As if there aren't already enough reasons not to eat Domino's pizza...

Summary: He sold Domino's pizza business 10 years ago, so you can continue to, if only that was the reason not to.

(Though this largely means nothing)

There you go. Catchy name...

the whole 'popping' concept sure grosses me out though.

Jessica Simpson is tremendously ugly to me, and the popping pizza makes me want to kill people :(

xpost the reason why Papa Johns doesn't mystify me is because of the Dan Marino ads. Those are pretty clear cut to me. Also: no "popping" or "stuffed crust."

It's like how the Belgians transformed beer into eight thousand varieties -- only American megacorporations are trying to do it with pizza. And badly.

better to be evil than uninvolved, I guess

Still, if you were dumb enough to get the cardboard & red junk Domino's, you deserved to have your mouth lining scraped off.

When was this? I have eaten at a Pizza Hut in Ann Arbor . . .

Still, I never needed a reason not to eat Dominos besides "Tastes like ass. Greasy ass." The religious crap was just icing.

When I eat chain pizza at all, it's Papa John's.

xpost

knew the pizzas were yucky, though

I don't think Pizza Hut had any close access to the U of M campus(either central or north). Domino's was all over the place, tho. Enterprising store owners would set up stands by the sidewalks, or load up the delivery trucks to offer $5 pizzas to passersby on the way home from football games. Little Ceaser's was in the Commons on north campus(until it became a McDonalds! huzzah!).

Then there was Cottage Inn, which ruled over all, and was a regional chain. Uno's moved out years ago.

did you guys ever get the cheeseburger pizza? why not just eat a cheeseburger?

some standard chain australian pizzas:

Super Supreme
Beef, ham, cabanossi, pepperoni, pineapple, mushroom, onion, capsicum & black olives

Meat Supreme
Pepperoni, bacon, beef, onion, capsicum, mushroom & tomato

Chicken & Bacon
Chicken, bacon, tomato & onion

Hot'n Spicy
Beef, hot jalapenos, onion & tomato

BBQ Chicken
Chicken, onion & mushroom on BBQ sauce

Double Bacon Cheese Burger
Double serving of bacon plus beef & cheese on BBQ sauce

Chicken Aloha
Chicken, pepperoni, pineapple & tomato on BBQ sauce

Chicken Supreme
Chicken, ham, tomato, capsicum & onion

BBQ Meat Lovers
Ham, cabanossi, bacon, beef & pepperoni on BBQ sauce

Veggie Supreme
Tomato, pineapple, capsicum, onion & mushroom

Papa Johns is now selling something called "Spinach Alfredo Deluxe Pizza"??? It's on sale right now, so I maybe will try next time I get a pizza??? Also the hawaiian barbeque chicken has been added to their menu. Note: I do not actually work to Papa Johns, I just went on their website which allows you to order pizzas online without ever having to speak to another human being, which is cool.

No beetroot?!?!?! (Seeing hamburgers w/beets on them in Australia kinda weirded me out.)

Nemo, I used to get a similar thing at Pizza Hut back in the 80s called the Taco Pizza. Do they still sell that, I wonder?

I love L&B. My wife grew up around the corner from it.

I like CPK, too, though it's overpriced.

I hope there will one day be a Lord Cuntos Epsilon pizza franchise.

I should have clarified, then. The other franchises are in the suburbs of the city, but not really all that accessible on foot from campus.

But if you want to get pedantic and list every one, let's go thru them, then:

California Pizza Kitchen
-- briarwood, you ain't gunna hoof it there

Chuck E Cheese's
-- way the hell out in the suburbs, by the highway

Cottage Inn Pizza
--i did mention Cottage Inn, which is a regional/local chain, but sure as shit not national when I was in town

Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs
-- again, way the hell out on the west side of town, by the highway

Jet's Pizza
--on the other side of the highway, not too far from the airport

Papa John's Pizza
--this one showed up after I left

Pizza Hut
-- miles west of town, on the way to dexter

and still, Little Ceasar's & Domino's are the dominant franchises in town.

It did change, tho, since the Domino's moved out of its two big locations(NCC), and more local places came in(more slice-based spots, if you will). The reflexive desire on many conference/party organizers to order nothing but Domino's was but one of the many distressing parts of my undergraduate experience.

"There are a lot of misconceptions," so to speak.

"We're truly just trying to create a town with traditional values."

yaaay! more religious conservative code words!

still, I eagerly await all their programs to help the poor & the sick.

"I shall erect a crucifix tall enough to fuck God!!"

i already posted that!

and please, for love of all that is good, stop posting at 1:11 !!

btw: that poppin player kinda makes me want to try the pops.

also, abbott - re jessica - youre not supposed to look at her face! you must be sick.

Domino's is like eating some 19th century baseball mitt with red food coloring and venetian blinds baked onto it. Plus some monster crust bubble forms in every one of their pizzas and pushes all of its .4 grams of toppings to one tiny corner of one slice of the pizza.

As little as I care for Dominos, that is the strangest fucking description I ever ...

And the Miss Piggy Pizza Hut commercial is much more disturbing when you consider she's happily serving you cannabalistic pork-based pepperoni. It's like the bottle of seasoned salt I used to see at our local grocery store that featured a happy smiling cow grilling burgers.

Also see that SNL commercial with the disembodied chicken head flying about.

Jingle: "Something's cookin' at the Cluckin' Chicken"

Clucky Chicken: [ popping into the front of the screen ] That's me! [ flies up to a table flled with kids and their Dad ]

Dad: Hey, Clucky - why's the Cluckin' Chicken so chick-a-licious?

Clucky Chicken: Everybody knows why. It's 'cause I'm flame-broiled! Yow-zee-yow-dow! But that's not all - I'm cooked fresh! First my head's cut off! [ the cook chops Clucky's head off and send it flying through the restaurant ] Heads up! [ Clucky's head appears before another chicken being gutted ] Then I'm plucked and gutted - my intestines are pulled out. Trust me, you don't want 'em! Whee! Look at me! I'm gettin' quartered and split breasts, wings, the whole nine yards! Chopitty, chop! Then the pieces of me get flame-broiled. Hear that sizzle? That's me! 550 degrees! Good thing I'm dead, or yow-wee! Then I'm seasoned just right, and ready to go! [ takes a bite of a piece of chicken ] Hey, I'm good! Finally, I'm served to you, so you can chew me, swallow me, and convert me into waste matter. [ peers into the toilet ] Ga-ga-ga-gooey!

[ returns to the kids and their Dad ] Hey, kids, how's the meat?

Kids: [ chewing ferociously ] You taste great, Clucky!

Clucky Chicken: [ head spinning around the restaurant ] Holy fanoley! The oxygen's leaving my brain!

Dad; Any last words, Clucky?

Clucky Chicken: You betcha! [ singing ] "If you want a place for the greatest chicken, take it from my head, it's easy pickin', 'cause.."

Jingle: "Something's always cookin' at the Cluckin' Chicken!"

Clucky Chicken: Being dead never tasted so go-nobbity good!

Domino's are fucked:

Their PR people must be shitting themselves.

IF THEY'VE EATEN THE FOOD, LITERALLY. LOL.

never eat at a restaurant where disaffected teens and college kids have access to your food during the preparation imo

yeah, what does that cut your options down to though?

I saw a picture of a Domino's in today's Tribune and thought, "there is a place for cheap (bad) pizza). It's just bread with tomato and a little cheese on it. Little Caesar's is $5 chewy goodness.

This print ad is obviously quite a daring move by Dominos as they are using the idea of s&m to demonstrate the enjoyable yet painful experience you have, or your tongue has, when eating their new Sriracha product. The ad is clearly aimed at adults, most likely young adults and students that can, on some level, relate to the idea of s&m and the purpose behind it. Young adults may find the ad to be quite humorous, so it will most likely be received well. It describes the main feature of the product in a visual way which is very eye catching and draws readers attention well. Therefore, people that enjoy spicy food may be persuaded by the ad to go and purchase the product from Dominos.

i know, i read that too! so weird. endorsed by promobot.

Disembodied, anthropomorphic tongues in advertising are gross.

Really in any context.

lol i was just about to post krendall's comment

Yeah whatever, Pizza Hut. Go back and try again.
