...and now they've picked a name trademarked to Pizza Hut and used for one of their pizza products! Can Kraft redeem themselves from this king size blunder?

The answer to Sweetie's question is 'probably not'.
It does rather display a cavalier approach to traditional brands. Imagine what they would do to Cadbury's iconic brands if ever they were able to buy that business. Makes me want to don a gorilla suit and bash some drums!!
