Spam up, for the taste of it, Spam Up, for that special meal, or an anniversary.

"Hi Darling, you know it's out 10 year anniversary"
"Why yes dear"[hopes for something really nice, and expensive]
"Well sweetums, I bought some chopped Pork & Ham, and I have sliced it, covered it in flour and water, and deep fried it" " It's a special treat"
"Please just * off you twat"


"It's made from only the finest cuts of mechanically recovered meats, blended with only the freshest and most fragrant ingredients money can buy. This isn't just any tinned meat. This is Spam."

Didn't Foot-Loose start this one? I suppose that doesn't mean it ISN'T spam...

Yes, but why do you think it reappeared? A spam post. That post has now been deleted, but cos people had already replied after it, the thread has remained here instead of just dropping back into the depths of time.

On topic for a mo, the whole "Pasta Hut" rebrand came to nothing then didn't it, from what someone told me it was an April Fools Joke, but another person told me they rebranded Pizza Hut to Pasta Hut in Ireland, either way the ad was stupid.

Papa John's are still the best by the way :D

According to wiki:

The name change was a publicity stunt held in conjunction with April Fools' Day, extending through the month of April, to promote the new Tuscani Pasta line and new Pizza Hut dine-in menu. In the United Kingdom, Pizza Hut announced it would be changing its name to Pasta Hut in October 2008, six months after the US 'April Fool' trial. This was announced as being a temporary name change to reflect the chain's new emphasis on healthier foods. On January 19, 2009, Pizza Hut announced that the Pasta Hut trial had ended and that the names of all stores previously converted to Pasta Hut would be converted back to Pizza Hut, following an online poll in which 81% chose to keep the Pizza Hut name.


Fascinating. *cough*

That's it, I knew I had heard it somewhere, :lol: looks like the British version didn't realise it was an April Fools gag, rebranded a few stores before realising that it was a gag, using the "healthier foods" line as an excuse, possibly ;)
