It's news to me, I work at a Pizza Hut, and yea the boxes are labeled The Hut, but we still have the same old signage, with no memos mentioning any change. And we sure aren't advertising for Twinterns, which only makes me think of twinkies for some reason...
Either that person writing that article had too much redbull and read too much into his pizza box, or someone at Yum has loose lips and an active imagination.
I will inquire and follow up...stay tuned!
