They're testing out paying for Pizza Hut with TikTok videos. You heard me right: the pizza restaurant Pizza Hut is going to start trying out offering their products in exchange for influencer videos instead of cash money. Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so tell me: what would you do for a promotional pizza?
