Default Pizzahut advertising nonsense

Random thought of the day:






Two meals, EXACTLY the same, except one has a "Free pepsi and extra starter" and costs 2 quid more.

Now surely that means it doesnt have a free pepsi and extra starter, it has a pepsi and extra starter at a charge of 2 quid?

Yea, I guess all of the stuff adds up to Ł15.99 and they will either give you a free coke, or knock off 2 quid.

I went looking on their website for the prices, but they are not there.

Made me hungy though. Fuck

not even this mate.
2 liters of wine would be for 4 persons at least, just as well as 2 liters Pepsi would suit 4 persons at least.

this would be far too much alcohol or sugar if it's Pepsi... at this rate you'll end up like Americans really quickly...
anyone seen the "super size me" video? very interesting...

EDITED TO SAY : btw i never drink alcohol, and i hate wine, even if it's french or not.

B19-TRB, too slow

I think we would share that food between the two of us though, and probably still not finish it all - Louise doesn't eat much.

3 starters would seem a little over the top for a single person unless it was me or GurnE

I reguarly eat nearly that much at pizza hut in a single sitting, including that amount of pepsi, but im a fat coont

Still positively healthy compared to the amount of aspartame in the diet equivalent though of course!

my opinion is that drinking 2 liters of soda in one meal is far too much for good health, diet or not is the same ! soda is not quite a good thing for health, and 2 liters at once is far above what a body could assimilate...

Its ace mate, its a chemical that shouldnt even be in the foodchain really, got strong links to cancer, altzeihmers and all sorts of other things.

Just about the worst possible thing you can eat, the FDA in america tested it and decided that it should STRICTLY only be used as a tabletop sweetener as that is where people can govern how much they consume of it.

Then some other FDA top bod overruled the decision, made it legal for chuicking foods and then got himself a very well paid job at the company who make it, great stuff eh?
Then cause the yanks were stuffing it in everything, we allowed it over here too.

mate, i have to disagree on this. It's not the sugar, or the aspartam, or anything that causes bad health and weight gain.
It's just taking them in excess.
And 2 liters of soda in one meal is far two much, considering that what a body NEEDS to be healthy is 2 liters of WATER per DAY.

Of course mate, no one suffers problems from sugar in moderation.

Trouble with aspartame though is you dont know how much you are eating, its in almost every "convenience" or "diet" food going now.

true that with aspartam, it brings cancer and diseases, which is not the case of sugar if it's not taken in excess.
Diet is a commercial thing so that ppl think "oh it's diet so i can drink twice more of it"... and it works, ppl do like this
