Papa Johns is set to drop its newest non-fungible token (NFT) collection even if there was a warning from the United Kingdom’s advertising regulator. Papa Johns is releasing a collection of 19,840 NFTs that have been minted on Tezos and will be launched in the form of nine pizza hot bag designs.
It was reported that the pizza brand’s campaign fell into conflict with the country’s Advertising Standards Authority that, considered the company’s NFT effort to be irresponsible because it supposedly took advantage of the customers’ inexperience or gullibility and played down investment in cryptocurrency. But despite this, Papa Johns new NFT release is pushing through.
The pizza chain will not be selling the digital tokens, but it will be giving them away to its customers in the U.K. According to CoinDesk, the Papa Johns NFTs are dropping on several dates this month. The number of the NFTs, which is 19,840, is said to be inspired by the year when the pizza brand was first established in 1984.
Thus, some of the hot bags will feature designs with the words “Papa 1984” and “Papa Cheese Melt.” The former is a design inspired by Gen Z’s love for streetwear and it will be available in three colors. The latter is a design that honors the 1980s graffiti artists and all of these were created by NFT designer Tom Hoff.
“There is so much global hype surrounding NFTs right now, but not everyone understands what they are or how to get one,” Papa Johns’ vice president of international marketing, Jo Blundell, said in a press release. That is why Papa Johns is delighted to be bringing NFTs into the mainstream, making them available for pizza fans, digital art collectors and meta-professionals alike. In the short time it takes to order a pizza, people can get their hands on one of nine uber-cool NFT hot bag designs.”
Meanwhile, this is not Papa Johns first venture in crypto and NFT, as it previously launched a promotion for customers where they can win Bitcoins when they spend more than £30 or around $39 at the restaurant. Finally, customers who will redeem the restaurant’s NFT between March 1 and April 12 will also get one physical version of the hot bag.
