To coincide with National Pepperoni Pizza Day and Freshers Week, Papa Johns launched a Pepperoni Pizza Diffuser to help students relax as they study with the scent of fresh pizza. This unconventionally scented home diffuser inspired by a best-selling pizza provides a sense of warm comfort and may inspire cravings for a hot slice.
A 2024 study of 1,000 UK adults and 250 UK students from OnePoll Research found that 87% experienced stress during their studies, and 98% admitted to feeling stressed at some stage during their university experience.
This limited-edition reed diffuser with a sweet and smoky scent with a hint of spice is up for grabs online, and directs students to a September deal for a free personal pizza when signing up for the Papa Johns student portal.
