Hopefully they'll get non-tainted food for a year.

Hopefully there's not some sort of Domino's Workers Mafia where these free-pizza-winners get black-listed so now ALL their free pizza can taste just like the ones from the now-infamous Domino's of Doom.

Good job!

I think by month two of free pizza, they'll be so sufficiently sick of it, they'll never eat pizza again.

I worked for Subway several years ago. I haven't had a sandwich, ANYWHERE, since.

This would be bad for business. Ironic. Free pizza = former customer.

last reward I would want.

Will each box come with an outline of the two dullards with a red line through them, indicating "no idiots touched this food"?

Boogers or not, it's still Domino's. Some like their pizza though.

Good work and congrats on the free food.

Since they are receiving coupons they could put them on ebay.

@Doug81: Your post is a load of marketing ideas for Dominos.

Dominos Pizza: Some people like our pizza.

@KyleOrton: They may want to go with "Boogers or not, it's still Domino's!" just in case this happens again.

I would ask for coupons to anwhere BUT Donmino's.
This still makes my stomach turn

This is a college student's dream.

@pecan 3.14159265:
Yes, Yes it Is.

*Wishes he had been one of the consumerist detectives*

@Snarkysnake:

Because no other fast-food restaurants have disgusting degenerates working in food prep.

Right...

*Burp* Tasted like cardboard...

Oops, that was just the coupons. ^.^'

It seems that Doe-min-ios has done a pretty good job at responding to this PR nightmare. Other companies need to make sure they take note of Domino's response before having some knee jerk reaction to any PR problems of their own.

@pecan 3.14159265: This is a college student's non-sexual dream.

@Doug81: Regardless, the commenters did awesome work and I can't wait to see what big consumer story we'll break apart next. Power to the people!

@Doug81:

I bet the market isn't very high for "THIS COUPON ENTITLES Ms. Miller TO A FREE PIZZA. * ID MAY BE REQUIRED." coupons. :)

I prefer going to one of the local pizza chains. The one I go to may be located in a sad little strip mall, but the pizza is good and you can see the employees in the kitchen.

Don't like the pizza? See if Dominoes will donate the equivalent dollar amount to charity instead.

@WOPDingo: I assure you, there's not. And if there was, the first two rules would be "Don't talk about the DWM."

@dragonfire81: Definitely. In making lite of Domino's and the situation, I didn't want to take away from the achievement of Amy, Paris, and Jonathan. That's why I complemented them on the work they did and congratulated them for their unexpected reward.

@WOPDingo: They name names! You on list, Elaine Benes!

@shepd: True, if they went that far.
If nothing else they can treat friends and family to alot of pizza.

@rpm773: Awesome idea. I wish more people thought like this, and like the "detectives" that figured this out!

@rpm773: Or a non-profit like The Consumerist.

Awesome.

If you want to be really cool you should [publicly] announce that you'll be giving your free pizza to your local feed the homeless or whatever charity. I know, not many people are into that, but do you really need a year of free pizza from Dominoes of all places?

It's good to see this stuff stopped, but why not really drive the message home... What the message is I am not 100% certain, but there ya go. :)

@gatewaytoheaven: But they'll be a hit at the next superbowl party!

@gatewaytoheaven:

I feel you, man. I worked at Microsoft for 12 years, and... aww, who am I kidding?

You should get therapy for your compulsive sandwich aversion anti-phobia. Do you get along well with your sister? ;)

The way these things work, probably their local Domino's franchise will claim they don't accept those coupons.

yes indeed, this is about like winning a free rectal exam and less useful.

But I like the idea of offering to donate the free pizza. And kudos to Dominos for ACTUALLY taking this seriously.

This reminds me of the W. C. Fields quote, "First prize was a week in Philadelphia. Second prize was two weeks."

@LesterGaze: wow, McD's for 12 years?? Are you going to therapy? :)

Wait - free Dominos Pizza for a year is a reward?!? Since when?

*Proud to be a Consumerist reader/commenter from the start*

@mbouchard: "Other companies need to make sure they take note of Domino's response before having some knee jerk reaction to any PR problems of their own."

Quoted for truth! I'm looking at YOU, Amazon.com!

@WOPDingo: Actually, I would find this HILARIOUS. Domino's Workers Mafia. I want to get a job at a domino's just so i can do this. Oh and so I can put boogers on your pizza.

@Android8675:

If it were me, I'd be keeping it, and eating it.

Interesting that the article dings Domino's for not acting sooner to have the video taken down. Someone needs to educate Ms. York on the the Streisand Effect.

Contact Tums...you are going to need it. Barf

@rpm773: yay for thinking of those in need.

Food charity bank would be great. Or like Meals one Wheels.

So let me get this straight:

We have a group of people catching kids in the act of tainting our fast food (something that we all know happens but have never been able to catch anyone doing)....and as a reward they get an unlimited supply of fast food for a year?

I know that there is some irony in there somewhere but I just can't seem to put my finger on it...

@WOPDingo: The story would be enough to keep me from eating there even for free!

I feel bad for Dominos because they are probably going to lose money, unfortunately, they won't have mine.

I really don't trust fast food right now :-(

@gatewaytoheaven: My sister worked at Long John Silver's in high school and hasn't touched the stuff in the 15 years since. Of course, neither does anyone else, judging by how dead the place always looks when I drive past it.

@El_Fez: Oh hush. Kudos to the e-detectives and for Dominos doing the right thing!

@gatewaytoheaven: Could always order pizzas for the office on a Friday, or for kid's birthday parties, the big game, etc. You could use them up on a few big events instead of a pie every week.

But I've taken my kid for a slice every Friday for nearly 7 years now (local pizza place, great sauce!) and he will never get sick of it. I'm sick of it, but my kid loves it and really looks forward to his weekly slice. Even if the reader doesn't use the coupon, surely some kids or friends will. ;-)

Say what you will about domino's food, but you have to admit they handles this whole thing very well.
