Pineapple-on-pizza fans can now proudly wear
their pizza choice in style
TORONTO,
July 1, 2021 /CNW/ -
Today Pizza Hut launches an exclusive, limited-edition Hawaiian
Pizza Shirt to celebrate the most controversial pizza topping of
all-time: pineapple. With new research showing thirty per cent of
Canadians feel that pineapple should never be on a pizza, Pizza Hut
is offering Hawaiian pizza lovers an opportunity to announce their
love for pineapple to the world by wearing it with style.
The Hawaiian Pizza Shirts are inspired by the classic Hawaiian
shirts of the 80s and 90s, with a delicious refresh that Hawaiian
Pizza fans will go ham for. The Pizza Wear features design elements
like a pizza-shaped pocket, blooming pizza slices and a pineapple
island. Pineapple pizza lovers take a lot of heat for their
preferences, but now fans don't have to live in hiding anymore,
they can unabashedly show their Hawaiian Pizza love, and look good
doing it.
"We know that almost one in five Canadians believe Hawaiian
pizza originated in Hawaii, when
in fact it was developed in Ontario. We wanted to celebrate the origins of
this polarizing dish the only way we know how: with more pizza,"
says Amy Rozinksy, Head of Consumer Marketing, Pizza Hut Canada.
"We are so excited to launch this limited edition Pizza Wear to
pineapple-on-pizza fans everywhere."
Research also found that some Canadians are so anti-pineapple,
they'd take just about anything on their pizza instead,
including:
- Mashed potatoes
- Ketchup
- Brussel sprouts
- Eggs
Interestingly, many Canadians feel so strongly about pineapple
preference, they'd stake their love life on it. Research shows that
9% of Canadians could never select a partner that has a different
opinion regarding pineapple on pizza.
Pizza Hut is in it for the love of pizza and are proud to be
pizza recipe-neutral. The Hawaiian Pizza Shirt is there for
Canadians to proudly wear their love of pizza. For a chance to
