‘Papa’ John Schnatter Didn’t Really Eat 40 Pizzas in 30 Days - Eater

"Deposed pizza king “Papa” John Schnatter has taken back a widely parroted claim he made last year while criticizing his former company, Papa John’s — that he ate 40 pizzas in 30 days and noticed a severe drop-off in quality. In fact, the ousted CEO now says, he sampled slices from 40 pizzas over a 30 day period — he did not finish every pie. “I’ve had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days, and it’s not the same pizza,” Schnatter originally said in November during an interview with his hometown TV station in Kentucky. “It’s not the same product. It just doesn’t taste as good.”" - Caleb Pershan
