Reflections on an Odd Life

Hot and Not

Two quick reviews from the past week:

• Pizza Hut’s new “Pizza Mia” is one of the most foul, most disappointing pizzas I’ve ever tasted. It’s an obviously frozen pizza warmed up with insufficient cheese, sauce, and bread. All the more disappointing because I normally love their pizza.
  
• Starbucks’s new Pike Place Roast is much better than their old burnt coffee. I never used to be able to drink their previous concoction but after sampling PPR last week I think I might start partaking from time to time. It’s still no “gourmet” coffee but it’s not swill.
