OK, this is probably reading way, WAY too much into Code Geass, but it's time for some good ol' over-analyzing. Pizza Hut: how could it happen?
Flash back if you will: flat yeast breads have been staple foods of countless ancient cultures (paratha and naan in Indian, pita in Middle Eastern, injera in Ethiopian/sub-Saharan African, I could go on forever) but pizza didn't really evolve until the 18th century in Naples. Queen Margherita was presented with the first pizza we'd recognize, topped with tomatoes, basil, and mozzerella to represent the colors of the new Italian flag) and was brought over to the US as immigration expanded in the late 1890s.
What is that with Code Geass? Well, if Britannia suppressed the American Revolution and settled it with their own people, it'd stand to say that immigration never happened, Italians never brought pizza to the New World, and without pizza, there's no Domino's and no Pizza Hut to compete with them.
I think it's a bit of over-analyzing, but doesn't anyone else think it'd be weird that pizza would spontaneously become a good enough business in Area 11 to exist, period?
Just a thought. Feel free to sage this post. :-P
