It's because of Pizza Hut's new line of Toscani Pastas (including an upscale version of the "comfort-food" staple, mac and cheese). Like the pizzas, you can order the pastas delivered or carry-out. Pizza Hut has been doing a series of TV ads featuring the pastas (including some references to "Pasta Hut"); this is likely a clip from one of them).

Old news, basically.

It's only for a trial period, but wtf.

It may be; however, the pastas have been added globally. However, interest in standalone franchises doing *just* the pastas is global.

Heresy is what it is :laugh:

Oh well, Domino's is better :shifty:

Here, here!

Domino`s is where its at, although not showing GDA on their foods bothers me slightly, probs indicates 2000 calories per pizza and a **** load of hydrogenated fat!

Still, aslong as they dont call themselves Kerplunk i`m sure pasta hut aint gonna bother them.

I just read that its due to them wanting a 'healthier' image.

Actually, how unhealthy *is* a pizza? Isn't it usually dependent on the toppings and the crust thereof? (Pizza Hut has several vegetarian pizzas on their standard menu.) The *unhealthy* reputation of the humble pizza is largely undeserved; in fact, it's no more deserved than the similar reputation of some pasta dishes (amazingly, this includes raviolis and other stuffed pasta-shell dishes, in addition to the comfort food of choice in the United States, mac-and-cheese) and I wish the rumor-mongers would stop.

The worst thing about their whole handling of this is they decided to start this campaign around April 1st, so now everyone's confused as to whether this is real or not. Idiots.

In truth pizza is not that unhealthy.

Yeah i know, but image isnt usually based on facts but public perception and Pasta is usually viewed as healthy.

I'll go try and find where i read it :p#

Also says in there its due to pasta being healthier but also says what you said that pizza's are healthy (unless you add alot of crap to them :p).

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
