Father of 300 millionth American to get year of Papa John's pizza

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Papa John's announced the father of the upcoming 300 millionth American will receive a free pizza for 52 straight weeks.

 

According to a news release, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the nation's population will reach the 300 million milestone on Oct. 17 at about 7:46 a.m. (EDT). In honor of this historic birth, from Oct. 17-31, Papa John's will extend a special offer to all American papas: Buy a large cheese pizza at regular menu price online at papajohns.com and the Papa will provide up to five free toppings.

 

"One of the toughest choices new parents face when they bring the baby home is what's for dinner," said Bill Van Epps, Papa John's president, United States. "While the baby will be showered with free gifts from companies all across the country, and Mom will be given products to ease her transition, someone needs to think of Dad. So Papa John's will make 52 special deliveries to the proud papa."
