Did pizza hut really change their name?

[connorlevismom]

I got this e-mail that says they changed their name to Pasta Hut. WTH? Their pizza was going downhill so now they are doing pasta? That is a huge change to make on such a well-known name.

I received the same email. It is still Pizza Hut. The email was for a pasta advertisement. In the email was the logo that was switching back and forth from Pizza Hut to Pasta Hut.

To change your title go to edit your post and then advanced edit and you can change your title.

You're right. I'll bet the ad agency that thought up the use April Fools Day for tons of free publicity idea got a big bonus.

What about when Burger King released their LEFT HANDED WHOPPER on APRIL 1st. and they went on and on about the fairness to people of all abilities be they right or left handed.
Tons of people showed up ordering the left handed whopper. How the heck could they make a burger right or left handed?

Actually its not a joke.

There was an article in USA Today about a week ago that Pizza Hut was starting to roll out pasta dinners for carryout and they want to be known for more than just pizza.. Here is the link to the article.

I believe the pasta delivery but I don't think they are going to change their name.

I just saw a Pasta Hut commercial on TV during American Idol.

Years ago, Pizza Huts around here had pasta on their menus. It was pretty good and a nice sit down meal. The lunch buffets served some pasta as well, but perhaps that was just here in central PA.

I think Pizza Hut's gross. Maybe they're just bad in Canada. I can't imagine them having quality pasta. I might eat my words though. Who knows?

Butterfinger also changed their name for April Foos to just "The Finger" because they didnt want their candy bar to be refered to as clumsy or something lol if you went to 711 on 4/1 they were giving out "The Finger" for free haha
