    Pizza Hut offers Valentine’s engagement package for $10,010

    If you're looking for the perfect way to propose tomorrow, but still haven't figured it out, Pizza Hut wants you to know nothing makes a woman say yes quite like cheesy breadsticks.

    The U.S. pizza giant is hoping to help people propose with a Valentine's Day package. However, a warning to Canadian ladies: the offer is not available here so don't expect to be surprised by it tomorrow.

    The package includes:

    • A red ruby ring
    • limo service
    • flowers
    • fireworks show
    • photographer
    • videographer
    • $10 dinner box

    The dinner box includes a medium one-topping pizza, five breadsticks, marinara sauce and 10 cinnamon sticks with extra icing.

    And all of this could be yours for $10,010 sparking one comedian to joke it should also come with $9,700 in cash.

    "If we're able to fit pizza, breadsticks and desert into one box for only $10, why stop there?" asked Pizza Hut CEO Kurt Kane in a statement. "Our customers want the best of everything, from their food to memorable life experiences. So we decided to make one of those experiences - the marriage proposal - second-to-none."

    There are only 10 packages available for the deal even though hundreds of people have reportedly inquired.

    Pizza Hut is not the only pizza chain offering a Valentine's Day package. For those living north of the border, Pizza Pizza is offering what they call the "The cheesiest Valentine's Day present ever". It includes a heart-shaped vegetarian pizza and for a few more dollars you can get an apple crumble caramel cheesecake. The price is a lot less, but it doesn't come with a ring or fireworks.

    According to an American Express survey, four million Americans expect to propose or be proposed to on the holiday, even though that is double the number of couples who actually married in all of 2008.

      I prefer my hubby's taste in rings rather then some stranger from a business that I never met. When he proposed, it was perfect, something money can't buy, not even 10K. Guys, she doesn't need a 10K proposal, you can do it for a lot less, and have it be more from the heart.

        the fireworks, if its a real show, cost a lot more than that.
      • mjp 3 months ago
        The photographer will be more too, at least $1000 - $2000, probably the same for the videographer.

      They got the publicity they wanted. They know what they sell is crap.
    • Barb D  •  3 months ago
      I cannot believe they added $10 to the cost for the food. For $10,000, couldn't they have covered the food themselves?
      • The Movie Sounds 3 months ago
        It's a pricing gimmick intended to get your attention, which it looks like it did.
    • unknown  •  3 months ago
      10$ dinner box? That is like saying eat dirt after paying for an ounce of baluga caviar.
