Barton F. Graf 9000's "Do Not Call" campaign for Little Caesars, which you can see in a video summary below, boldly tests the limits of quirkiness and customer curiosity. A radio spot begins the reverse-psychology scavenger hunt with this warning: "We'd like to take this opportunity to educate you about calling Little Caesars—Don't do it. You see, at Little Caesars, we have hot and ready pizzas available all day, every day. … Not only is it faster to just swing by Little Caesars and pick up a hot and ready pizza, if you call 1-800-Try-Little-C, bad things will happen to you."
