30 Minutes or it's Free

Felt like a very old man today as I was speaking with a customer and I said this. He laughed and said he hadn't heard that in about 20 years. We got to thinking that's probably true - I don't know when that died out but it's dead now.

I remember my parents ordering pizza and we'd set the timer.

I'm not sure anything has replaced it either. Maybe 30 minutes now seems like a long time?

You've been smoking 4Aces menthol in that Irish Harp again, haven't you?

Domino's ended its 30 min guarantee because their delivery drivers ran over too many people! Domino's - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino%27s#30-minute_guarantee

30 minutes or it's free, without GPS or cell phones. Just a map and knowledge of the area. Amazing.

That's long enough to forget you ordered it. "Holy shit, there's a pizza at the door!"

Goes well with keeping kids off my lawn

We seldom order pizza. Recently ordered from our local Pizza Hut who said it would be there in 45 minutes. An hour and a half later, no pizza. I was fuming and decided I'd drive the whole 10 blocks there and demand $ back. Just as I was about to head out the back door to do that, they showed up at the front door with it.

It was only Dominoes that had 30 minutes or free. They pre-make the pies and just throw toppings on them and run. For the most part, this made their crust suck.
Little Caesars had the decades long run of two pizzas for the price of one, but unfortunately Little Caesars made both of them, so doubling your nastiness wasn't exactly a win.
Pizza Hut Was good, but they were always the slowest, probably because they actually made a good tasting pizza.

I guess I am the last person to realize that Domino's isn't offering this deal. I guess I should pizza delivered more often.
