When did pizza become political? Apparently last weekend in Logansport.
Our publisher went to Little Caesars in Logansport, Ind. to pick up a bunch of pizzas as a thank you for the fine work our friends at the Pharos-Tribune press do to make sure our print subscribers always have the best-looking newspaper around.
While waiting a surprisingly short time for a large number of pizzas to cook, the sign below the digital displays caught his eye.
“Who designed that sign? Why are three of the letters in a different color?”
Then, finally, like a cartoon character with a lightbulb popping on over his head, he noticed the discolored letters were D, E, and I, in that order.
Our publisher asked staff at that Little Caesars if the color of the DEI sign was altered as a corporate choice, or just by someone in the store. No one at the store was willing to discuss or even look at the sign behind them.
Repeated attempts to contact the communications manager at Little Caesars Enterprises, Inc. and Ilitch Holdings, the company that owns Little Caesars, were unsuccessful. On Thursday afternoon, the website with direct contact phone numbers and emails was mysteriously down, which was not true just days before when we first attempted to make contact.
Maybe that’s a coincidence.
If anyone from Ilitch Holdings or Little Caesars Enterprises, Inc. would like to answer our questions about this sign, they are welcome to email News@ReadTheReporter.com with a phone number and a good time to call.
Regardless, the DEI pies were a big hit with our friends at the press. It would seem they taste the same regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum.
