like when Kentucky Fried Chicken was forced to change its name to KFC. Those beakless, non-feathered hell-pigeons they genetically produce can’t legally be called chickens.

    And in other news, The Hut chose a spokesperson for its new rebranding campaign:

    I don’t understand, Adam… How can the FDA say what is and isn’t pizza? Isn’t pizza simply a combination of dough, cheese, and sometimes tomato sauce? Is it a matter of additives and preservatives?
