Pizza was once used as an unlikely tool to predict major global events.
In the 1990s, Frank Meeks, who owned more than 60 Domino’s stores around Washington D.C., noticed a strange pattern. Every time the U.S. government was preparing for a major operation, pizza orders from buildings like the Pentagon and the White House would suddenly spike. Workers were staying late to monitor and plan, and pizza became their fuel.
He called this phenomenon the “pizza meter,” and over time it lined up with historic moments like the invasion of Panama, the People Power Revolution, the Gulf War, and the night of a major operation in 2011.
A simple pizza order…
Turning into one of the weirdest indicators in history.
