As part of a summer tie-in with the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie coming August 8th, Pizza Hut has built a life-sized, fully-operational version of the Pizza Thrower (some of you might remember the toy from back in the '80s). Move over drone delivery?

The Pizza Thrower can be seen at Comic-Con in San Diego (July 24 to 27), where attendees can line up to man the turret and fire off faux Pizza Hut Cheesy Bites pizzas at targets and enemies of the Ninja Turtles (they'll also be able to eat some real Cheesy Bites Pizza, while they wait).

They’re all bloggers who have collectively reviewed thousands of products from store shelves and fast food menu boards (I just realized that I may or may not have reviewed over a thousand products myself...).

Neat! Pepsi Pranks Bus Stop Commuters with Giant Robots, Aliens, and Tigers

In support of their current "Unbelievable" marketing campaign for Pepsi Max in the UK, Pepsi had commuters at a London bus stop seeing giant robots, falling meteors, and various other "unbelievable" happenings as they looked out the side of the bus stop.
