First there was

Marathan to Snickers
Opel Fruits - Starburst
Jiff to Cif then back to Jiff again

Now

Pizza Hut to Pasta Hut

Talk about a waste of money

What gets me about this one is the fact that they already did it earlier this year - although that time it was an April Fool`s gag.

Obviously somebody high-up liked the idea so much that they decided to make it a reality.

Isn`t it only ten or so specially selected stores to go to Pasta from Pizza Hut (an inverse Wimpy where 95% of them became Burger Kings), most of the takeaway\delivery outlets have never seen pasta.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?

I believe it`s actually thirty `huts` that are changing, and only for a limited time at that.
