A Pizza Hut spokesman said the difference between its slogan and Papa John's is that Papa John's ads compare its product with others and claim superiority. He said Pizza Hut made no such comparisons - reasoning that only President Clinton could embrace. The monetary damages are trivial. Apparently, even Judge Sanderson couldn't really figure out how Pizza Hut was damaged. Something else has been damaged, though.
American culture takes it on the chin as, once again, whining is rewarded.
Papa John's scares Pizza Hut -and with good reason. Papa John's sales are up 34 percent over the past year. For the three other major pizza chains, including Pizza Hut, growth was only 4 percent. Then, unsatisfied with the BBB decision, Pizza Hut sued. It should be ashamed.
