Domino's Pizza introduces a flying messenger 🤭 Rocket Man' via Jetpack It's a bird! It's a plane! Is this a pizza delivery? Domino's recently wowed concertgoers at the Glastonbury Music Festival in Somerset, England, By delivering the world's first pizza using Jetpack. "When we realized it was impossible to serve pizza inside the festival, we took inspiration from this year's headliner to launch our own express delivery trial - it was a bit of a no-brainer," said Domino's assistant director of public relations, Sam Wilson. "Every year we see a huge number of random requests from festival goers trying to sneak pizza into the party," added Wilson. "So, this year we wanted to try out our Rocket Guard service to help hungry campers get a share of future sky contentment." To make all of this happen, Domino's partnered with Gravity Industries , a world leader in jet suit manufacturing. A spokesperson for the tech company admitted the delivery was an "unusual use" of their suits, but said Jetpack-powered pizza could be the future of on-demand efficiency. "Keeping pizza hot using the jet suit is definitely an unusual use of our technology and pizza is not in our normal flight plan," the spokesperson said. "But being able to exceed the average delivery time by flying in the fields of Somerset to feed festival goers with the pizza delivery experts certainly shows the future of fast delivery service." Considering that Gravity Industry suits start at $400,000 each and can only carry two pizzas at a time, it's safe to assume that Domino's is unlikely to adopt this delivery method at scale anytime soon. However, with drone deliveries the norm, and now flying "rocket men" a reality, perhaps these futuristic services zooming overhead will be a common sight sooner than we think.
