This story gives new meaning to pizza on the go. Pizza Hut just released a limited run of 'smart' basketball sneakers that allow the wearer to order a pizza with the press of a button. The pizza chain created 64 pairs of the "Pie Top" sneakers, that feature a secret pizza ordering button in the tongue, to celebrate the upcoming NCAA College Basketball tournament. "Designed by the Shoe Surgeon, the Pie Tops are a special-edition sneaker that uses Bluetooth technology and geolocation so wearers can get their favorite pizzas quickly ordered and delivered, with just the press of a button on the shoe's tongue," Pizza Hut's website states. Pizza Hut said a "handful" will be released to the public. I heard Coke is going to make a baseball cap with sensors so all you have to do is think of a Coke and one will be delivered

I bet they become instant collector item with all the sneaker collectors out there. If it gains traction (no pun intended), I bet the technology spreads to other markets.

It does not move me but if it generates buzz for the business imagine Pizza Hut suits get excited by it.

Weird...I heard McDonalds and such are creating an app so you can pre order and have curbside service?
I don't know what to make of that.
