Good news to share as Pizza Hut announced they’ll be bringing back ‘Camp Book It!’ this summer! This should help incentivize kids to read over the summer!

The popular free incentive program will be running from June through August. Here’s more on the comeback below!

‘Camp Book It!’ Returning To Pizza Hut

For years, Pizza Hut has been encouraging kids to read with its long-standing ‘Book It!’ program. Now, the pizza chain will be rewarding young readers with free pizza during another year of ‘Camp Book It!’ according to People.

Looking to get involved? Whether it’s the free pizza or love of books that’s motivating you to get involved–it doesn’t matter! Enrollment is now open for both the summer program and the 2024-2024 school year program.

According to People, ‘Book It!’ is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary and is dedicated to encouraging reading across the country! I remember this from when I was in school and I’m sure in some way it helped shape my love for reading. Hopefully they can continue that trend and inspire a new generation!

What Is ‘Camp Book It!’ At Pizza Hut?

People shared an official mission statement that reads, “Our work is more than just a corporate mission, it’s a personal challenge to turn have to read into want to read. We know our time-tested incentives work. We are the largest and longest-running corporate supported reading program and now we are fostering the second generation of program alumni. We know that reading makes a difference.” A little braggy, but they make a good point. Few other brands have done as much as Pizza Hut has when it come to inspiring kids to pick up a book.

In the program, parents can set monthly reading goals within a digital dashboard and when kids reach these goals they are rewarded with Reading Award Certificates that are good for a free one-topping Personal Pizza Hut Pan Pizza. Mmm I love that greasy thick crust, there’s truly nothing like it.

Additionally, it doesn’t have to be books that your encouraging kids to read! It can be magazines, eBooks, comic books, anything to encourage the activity to teach them to enjoy reading and to not see it as a chore. According to People, participating children can only earn up to one free pizza each month that the program is running. So don’t get them to rush through books thinking they’re going to get unlimited pizza! The program is free to schools and parents to students in pre-K through 6th grade.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Fictional Foods From Movies And TV That Look Delicious

Have you ever seen fictional foods from movies and TV that actually end up looking delicious? Chances are you have encountered this at some point!

You expect food on shows like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Beat Bobby Flay on The Food Network to be mouth watering. They are actual dishes made by professional chefs and attract a real-life crowd. However, you don’t expect to find delicious looking food in cartoons or comedy movies. Have you ever seen fictional foods from movies and TV that you really wish you could try?

Fictional Foods From Movies And TV That Look Good

It can’t be explained but there’s something about some food in movies and TV shows that leave you end up wanting to try it. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s hyped up on the show or movie and you get some FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Another possibility is how we always want what we can’t have. These foods only exist within that specific worth in the show or movie. We can’t go out and order it from DoorDash or pick it up from a local drive-thru. In the real world, we’ll never be able to try these foods. Could that be what makes them look so tasty?

This can happen in live action movies or even in cartoons and animated content. In fact, some of the best examples that will be featured below on the list of the best fictional foods from movies and TV are from animations. It might sound strange, but you’ll be able to relate once you see it. It could be nostalgia but you’ll be left wanting to try these delicious treats.

For this list we wanted to focus on food you can’t find out there in the real world. Even though we wish we could! Maybe next time we can get a list going of the best fictional beverages. A glass of Star Wars Blue Milk, anyone? Check out the list of 5 fictional foods from movie and TV shows that look like they’d be good below! Are we missing any? Let us know!

  • Krabby Patty from "Spongebob"

    When I think about animated food that looks delicious the Krabby Patty is one of the first things to come to mind. It’s simple but there’s something about it. I see one and I turn into Plankton with my desire to obtain a delicious Krabby Patty. I’m surprised they haven’t opened Krusty Krab locations in real life. You could have the Krabby Patty, the Krusty Krab Pizza, there are so many possibilities! Let’s get it going!

  • Pizza from "A Goofy Movie"

    If you remember this movie, you remember that pizza. It was so cheesy it looked so good! The way it melted and pulls from the base–it’s truly mouthwatering. Few examples look better than that pizza. There’s something about that movie where even the Cheese Whiz looks good. Or is there just something about the timing of when I watch that movie? It always looks so good.

  • Ratatouille from "Ratatouille"

    Sure, it’s animated. However, nearly every dish featured in the movie looks tasty. The animation department really did their job. It’s set in Paris so there’s already pressure for the food to look like the best in the world–and they delivered. Even though most of the food featured in the movie looks good, none look better than the Ratatouille. Mmm.

  • Ed's Special Sauce from "Good Burger"

    What is in the sauce? What’s the secret? I always assumed it was just like Mac Sauce from McDonald’s. Maybe it’s more like Animal Sauce from In N Out? We know it has ketchup and lemon juice and tastes like lemonade and BBQ sauce because Ed says so in the movie, per Mama Plus One. However, we don’t know much more than that! I suppose that description would mean it is not like Mac Sauce so now I’m at a loss. It looked dangerously good in the movie from the reactions it got and I want some!

  • Scooby Snacks from "Scooby Doo"

    Are Scooby Snacks actually dog food? Does it matter? You can’t say part of you didn’t want to try them to see what all the fuss was about. Don’t act like you never tried dog biscuits just to see what they tasted like. They look really good in the shows and movies based on the reaction. Are they “special” treats? They could be! Okay, if you don’t want to try the Scooby Snacks then you can’t deny you want one of those mega sandwiches Shaggy and Scoob are always eating.
