There are 600 reasons to read this post

A few weeks ago Domino’s Pizza issued a news release about how their 4-4-4 pizza deal was a “Recession-Buster.”

When I read that release, I thought it couldn't be topped.

But apparently I was wrong because in a news release today Domino’s made a case for why Americans should spend their $600 refund check on “150 pizza meals.”

Just to show that they thought their proposal through, they offered several other options for what $600 could buy, including, “Nearly a half mile of fresh mint dental floss” or “685 yards (nearly seven football fields) of bubble wrap (for wrapping or stress relief).”

“If you're getting a $300 stimulus refund check, that means that you could buy 75 pizzas and make 132 meals out of it!”

Exactly.

Because when faced with the choice of either a giant roll of dental floss or 150 pizza meals, I too would opt for several hundred slices of pizza.

Then again - my check might be better spent on 300 boxes of Band-Aids because I kicked off a season of foot trauma last week when I wore a pair of flats without tights.

I also happened to skid across the last lane of traffic on Lexington Avenue because the flats didn’t have proper traction on the soles, but that’s really a story for another time - unless I decide to buy a dozen new pairs of flats.

With a pizza on the side.
