27-6-2023 (LONDON) Domino’s recently made an unconventional pizza delivery at the Glastonbury music festival in England – using a jetpack. The stunt coincided with Elton John’s headline performance.
A Domino’s spokesperson told The Independent: “When we realised pitching up to serve slices inside the festival was impossible, we took inspiration from this year’s headliner to launch our own rapid delivery trial – it was a bit of a no-brainer.”
“Every year we see huge numbers of random requests from festival goers trying to sneak pizza into the party. So this year we wanted to…trial our very own rocket man service to help hungry campers get a slice of sky-high satisfaction in the future,” the spokesperson added.
The jetpack delivery certainly caught festival-goers’ attention. Natalie Dixon, who witnessed the event, said: “Seeing a jet suit thing fly over Glasto was wild. I’ve never seen a jet suit, let alone one delivering pizzas. I can’t wait to see one land on my doorstep in the future.”
However, the high costs involved mean jetpack deliveries may be more stunt than scalable service for now. Gravity Industries’ jetpacks cost around $483,000 and can only carry two pizzas at a time. But Domino’s left the door open, telling The Independent: “All we can say at this stage is that the idea has legs…or wings…or jets.”
