WASHINGTON 鈥� Pizza Hut is thinking outside of the box. Its new flick-football box comes with any medium pizza.
The box comes with a gridiron printed on the lid, goal posts, a score card and punch out football triangles, and Pizza Hut is tying it to an online contest for its customers.
It wants players to upload videos of the flick-football abilities to Twitter, and Pizza Hut will choose weekly winners for a free pizza. Categories include longest flick, most consecutive made flicks and most creative flick.
鈥淲e know our fans enjoy a little competition and we鈥檙e happy to provide a platform that lets them get in on the game in a whole new way while watching their favorite team,鈥� said David Timm, chief marketing officer for Pizza Hut.
鈥淭he box brings some excitement back to the classic Flick Football game.”
Flick football has been around for a very long time and also goes by names like paper-football, finger-football, Chinese-football and tabletop-football.
