PIZZA HUT DELIVERS PIZZA IN SPACE

PIZZA HUT DELIVERS PIZZA IN SPACE



DALLAS (Wireless Flash) – The cat’s finally out of the bag: Pizza Hut has just announced it’s become the world’s first pizza chain to deliver pizza in outer space – four weeks after it happened. Sometime around Easter weekend, Pizza Hut launched several vacuum-sealed salami pizzas from Kazakhstan for delivery to Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. A spokeswoman says Pizza Hut has kept the saucy information top secret until now because it didn’t have photo confirmation of the pizzas actually being eaten in space until today. The pizza chain used salami instead of pepperoni for the orbital pizzas because the texture and taste of salami holds up better in a weightless environment. Although insiders claim the cosmonauts enjoyed the pizzas, there’s no word on if they left a tip.
