Question

【題目】 Pizza Hut has created a new way to get your favorite pie to you: through your shoes — Pie Tops II. Pie Tops I received so much popularity that Pizza Hut makes them available for sale, in more colors and more sizes than Pie Tops I.

I bought a pair of Pie Tops II and successfully ordered pizzas. It’s really cool and easy. Here’s something I did not expect when first wearing a pair of Pie Tops II: They are comfortable. Walking around in Pie Tops is perfectly fine.

There is a Pie Tops II app where users pair the shoes through Bluetooth. Users need a Pizza Hut account (賬戶) to place orders. Unluckily, you can’t order everything as you like, because it only accepts orders of Pizza Hut’s two medium pizzas for $5.99 each. To avoid the accidental pizza order, once you press, a message appears on your phone to tell you to make sure.

The Pie Tops II goes on sale for $150 on HBX.com. It is clearly a marketing stunt ( 營銷噱頭). Experts say the main goal here is to draw attention to Pizza Hut. Really, your interest in this not—very—serious product should come down to how deep your love is for Pizza Hut. Do you REALLY love their pizzas so much that you will always wear these shoes just to make it possible to order pizzas at any time with them? Then, sure, go ahead and splurge (揮霍). If you do not, then go on ordering pizzas by phone.
