Economics 101

Demand for something rises as the price for it decreases. This is obvious stuff. So what do you think would happen when Papa John's decided to apologize to the greater Cleveland area for their decision to distribute 'crybaby' 23 t-shirts to Washington Wizards fans by offering all of northern Ohio 23 cent pizzas? If you guessed long lines and shortages then give yourself a gold star.


"Lines were so long Thursday at some of the 86 Papa John's stores offering a large one-topping pizza for 23 cents that police stood nearby to make sure people didn't get unruly."


Obviously.
