Tech - If you thought ordering a pizza online was easy and hassle free (because who really wants to talk on the phone these days?), then you’re in luck, because your antisocial world just got even more impersonal. Now you can order Domino’s by simply sending a tweet. Say you are scrolling through your Twitter timeline and suddenly get the urge for some stuffed-crust pizza. All you have to do is send a message to the chain’s Twitter account, @Dominos, with the hashtag  #EasyOrder, and your pizza will soon be on its way. Making it even easier to order through this new “tweet-to-order” system, you can actually place your order by just sending Domino’s the pizza emoji in a tweet.  To use the “tweet-to-order” system, consumers first have to setup the “Easy Order” feature in your Pizza Profile on the company’s website. This setup will allow you to add your Twitter account, so they can send over your pizza after you send them that pepperoni pizza emoji when cravings hit. “Domino’s will then send their Easy Order through an automated direct message, which customers must confirm,” Domino’s spokesman Tim McIntyre says. Pizza lovers can start ordering Domino’s by sending pizza emoji tweets on May 20.

 

How great is life? So great. You used to have to pick up the phone to order pizza. That was the worst. Having to talk to another human being and hoping they get it right because you can hear all sorts of shenanigans in the background, no thanks. Then came online ordering. The best. Click buttons, get pizza. No words exchanged. And now, drunken Twitter pizza deliveries. Plan your pizza order sober, send the Tweet drunk, and next thing you know, piping hot pizza you don’t even remember ordering is at your doorstep. The bad part of this is they send a DM to confirm your order. Don’t make me have to think about what I just did. I sent the pizza emoji. I sent it. That’s my binding contract. Making me confirm that I’m disgusting and want a large pizza at 1am is just cruel. Let the emoji speak for itself.
