Pizza Hut has created a new way to get your favorite pie to you: through your shoes — Pie Tops II. Pie Tops I received so much popularity that Pizza Hut makes them available for sale, in more colors and more sizes than Pie Tops I.
I bought a pair of Pie Tops II and successfully ordered pizzas. It’s really cool and easy. Here’s something I did not expect when first wearing a pair of Pie Tops II: They are comfortable. Walking around in Pie Tops is perfectly fine.
There is a Pie Tops II app where users pair the shoes through Bluetooth. Users need a Pizza Hut account (账户) to place orders. Unluckily, you can’t order everything as you like, because it only accepts orders of Pizza Hut’s two medium pizzas for $5.99 each. To avoid the accidental pizza order, once you press, a message appears on your phone to tell you to make sure.
The Pie Tops II goes on sale for $150 on HBX.com. It is clearly a marketing stunt ( 营销噱头). Experts say the main goal here is to draw attention to Pizza Hut. Really, your interest in this not—very—serious product should come down to how deep your love is for Pizza Hut. Do you REALLY love their pizzas so much that you will always wear these shoes just to make it possible to order pizzas at any time with them? Then, sure, go ahead and splurge (挥霍).

Radboud University in Dutch dug a hole in the ground, which is called “purification grave (净化坟墓)”.
It is an invitation to think about what is really important in life. First dug in 2009, the grave was part of a two—year project. However, it made a comeback this year. Signing up (报名) to lie in the several—foot—deep hole for 30 minutes to three hours, every student at the university as well as those at the neighboring university may have a try. To make them pay full attention to things around and themselves, they mustn’t take phones or books with them in the grave. “We dug another grave in the garden,” said Radboud University. “You can decide for yourself how long you want to do this. Telephones and books in the grave are prohibited. It is a place for meditation (冥想). Under you the earth;above you the sky. See what goes through your mind. If you don’t want to lie in the grave, you can also sit near it.”
39 people took part in the 2009 project, but ever since the grave was dug in June, 2019, tens of people have already tried it. Every week, a few people use the grave.
