Pizza Hut Salutes Quarterbacks for Their 2013 Super Bowl Commercial
We're having a 'Usual Suspects' moment here. The whole time we've been hearing quarterbacks yelling "hut," we thought it was a football thing. Turns out it's just been one gigantic advertisement for Pizza Hut the whole time.
Best Super Bowl 2013 Commercials
