Somebody tell me this is a joke. Or a PR stunt.

Pizza Hut is changing its name to Pasta Hut.

Er, right.

This may just be a PR stunt as they put a load more pasta on the menu. But renaming a business is something you don’t do lightly.

Went to Pizza Hut last night and it was full of people stuffing pizza in their gobs. Not pasta. People told McDonalds they wanted more than just burgers, but you don’t see builders in there munching on a Caesar salad, do you?

Rename it Pasta Hut and I might eventually forget it still sells pizza, and get a Dominoes Pizza instead.

You can vote on the new Pasta Hut website whether or not you like the new name. As I write this, 79 per cent say no.

Whoops.

UPDATE: Read this Telegraph story and it says the company is changing the name on 30 branches… temporarily. Phew. They haven’t gone mad then.
