I wonder what the profit margins were for the triple decker compared to the stuffed crust. The process sounds a bit more involved for the triple decker. I really enjoyed the triple decker when it was out and I was probably in their prime demographic of my mid-teens. Oh how I miss metabolism.

I have read comments online from few people who worked at Pizza Hut and they mentioned that assembling them was a bit tedious.

Who better to promote a pizza with substance than the man who played Zorba the Greek?

Over the years we have certainly had lots of unexpected spokespeople, but the way they hyped this on in print before the Super Bowl, made me wonder if they had someone else in mind.

Getting Anthony Quinn for your Pizza Hut commercial is wild! I do remember this, but for some reason, I don't recall finding this appealing.

Yeah, I knew of Quinn. Had seen him act, but pulling him as the spokesperson and making a big deal about it in print beforehand seems odd. Not to diminish Quinn's accomplishments, but I wondered if they had another person they were trying to land and it fell through?

Interesting. I looked him up, he was doing episodes of Hercules and romantic comedies in this time, not sure if he would have been top of the list or not.

I worked there when this was introduced. I remember all the workers gathering around the kitchen to taste test and I loved that dang thing! I miss it so!
