CINCINNATI (AP) – The Domino’s pizza chain has given away nearly 11,000 free pizzas because of a never-used promotion that a Web customer stumbled upon. Tim McIntyre, spokesman for Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Domino’s, said Wednesday that the company had prepared an Internet coupon for an ad campaign that was considered in December but never activated.
McIntyre said somebody discovered that the code word “bailout” was good for a free medium pizza ordered online. The information quickly spread Monday night on the Web, until the code was deactivated Tuesday morning. The owner of 14 Domino’s locations in the Cincinnati area says his stores gave away more than 600 pies. Owner John Glass told The Cincinnati Enquirer that Domino’s promised to reimburse him for the pizzas.
MMMMM, Free Pizza!
“Hello this is George Tyrebiter cabined in 200R. I’ll have a pizza to go and, no anchovies. … Darn, they never come up into the hills!”
Name the origin of the quote for the big bucks!
Well, OK, just fame, no fortune.
Too bad you actually have to like domino’s pizza for this.
Bubbaray it comes from an old Firesign Theater album.I belive it was Don’t crush the dwarf and hand me the pliers.Sorry way to much hemp between then and now.I am already infamous so famous would be nice.
Don’t Crush That Dwarf… side 1.
Nitpicky….
“This is George Tyrebiter cabined in 200R. I want to order a pizza to go and, no anchovies. … Wha..what? they never come up here at all”
Yes, I have it on my system in .mp3 format…
For the other end of the conversation, check
All Hail Marx and Lennon(?)[don’t have the album cover] and The Adventures of Nick Danger
J/P=?
I’m impressed! Correct! Firesign Theater, Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers.
The cool part was side 2, where it was replayed in the Further Adventures of Nick Danger. “A pizza to go? Sorry, I spell my name, Danger!”
Kudos.

Actually Side 2 of ‘Dwarf’ was High School Madness…
Porgy – Tirebiter – he’s a spy and a girl delighter…..

AKA Rocky Rococco…?
Free is my favorite price.
Hmmmm…. Dominos. Throw away the pizza and eat the box. It taste better.
Darn, wish I caught that in time. You can ask for boxes for toppings if that’s your thing Ron, maybe you’ll like them better 😛
He’s just someone like you.
Papa John’s pizza is better, imo. Who also likes Papa John’s and which websites do you use for coupons?
We have Dominoes here in Australia. Once in a drunken stupor I called them for a delivery and was told they don’t deliver to my area. Sounds like I had a lucky escape.
11,000 pizza’s? They lost a whole $500 in the deal…maybe more if you figure in the price of the boxes.
Mmmm, pizza…
I’d rather have Papa Murphy’s take & bake
Uh-oh, now I’m hungry
