Pizza Hut loyalty points send man spiralling into depression

Pizza news: A middle-aged man’s life was sent spiralling into a bottomless pit of depression, after a Pizza Hut loyalty scheme highlighted just how much pizza he’s eaten in the last six months.

“I thought I just had pizza as an occasional treat,” said Scott Bergren. “But thanks to the loyalty points I’ve racked up I’m only too aware I’ve eaten pizza every other day for the last half a year.”

“Oh God, my life is such a horrible mess. But at least I’m entitled to a free Pizza Hut branded iPod.”

Bergren, who only just realised he was on first name terms with the Pizza Hut delivery man, says the iPod will come in handy as he’ll load it up with really depressing songs by such artists as Adele and Leonard Cohen – then sit in a darkened room softly sobbing to himself while tucking into a stuffed crust BBQ meat feast pizza.
