They rely on credit cards to pay more than other consumers
They tend to order two large pizzas at a time, and they're usually specialty pizzas
They are more likely to order online, and more likely to pick up their orders
Democrats
Rely on delivery more than Republicans
Pay cash more than other consumers
Like more variety with their orders, opting for side items, chicken and beverages more than Republicans
I'm registered as an independent, but if I analyze my own Domino's ordering habits, I'm not sure where I'd fall on this spectrum. Unlike Republicans, I never pick up from Domino's, but I do use a credit/debit card to pay, which is a GOP tell. Like the Dems, I have been known to order a chicken side at times. And, like the Republicans, I order online from Domino's.
But, for the most part, 98 percent of my pizza purchases are non-Domino's. So I'm going to say that puts me squarely in the independent camp.
Oh, and let me formally introduce you to Patriotic Slice Dude (above). His pet cause is urging people to vote. Mouse over him to read his message.
Hmmm.. i mostly make my own pizza. But in this small town of mine, I order dominos every few months. I am exactally with the republicans. O order online, pickup my food and pay with a credit card. The less i have to deal with humans the better. Pay at the pump is rad.
I've heard a lot of talk that Papa John has been pallin' around with terrorists, but this site is obviously too afraid to mention it. When will Slice stop it's liberal bias and let us know the truth about "Papa" John Hussein Schnatter?
Dominos makes shitty pizza. I'm sure their research is shitty as well. This research suffers from the well-known self-selection bias, i.e., only those people who tend to order from Dominos are polled. Anyway, support your local mom-and-pop pizza joint. Dominos needs to be out of business.
@holdthemayo: Yeah. The Slice Dude family of dudes are sort of like Snoopy and his brothers/cousins from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. They all sorta look the same, just with slightly different physical characteristics and personalities. Here's the line-up so far: Slice Holiday Graphics.
@holdthemayo: I hope this doesn't make me out to look sexist, but I've never created a female slice icon. I thought about it for Valentine's Day, and maybe I will do so this year. I don't know what I'd call a female slice character. Pepper Oni? Pepper O. Nee?
I don't know how I'd make a female slice character, either. I thik Robyn Lee could probably help out. Maybe eyelashes and a lipstick mouth a la Ms. Pacman? That in and of itself seems sexist. Who knows.
And now that I'm really thinking about the pantheon of Slice characters, I'm not sure if I prefer the idea of many separate slices each with their own personality or the idea that it's just plain Slice Dude dressed up in costume. Clearly I'm going to have to think about this.
@Adam...Naw, I don't think it's sexist that you haven't created a female slice icon. She could be the Slice icon with hearts for eyes.
The naming could get dicey...That's where women might get offended. As a grown woman, I don't get offended by being referred to as a 'girl' or a 'chick' but a lot of women do.
When the scary Slice icon hijacked Slice last Halloween, he went by Slice Dude so I wasn't sure if Slice Dude was just dressed up for Halloween or what. You had me wondering about that and I'm a little embarassed that I even thought to wonder about it. LOL
LMAO that we are conversing about this but that's what I like about the SE family of blogs. Healthy doses of fun, food, food for thought, and cooking sprinkled with moments of whimsy and a dash of people taking themselves too seriously at times. It's a nice mix.
If you add lipstick, you know you have to add a pork product, Pepper Oni sounds Asian, Pepper O'Knee sounds Irish, Pepper O. Nee is more generic. If you add a female to the mix, you know you're going to have to deal with jealousy, kanoodling, and end up with a baby slice named. Posh Ta
I think that all this Dominos political demo proves is that there's repuplicans and democrats alike with terrible taste in Pizza.
As a long time pizza snob who hasn't tocuhed a Dominos in 15 years...I must come clean and admit Domino's pizza got me through 2 years of college...clear commentary of how bad the student cafeteria food was, and that I was a car-less city boy at a boony college.
Anybody else remember messing with the minds of the dominos delivery guys?...back in the day when the pie was free or discounted if they arrived past 30 minutes. We'd occasionally insist that those poor schmucks were late, referencing a fast clock in the room. Anyway, I remember they stopped that offer, as too many delivery drivers were crashing trying to make it in time.
Patriotic Slice Dude looks a bit punch-drunk with stars for eyes. I think of them all as manifestations of the same Slice, personally, kind of like different incarnations of the Buddha.
I'm a Democrat, registered and proud and have not eaten Domino's since I was 19.
Then, my Domino's habits involved waking up after a party in a frat house, and stumbling into the kitchen, and eating it cold from the box for breakfast. Which usually washed down with some flat Diet Coke from an open can and then remembering not to eat the stuff because of the right-wing proclivities of the company owner.

I never order Dominos. I suppose that makes me an anarchist.
I like Patriotic Slice Dude, he's inspiring
Laurel E at 11:49AM on 10/30/08
My god. My husband is a closet republican -- with the exception of ordering a variety of stuff. He loves to order a ton of different things too.
I think he'd choke on his [Donato's] pizza if I told him this. =)

Is Patriotic Slice Dude related to Slice Dude?

@Adam...Thanks for the link. I enjoy the Slice Dude family. Are the womenfolk known as Slice Girls? (Okay, sorry but I had to say it!)

Actually, I think bad pizza tastes better cold.
