When Pizza Hut recently posted a commercial promising a lifetime supply of pizza to the presidential debate attendee that asked either candidate about their preferred pizza topping, they were faced with a surprising amount of backlash from consumers. Accused of making a mockery of the American democratic system and inappropriately inserting themselves in a public forum, Pizza Hut moved their commercial from YouTube to their website claiming everyone should have the chance to win a lifetime supply of pizza. While the company stated they would still fulfill their promise for anyone who held up their end of the deal, the timeless question ultimately went unasked and answered at last night’s debate.
What do you think Pizza Hut’s promotion was — funny and amusing, or embarrassing and offensive?
