In 1999, San Francisco’s Casa Sanchez offered free lunch for life for people who got tattoos of the Mexican restaurant’s logo. The sandwiches must be incredible, because the “Kindergarten,” a pretty classic-looking grilled cheese, goes for $7, which means you save about $1.25. According to a gallery on the chain’s website, at least 900 people have tatted the brand’s cheesy bread-and-crossbones logo on themselves for this deal. While Domino’s is one of the more high-profile global brands to pull this stunt, there’s a storied history of restaurants offering free food in exchange for walking human signage - or in the case of Melt, an Ohio-based grilled cheese chain, a more modest 25 percent off for life. It might seem funny at first glance, but it’s actually a pretty bleak statement on what brands are willing to do for some fleeting social media marketing buzz and the economic reasons people comply. There’s also been a trend of companies not-so-subtly encouraging employees to get tattoos of their employers’ logo. But offering free stuff in exchange for customers getting tattoos of a company’s logo is a different dynamic. People occasionally pay to ink things like the Harley-Davidson wings and Apple apples with no financial incentive from the brands whatsoever they truly just feel an affinity. Several people whom the paper interviewed got the tattoos because they needed the free food. Per the WSJ, “A stagnant economy has left average disposable incomes stuck around $500 a month” in Russia. The reason many of them chose to get red-and-blue logos tattooed prominently on themselves was not solely because of an overwhelming loyalty to MeatZZas™. In the end, 381 people qualified for the deal. The promotion was supposed to run for two months, but the pizza chain had to discontinue it after four days because so many people were willing to ink up.

In Russia, Domino’s Pizza offered customers “100 pizzas a year for 100 years” for free if they tattooed the company’s logo on themselves and then shared the image to social media with the hashtag #DominosForever, the Wall Street Journal reports. For almost 400 people recently, that reason was free pizza for life. It might have seemed like a failure, but at least the company has almost 400 walking billboards now.People get tattoos for any number of reasons. All in all, 381 people received certificates for free pizza before the promotion was cancelled. It only took five days for the company to put an end the contest, but by then, the damage was done. Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat were inundated with photos of Domino’s logo tattoos prominently displayed on arms, legs, and various other body parts. In this age of social media, it was obvious very quickly that this promotion wasn’t going to work out well for the pizza chain. The days of stigma surrounding the art form are long gone and young people covered in tattoos are as commonplace as pepperoni on the aforementioned pizza. It’s almost as if Domino’s did no research whatsoever on tattoo culture. In the least surprising news ever, Domino’s had to end the promotion prematurely after more than 350 people had the iconic logo tattooed on their body.

That is, unless you’re some kind of Highlander. That pretty much means that if you’re willing to get a tiny, meaningless pizza-themed tattoo, you can eat about two pizzas every week for the rest of your life.
Here’s what the contest boiled down to: any person willing to get a tattoo of the Domino’s logo would receive a certificate for 100 free pizzas every year for 100 years. The promotion was deemed “Domino’s Forever” and seemed like a fun way to get people to pay attention to the brand.

But luckily for the NFL’s Bills, they can swap out a bad idea (Nathan Peterman) for a potentially good one (Josh Allen) before it’s too late. Many NFL coaches take a look at their roster and decide that “on paper” all of the pieces seem to fit in perfect unison…that is, until the first game when they are manhandled 47-3 (we’re looking at you Sean McDermott and Buffalo). That’s a phrase that’s been uttered by many bummed out people over the years. By Christopher Osburn Sep 18th, 2018 Photo: Domino’s
