Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!" 2527051052

⚫️🟣⚪️ Alahmnat 🟡🟣⚫️ @alahmn.at · 10/03/2026Great Illustrated Classics were my ticket to an endless stream of free pizza in grade school. 010
Skippy @skippysplushpile.bsky.social · 10/03/2026The Book It program and the subsequent free Pizza Hut was definitely a major part of my childhood, alongside more free Pizza Hut by renting Sega Genesis games and movies on VHS from Blockbuster Video. Dang... now I really want some Pizza Hut! XD 110

TenPoundHammer @tenpoundhammer.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Fun fact: when I was in second grade, we lived about 30 miles from the nearest Pizza Hut, and all the kids preferred the local pizza joint across the highway, so literally NONE of the kids participated in Book It! 100
ElizaGWR @elizagwr.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Quite literally my childhood as well, I would read at least five books a week just to get the free pan pizza from pizza hut every week... I read at minimum 5 books every week from 1990 until 1996. And being since the summer program also gave away the pins... I read around 360 books during that time 080
olympicdames.bsky.social @olympicdames.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Begged my teacher for this. Sure you can look them up online but I struggled to get this out of and back into a tube for a pic. 1483
Tired Art Goblin @spaceturtleart.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I was already a voracious reader as a kid but I was still excited to get free Pizza Hut. If you got enough points you got to ride in a limo! Magical for a child. 020
Potatoidea @potatoidea.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I cheated this a bit by putting my Prima game guides on the list as books I read. Was still technically reading books, so... 020
gwauu 2️⃣ @gwauu.online · 09/03/2026i got an a's hat at my school for reaching the top hours (´・ω・`) 010
Snags @treewolv.bsky.social · 10/03/2026We got to have pizza parties once a semester if everyone met their reading goals. I used to read a book a day, and still hold the AR reading record for 1 semester at my school. The next closest person was over 500 AR points away. We didn't have the pizza hut thing though. 130
Night | 😈 Supervillain VTuber, Working On Videos 😈 @nightparadox.bsky.social · 10/03/2026I'm older gen-z and I definitely felt the shift away from reading as I got to high school. I very distinctly remember reading Hitchhiker's Guide and apparently I was the first person in months who wanted to do an AR test... The librarian was shocked 150
Urban Dragon Dice @urbandragondice.bsky.social · 10/03/2026As a Xennial, tricks on them I'm literally made out of books these days. Unfortunately for me book it happened just after I got out of grade school. I was more focused on getting A's for Pizza Hut. The earlier program. 110
Rose @itsmerose.bsky.social · 09/03/2026the funniest thing about that system is that I really liked reading when I was young and then when they added that to it it ruined reading for me afterwards 220
Sagra Dazkar || Ruby Captain @rubycaptain.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Fun fact: pizza hut still does book-it personal pans!! 120

ArcticDragon 🔞 @arcticdragon.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Man I didn't even get a personal pan pizza, I got a rubber ducky and a keychain flashlight 120
Adam Makey @darkestadam.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Unfortunately I had to do it purely for the love of the game as far as pizza goes. 120
