Pizza "Hat"

Will and I went to a Pizza Hut in Germany recently and were extremely amused to find that the back of the menu had an explanation of the restaurant's name to help clear up a common cause of confusion. In German, the word "hut" is pronounced like "hoot" and means "hat," so most Germans assume that "Pizza Hut" means "pizza hat." The very hatlike Pizza Hut logo does nothing to dispell this belief, so the company decided to print the explanation on the back of menus.
