If you’ve always wanted to be proposed to over a greasy
pizza and breadsticks, you’re in luck!
From now until Valentine’s Day, Pizza Hut is offering the Tie the Knot with the $10
Dinner Box promotion on their website for the bargain price
of $10,010 plus tax.
This package promotes the new product, a dinner box, which
includes a pizza, breadsticks and cinnamon sticks. As if stuffing all of those
calorific foods into one box wasn’t enough, Pizza Hut wanted to go a step
further.
“Our customers want the best of everything, from their food to memorable life experiences,” said Kurt Kane, Pizza Hut CMO, in a statement. “So we decided to make one of those experiences – the marriage proposal – second-to none and offer it at PizzaHut.com right alongside the new $10 Dinner Box.”
The package includes a ruby engagement ring, limo service,
flowers, fireworks, a videographer, a photographer, and, of course, the $10
dinner box. If that sounds like a deal to you, grab one because there are only
ten available.
While they will no doubt sell some of these packages, the
desperate attempt by Pizza Hut to cash in on the Valentine’s Day spending spree
hasn’t impressed or fooled many. Here’s what some people had to say on Twitter:
@BuzzFeed Pizza Hut Is Now Ushering In The End
Of Civilization With A "Proposal Package"
@rabbitwhite Wait, is this Pizza Hut Proposal Package real? And if so, should you hide
the ring in the unlimited Salad Bar?

They say all publicity is good publicity, but it may not
apply in this case.
