There's a misconception that breakups don't happen around Valentine's Day and Pizza Hut is addressing this with its hot and spicy Goodbye Pies.
The Tuesday before Valentine's Day has been dubbed Red Tuesday, a holiday centered around heartbreak since 45% of people agree that it's better to go their separate ways right before February 14th. Starting on Red Tuesday, Pizza Hut is launching limited-edition Hot Honey Goodbye Pies "to help deliver spicy news in a sweet way for free." A recipient will egt a spicy-sweet Hot Honey pizza in a special box with a personalized message to ease the discomfort of splitting up.
Through February 14th, Pizza Hut's Valentine's Day offering will be available in NYC, Chicago and Miami. Outside of these major United States cities, people can also use the Goodbye Pies website to request a breakup text written by Pizza Hut.
