The lesson here is that no matter how obvious your publicity stunt is, someone will fall for it.

Publicity stunt to promote it's pasta. It is only temporary.

OMG!wikipedia wrote:On October 6, 2008 Pizza Hut UK revealed that it was going to temporarily re-brand 30 of it's stores 'Pasta Hut' as part of an £18million move to attract new customers and to move more upmarket

Just another marketing ploy to get our custom. Are Pizza Hut doing that badly that they need to resort to this!

More like Pasta Saucer though. Anyone used a Pizza Hut Pasta and Salad bar??. They give you a bowl that frankly wouldn't cover my balls if my trousers fell down.
You then have to pile the stuff high to get your moneys worth, meaning you have to make your way back to the table like a performing seal balancing a ball, which in turn means people look at you, which then allows them to see your plate piled high with pasta and salad making you look like a greedy c**t, at which point you want to proclaim loudly, 'I'M NOT GREEDY, ITS A LITTLE BOWL! '
Pasta Hut?, my sweaty ar*e crack!.

That was their second choice for the temporary rebrand, in order to communicate to potential diners the true taste of their products.FatTrucker wrote:Pasta Hut?, my sweaty ar*e crack!

Exactly, a decent proportion of the stores don't even sell Pasta (the express ones) so it couldn't be universal.stejay wrote:Publicity stunt to promote it's pasta. It is only temporary.
