Hasta La Gadget!

In all the years of the Star Wars franchise, we’ve never seen a droid eat a thing. As a matter of fact, we’re not sure when any of the Rebel or Imperial soldiers take time out of their busy days to eat either. Now, R2-D2 can add one more ability to his ample bag of tricks – delivering hot and delicious pizza. Now, maybe the Rebel Alliance will get a leg up, since they’ll finally have something in their bellies.

This R2-D2 pizza box was spotted at Domino’s in Japan, and it’s a perfect likeness of everyone’s favorite little garbage-can-on-wheels-cum-droid. Apparently, it was the only good thing to come out of last years 3D re-release of The Phantom Menace. Why would anyone think that Jar Jar in 3D would be a good idea?

Like other aromatic foods, a good way to sell more pizza is to get folks smelling it. If they smell pizza, they will be more likely to want pizza. And so, in Brazil, Dominos has partnered with advertising firm Artplan São Paulo for their latest campaign. They teamed up with 10 local DVD rental stores and replaced the labels on popular films with a special heat-activated one.

The label looks like a regular label. You can’t tell the difference. But as it spins and heats up, the label changes and is replaced with the image of a pizza. If that isn’t enough to make you want to buy a Dominos pizza, the label also releases the smell of a fresh pizza.

And if that still isn’t enough, it is printed with “Did you enjoy the movie? The next one will be even better with a hot and delicious Domino’s Pizza.” Pretty creative advertising. I wonder what costs will be passed on to renters for the privilege of your DVD player smelling like pizza.

A huge number of gamers all around the world live on a steady diet of digital kills, pizza, and caffeine. The problem for a lot of gamers comes when you’re right in the middle of a heated match, you’re hungry, and you don’t want call and talk to the people at the pizza place to order your favorite pie.

I was just talking about one wonderful edible creation by Rosanna Pansino, when I stumbled onto another. When trouble rolls into Westeros, the best way to calm tensions between the warring families is with a peace offering. I mean a piece offering – as in a piece of pizza.

These Game of Thrones pizzas were topped with pepperoni, black olives, cheese, chicken, and ham. I immediately recognized the tasty sigils of the house of Baratheon, Stark, and Targaryen. I’m not too sure about the pepperoni Lannister lion though, – it looks more like a bear to me, and I know the Mormonts aren’t deserving of a pizza Sigil of their own – at least not yet.

Rosanna, I think I’m officially in love with you. You know they say a the way to a geek’s heart is through his stomach, after all.

The Daleks are the most fearsome creatures that the universe has to offer. They must be since they keep “almost” destroying Earth, the universe and everything in it. The Doctor has known no stronger foe. And now, feast your eyes on the supreme Dalek with extra cheese.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was during the great time war that the Doctor banished the Daleks from time itself. However, unbeknownst to him, one Dalek survived in the resulting chaos as an un-reality bubble landed in a pizzeria just as a baker was flinging some dough. The Daleks had their agent for their eventual return. The extreme supreme extra cheese, full-pepperoni Dalek was born.

If they can not kill us from without, they would kill us from within. Dalek pizzas were made. With heartburn searing human insides so intensely that humans turned to ash after two hours of digestion, they began their plan for domination (and a thriving pizza chain named Taste of Skaro). Their plan would have worked perfectly. If only that damned blue box hadn’t shown up to pick up an order. And that was the end of the great Dalek pizza master plan.
