" If you own your pizza, you could qualify for a reverse pizza mortgage!"

Did anybody at all read the article?
666 people are enrolled in a trial system so that their pizza debts are collected from their estate when they die.
No interest rate or fees.
So…
Basically free pizza for life. It’s not predatory, And it’s insane to me that people post articles, even in a comment, without reading them. Because if you had read the article “predatory” would be the furthest thing for your mind. It’s just a gimmick promotion to increase sales
I definitely wish I was one of those 666 people

Fair enough.
And I apologize for the harsh tone.
I read the article you linked, and I was like “what’s this guy talking about”.
Have a nice day.

Shit, if everyone signs up for that what’s to stop them from going bankrupt before you have to pay? Also, what stops people from altering the will after the fact?

Well, they can sell your debt if they go down.

I’m sure companies will be lining up to take debt that pays out on the debtors death.

Right?! It’s just tricking people into spending money they shouldn’t.

That's like 99% of what marketing is.

Which is one of the many reasons why advertising should be illegal with very few exceptions.

It’s vile what we consider normal.

How do you define advertising?? How do you propose you inform people about your product?
