According to a news report from theregister.co.uk, “The staple diet of cook-phobic carboholics is about to become more expensive, as pizza-peddler Domino’s has warned the cost of ingredients is rocketing.”
“A combination of factors, chiefly nasty weather in Europe and Australia and big demand in China, has pushed up the cost of the dairy and wheat products vital in making the stodge-circles beloved of graphic novel readers everywhere,” said the story. “Mozzarella is now like irksomely stringy gold, as demand for dairy produce soars in China. Flour is also becoming increasingly costly, with Australian drought and European floods pushing up wheat prices. According to the BBC, Domino’s is shouldering some of the extra cost itself, but says it’s likely owners of the 480 UK and Ireland franchise outlets will opt to slap on some additional cost to the consumer.”
