Hey did anyone order a pizza? Hey, did everyone order a DJ?
Just when we thought that Burger King’s new Whopperito would be the zaniest fast food creation to hit the drive-thru this week, along comes Pizza Hut with a playing DJ pizza box. Which is super convenient because now if some dude or gal rolls up to a party with a stack full of pizza, he or she can now drop some sick beats straight from the cardboard.
No joke.
As noted by Fact Magazine, Pizza Hut’s new DJ box was created by printed electronics specialist Novalia, which designed the conductive ink setup with two decks, pitch control, volume control and crossfader. More from Fact:
“The battery-powered box syncs with your computer or phone via Bluetooth and connects to any MIDI compatible DJ software such as Serato DJ. It lets you scratch and rewind tracks, and it’s even got a sync button. As Rinse FM’s DJ Vectra shows in the video below, the box seems to work pretty well. What it doesn’t explain is how well the controls are going to work when they’re covered in mozzarella and pizza grease.”
Unfortunately for all the Jeff Spicoli DJs here in the States, the Pizza Hut DJ box might take a while to drop across the Atlantic. It’s being rolled out in five select locations in the United Kingdom — where grime as a topping truly does cost extra — and no proper release date has been set. Watch the demo video below.
