Oh, baby!
The social media games have already begun for Super Bowl LIII, as reps for Pizza Hut, the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, have announced that the chain will be presenting free pizza and tickets to next year's Super Bowl to the family of the first baby born after kickoff through an online contest.
The Texas-based chain announced the celebratory news on Jan. 29, which will commence with a proper social media hash-tagging contest on Super Bowl Sunday. The restaurant – which has temporarily renamed itself “Pizza Hut Hut” online and at one Atlanta location in honor of the highly anticipated game – promises that the dazzling promotion will “overdeliver” on Feb. 3.
