Other publicity stunts involve building a 12-foot Pizza Thrower and realizing your _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle_ dreams. Thank you, Pizza Hut, for providing the latter. The chain will [debut](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/pizza-hut-to-debut-life-size-fully-functional-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-pizza-thrower-at-comic-con-2014-07-22) a massive vehicle, complete with a 16-foot rotating cannon to launch pizzas, at Comic-Con in San Diego, which takes place July 24-27. Comic-Con goers, who probably owned the toy version seen below, will literally eat it up. Well, metaphorically eat it up. Unfortunately the launched pizzas will be fake. Pizza Hut partnered with Paramount for Michael Bay’s live action _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ film, out August 8. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3023490/pizza-hut-built-a-giant-real-life-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-pizza-thrower/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3023490/pizza-hut-built-a-giant-real-life-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-pizza-thrower/"},"headline":"Pizza Hut Built a Giant, Real-Life Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pizza Thrower","datePublished":"2014-07-23T15:12:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:52.582Z","description":"Comic-Con fans will be able to take turns operating it","url":"https://time.com/3023490/pizza-hut-built-a-giant-real-life-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-pizza-thrower/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Business topic","Ads","film"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte657f33f5aba4d90/69869cbf06f2c10baf330038/tmnt.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte657f33f5aba4d90/69869cbf06f2c10baf330038/tmnt.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles","caption":"","creditText":"Pizza Hut","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3023490/pizza-hut-built-a-giant-real-life-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-pizza-thrower/","name":"Pizza Hut Built a Giant, Real-Life Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pizza Thrower"}}]}] ```
