Social Media Users React to Pentagon Pizza Orders

Pentagon Pizza Index Sparks Viral Theory
The sudden jump in pizza orders sparked discussions around the viral Pentagon Pizza Index. This theory suggests that sudden increases in late-night pizza demand near the US Pentagon could indicate an ongoing national security crisis or a possible military action. The premise behind the theory is that major events, such as emergencies or intense activity, often force Pentagon staff to work late, driving a rise in pizza orders. However, experts note that this idea remains speculative. No verified evidence directly links pizza order surges to actual national security events or military operations.
