Introduced: August 2025

Location: Pizza Hut China

To celebrate the 9th anniversary of TYPE-Moon's gacha mobile game Fate/Grand Order, Pizza Hut in China created a pizza the iconic Artoria Pendragon might wield.

The Promised Victory Sword Curry Pizza was a blade-shaped cheesy curry-flavored pizza with mushrooms, peppers, onion, and pineapple*. The curry flavor profile is derived from how the Chinese pronunciation of Excalibur, Artoria's sword, sounds similar to "curry stick", the latter being a playful name that FGO fans in China have given the weapon.

Exclusive tie-in merchandise featuring the characters Artoria, Ereshkigal, and Merlin was also available, including but not limited to mouse pads, an Excalibur umbrella, a plush toy, acrylic standees, and finger puppets. Prizes were dependent on the size of the overall meal ordered.

Customers could also receive prizes if they entered the restaurant with a sword-shaped objected and shouted "Excalibur!"

*For the life of me I cannot determine what kind of meat is on this pizza. Outside of the cheesy curry blend, nothing else is specified in the marketing. I'm only confident on the mushrooms, peppers, onions, and pineapple because they're easy to see on the promotional image. People on Reddit say the meat is pork, but this is unverified, and I don't want to put anything on the record that I'm not 100% confident in.

What if there was a ghost in the opera house that was killing people?

Requires you to accept the existence of ghosts, but otherwise is a straightforward story.

What if the chief contractor who built the opera house was a deformed circus freak who used his experience building palaces and torture chambers for sultans to keep building secret passageways and torture chambers in the basement when construction halted during the Franco-Prussian War, and then kept living down there working on an opera and killing and blackmailing people who crossed him and also training a pretty opera singer that he wants to marry?

My father sent me a guardian angel from Heaven to guide and comfort me in his absence: "Okay, not something that happens every day, but that is what guardian angels are supposed to do and Dad did indicate something like this would happen."

Introduced: January 2025

Location: Wetzel's Pretzels

To promote DreamWorks' latest film, the adaptation of Dav Pilkey's Dog Man, Wetzel's Pretzels fused two flavors together to create the ultimate frozen drink.

The beverage, dubbed the Supa Blue Raspberry Frozen Lemonade, was made with layered blue raspberry slush and frozen lemonade.

Wetzel's Pretzels also served Dog Bites (renamed Mini Pretzel Dogs) and Pizza Bitz in a limited edition Dog Man-branded cup.
