Pizza Hut



What the ad would have meant is, approach the Pizza Hut delivery guy if you want quick medical care (synonymous to their faster delivery) but it also has the connotation that medical care should accompany the Pizza delivery guys coz they are prone to accidents due the kind of ride they make on two wheels. What do you think of this ad? Is it a wonderful ad that effectively conveys the faster delivery service of Pizza Hut or does it show the opposite of what it is intended to convey? Or is there anything else that comes to your mind on seeing this? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
