CPK. Creative. Pizzas. Kinda.
When I think of the early 90s, I think of CPK. Of course I also think of Joey Lawrence on Blossom. But who doesn't, really? And New Coke. And we all know how that worked out. But CPK was innovative at the time. California cooking was all the rage thanks to one Mr. Wolfgang Puck. The BBQ Chicken Pizza won over droves of pizza fans. Quickly the Thai Pizza caught on and CPK quickly became initialized in American culture like KFC, PTA and FYI. Not much panache but dependable. Much like the Chevrolet Malibu. Or your lesbian neighbor. Could they use a bit of a makeover? Sure. But back in the day The Price Is Right set got one and nobody's loving that. So why bother.
