There are few things in this world that bring one joy like a good slice of pizza. Couple that with the magic of Christmas and you’ve got Domino's Japan’s newest venture.
Reindeer-delivered pizza.
What sounds like a hoax appears to have some truth to it.
According to their official statement, Domino's Japan anticipates the new delivery service will be implemented by December 1, well ahead of Christmas.
Working alongside Hokkaido Delivery Integrated Research Centre to ensure the animals’ safety and welfare, select outlets in Japan are training reindeer to deliver pizza in record time.
The goal is to see these reindeer strapped to self-driving sleighs fitted with GPS trackers, deliver boxes of cheesy goodness to homes across the Japanese island of Hokkaido.
Naturally, the internet has responded with utter incredulity.
For customers using the mobile tracker, the tracking icon of a bike will be temporarily changed to that of a reindeer, adding to the silliness of the silly season.
