PIZZA HUT'S 2020 TRIPLE TREAT BOX IS THE MOST FESTIVE YET!

PIZZA HUT 2020 TRIPLE TREAT BOX REVIEW!

Grimey

One thing I love to death is restaurant holiday tie ins. I don't care if it's a vanilla milkshake with a ton of purple food coloring, a complimentary glass with festive holly leaves or a fancy orange or cinnamon and apple dipping sauce to dunk heavily processed chunks of chicken meat in; if it's a holiday tie in item, I'm here for it! Which brings me to my latest obsession; the 2020 Pizza Hut Triple Treat Box! I say 2020 because there have been others before but none near as beautiful as this one.

I'll start with the advertisement on Pizza Huts website (shown above in the header); If that doesn't scream vintage Christmas to you then get the hell outta here! It's the most aesthetically pleasing Christmas ad I've seen in a very long time. The dim lights from the Christmas tree in the background, the font color and style they chose to use, the snowflakes.... all the vibes OOZING Christmas every which way possible! This ad practically has me believing in Santa all over again.

Now, I don't have TV so I had to scour YouTube for the goods (shoutout to YouTube user: Usfoods72 for uploading) but the commercials are every bit as good as the ad, if not better. They're hitting all the nostalgic notes with this one; if you've visited a Hut in the early 90s and late 80s, that tree topper and the ornaments shown should be familiar as heck. For anyone who isn't aware, those are the classic chandeliers, table set and plastic red cups from Pizza Huts of old. My mind is officially blown! The only thing missing is a pack of crayons to draw all over your place mat with. I barely even thought to check for a commercial spot and I'm 100% glad I did.

So, I had to order this thing. We're still in the thick of Covid19 season so I ordered this bad boy online to be delivered contactless 1. because it's safe 2. because I don't like confrontation with strangers and 3. I find comfort in wearing long underwear and slippers to get pizza sitting at the front door without judgement. At the honk of a car horn, this beautiful red and white sweater pattern box arrives sitting ever so peacefully on my front porch feeling like an actual gift from the big man himself; a stunning red box with food that will most definitely burn at least 5 layers of skin clean off the roof of my mouth because I never learn from my mistakes. As I said before, this deal has been done a few times but never with this festive of a container. This years makes all the rest look embarrassing. The artwork lacked that true Christmas vibe that I feel this one absolutely nails.

The deal itself is pretty good in my opinion; 2 medium 1 topping pizzas, 5 breadsticks, 10 Cinnabon cinnamon rolls smothered in a pound of Cinnabon icing all for the lovely price of $20.99. I believe with the tip, and extra charges (because I added an extra topping) it came a little over $30 but I was able to skip making dinner after work and write a couple hundred joyful words about festive pizza boxes; so, I call it a win win. And yeah, boil it all down, its just a fucking box but inspiration strikes where and when it does. Plus, it's 2020 after all and simple things like this make all the difference. Depending on who you ask, I may or may not have danced around just a little bit carrying this thing in my house. Thanks for reading!
