Pizza Hut Mini Basketballs Just in time for NCAA March Madness, Pizza Hut announced the return of a beloved offering from the 1990s: mini basketballs. These new mini basketballs feature a black and red pattern with “No One Out Pizzas The Hut” in the brand’s classic font. Only available for a limited time, the nostalgic offering was joined by the resurgence of another Pizza Hut item: the Big New Yorker. The Big New Yorker, a 16-inch New York-style pizza, came with specialty March Madness packaging at participating locations. The pizza box turns into a basketball hoop and backboard that pairs perfectly with the new mini basketballs. 2. Baked Lay’s & Subway Footlong Chip After the success of its first-ever footlong cookie, which debuted on National Cookie Day last year, Subway continued to fuel its fans’ love for footlongs by partnering with Frito-Lay to deliver its first-ever 12-inch chip. This next world-famous snack staple debuted just in time for National Potato Chip Day. While supplies lasted, fans could add on a Baked Lay’s Footlong for free with a purchase of a Subway Series footlong meal. 3.
