Would You Like a Proposal With Your Order?

Valentines’ Day Marriage proposals - Romantic or Tacky? 
With the infamous holiday approaching, many brands and stores are emphasizing how they can make popping the question more special with their rings/flowers/romantic venues etc.

But why waste your time and effort planning it all by yourself when you can get everything you need with an all-in-one proposal package at Pizza Hut?!

...Yes Pizza Hut.

So, the fast-food chain have decided to offer customers a "Tie-the-Knot with a $10 dinner box” package complete with limo service, flowers, fireworks, a videographer, a ruby ring (what, no diamonds?!?) and of course, the all-important dinner box, apparently the “most vital and appetizing piece of the package.” Ten lucky people will be able to avail of this limited promotion for the very specific price of $10,010 (tax and tip not included...)

...Classy

"If we're able to fit pizza, breadsticks and dessert into one box for only $10, why stop there?" Pizza Hut Chief Marketing Officer Kurt Kane asked.

While I get everyone's ideas of romance are different, I can't help but question the idea of being proposed to over a greasy, pan pizza in a crowed pizza place with florescent lights shining down on a ruby ring that matches the marinara sauce you’re chowing down. While it's probably a good deal financially, would you really want to look back on your engagement and have bread sticks be a talking point?

I’d seriously feel sorry for the poor girl who is “lucky” enough to have the opportunity to tie the knot in a “Pizza Hut-themed wedding at Pizza Hut headquarters.”

I kid you not.

While I’d definitely draw the line at a Pizza- Hut themed proposal, I'm a sucker for the cheesy, public non-traditional ones....

Surviving RAG Week...

Had a little too much fun last night and feel like you’re being brutally tortured? 

Unless your one of those abnormal freaks who doesn’t get hangovers, your body is mercilessly punishing you. You’ll definitely need some reinforcements to help reduce the severe, dehydration, cutting blindness and throbbing pain from the knife that’s stabbing your head.

Some say the best cure for a hangover is to avoid drinking. But it's RAG Week people, not an option.

This year we’re "responsible" Final Year students and may even have to venture into lectures during RAG Week (the horror, I know.) As I’ve been preparing for the week ahead, I can’t help thinking how I’m going to try and resemble a human being for my 9am lectures.

Here’s a checklist to avoid looking like Zach Galifianakis for the next week.

1.       Water…and lots of it – Winner of all hangover cures. No matter how much you think you’ve drank, always drink more.

2.       Shower – Seriously, not one to skip. Think of the person who has to sit next to you for that double lecture.

3.       Make – up – Requires effort but unfortunately needs to be applied. FYI, this is just for the girls – a face full of makeup on a guy might not be the best idea if you’re trying to tone down the hangover.

4.       Denial – Try convincing yourself you’re not about to die. Reassure everyone you meet that you “Feel fantastic – no hangover!” Never know, might work.

5.       Find some friends – Suffering in groups usually eases the dreaded “fear.”

Ta – da!! Sure, you couldn’t exactly run a marathon or anything but at least you’re able to function in society.

One hangover down, 5 more to go!

Mission accomplished – time to head over to the New Bar to get an early start on tonight’s plan.

You: 1, RAG Week: 0  (for now...)
