The Chronic Consumer

Ohio residents, don’t forget that today is your chance to score a large, one-topping pizza from Papa John’s for just 23 cents! This special sale is the chain’s “apology” to Cleveland Cavaliers fans after a Papa John’s franchise in Washington, D.C. printed t-shirts calling Cavs superstar LeBron James a crybaby because of his complaints about hard fouls during the first round of the NBA playoffs.

The special Papa John’s 23 cent pizza sale is currently available at 86 stores in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, and Youngstown.

Early reports indicate that people are waiting up to 2.5 hours for the 23 cent pizzas. That seems pretty outrageous to me. Isn’t your time worth more than that? If you make, say, $10 per hour at work, you’re essentially giving up $25 to wait that long for a pizza. But I guess most people don’t look at it that way; they just see the 23-cent price tag.

At any rate, good luck to those of you who live in Ohio. Buy several pizzas and freeze them for later!
