ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the
world based on global retail sales, knows that the Noid is back
and will stop at nothing to thwart great pizza deliveries. However,
recent Noid innovations featured in the latest Domino's television
campaign, such as the infamous Pizza Crusher, Pizza Slayzer and
giant Noid Balloon Blockade, haven't stopped tech-savvy Domino's
from delivering delicious pizza to families nationwide. What's a
villain to do?
To Domino's dismay, their nemesis has decided to sell
one-of-a-kind nonfungible tokens (NFTs) linked to these tools, over
the course of a fourteen-day auction, to fund future schemes.
Domino's was alerted to this nefarious plan and felt a strong
statement was necessary: please don't buy them!
NFTs are pieces of unique digital code stored on the blockchain,
linked to underlying assets from images to GIFs to memes, and act
as a permanent public ledger of transactions associated with those
assets. They can be bought and sold or auctioned, including on
special NFT marketplaces, and are often purchased with
cryptocurrency.
Just days ago, the Noid created one-of-a-kind NFTs associated
with its three latest inventions and placed them on
https://rarible.com/thenoid for anyone to purchase. This NFT
collection – more aptly called Noid's Failed Tools – may look
cleverly-designed, even down to the Noid's unique signature
emblazoned on each tool, but don't be fooled by the devious
creature's ulterior motives.
"We saw the Noid fans on Twitter asking how they could get a
Pizza Crusher. We get it, it looks pretty fun," said Kate Trumbull, Domino's vice president of
advertising. "But who knows what pesky ideas the Noid will be able
to fund with the proceeds from the NFT sale? It's just best that
everyone steers clear."
While the Noid hasn't revealed exactly what the proceeds will go
towards, rumor has it that the anti-mascot is considering things
like new and improved gadgets, ingenious disguises, or maybe an
autobiography. There's even been speculation that the Noid is
plotting to hop on TikTok later this week to continue its foolish
antics. The Noid is not lacking in ideas, just funds. Stop Domino's
archrival and Avoid the Noid™!
