Title: Order a pizza with your exam
Post by: loulou on March 27, 2009, 03:25:48 pm: A cash-strapped American high school has agreed a deal to put pizza adverts on its exam papers and worksheets.
Students studying at Pocatello High School in Idaho will be targeted by a promotion for a local pizza shop's 14" one-topping special.

The Molto Caldo Pizzeria advert appears on all test papers, handouts and worksheets.

The promotion reads MOLTO'S PIZZA 14" 1 TOPPING JUST $5 in bright red, 2.5cm-high letters printed along the bottom of every page.

History and economics teacher Jeb Harrison dreamed up the scheme.

He believes the school will benefit from more than just a slice of the profits from the deal.

I couldn't concentrate on the exam for thinking about the pizza.

Thanks GC, but you don't really need any patience - I just hang the buggers out of the second floor windows by their ankles if they give me any cheek!
