Firstly, well done to me for not spelling pizza with a ‘t’ stuck in the middle of it ! (Mmmm, pitzza!) Secondly, when I picked up supper last night at Pizza Hut, the lady sprayed both of them with a can of ‘spray’. And I was wondering what it was (too shy to ask!). Is it to make it look prettier, taste better or even kill the germs!?? Oh (got it in France by the way) ---

You should go back and ask—or, at least call. Then, report back—I’m all curious now. ---

A little spritz (there’s your “tz” fix, by the way) of olive oil, perhaps? ---

I will go with Butter or Olive Oil. Remember this is comming from the same resturant that “invented” the; Lovers Line Stuffed Crust Pizza Double Deckeroni Pizza Triple Decker Cheese Pizza “Bigfoot” Pizza Full House XL pizza 4 for all Pizza The most recent Strip/Dip pizza So anything to make Americans, and the French more fat, seems right down PH’s alley. ooh… What about the French Fry / Frosty Pizza ? -No, no place for the butter. ---

Wow, it’s pretty rough when someone from West Virginia is making deodorant jokes about France. Anyway, are we still doing that whole make-fun-of-France-over-deodorant thing ? That’s so last millenium. ---

Several people seem to believe it’s a garlic spray, and ask where they can get some: [http://www.pmq.com/cgi-bin/tt/index.cgi/noframes/read/4023](http://www.pmq.com/cgi-bin/tt/index.cgi/noframes/read/4023) There is such a commercial product available, consisting of vegatable oil with garlic in an aerosol can: [http://parway.com/prodspec2.asp?ProdID=8](http://parway.com/prodspec2.asp?ProdID=8)
