Around the World: Domino's Also Serves Pizza Sliders... in Australia

Like Pizza Hut, Domino's  introduces new Pizza Sliders for a limited-time, but in Australia rather than here in the U.S.

The sliders come four to a pack with one of each of the following topping combinations:

- Meatlovers - Topped with back bacon, ham, ground beef, and Italian sausage.
- Supreme - Topped with pepperoni, back bacon, bell peppers, ground beef, Italian sausage, mushroom, pineapple, and oregano. (I'm really not sure how they fit all of that onto a mini pizza. Maybe one piece of each?)
- Pepperoni - self-explanatory.
- Hawaiian - Topped with ham, pineapple, and extra mozzarella.

Review: Pringles - Paprika Flavor

This canister of Paprika flavor Pringles came to me from my cousin who picked it up in Germany while traveling around Europe. It's actually made in Belgium though.

While it's exclusive to Europe, apparently you can pick them up from an importer on Amazon for a little over $5.

Pizza Hut Sri Lanka (that small island county off the southern coast of India) offers a pizza stuffed with toppings, mayo, and mustard called the "Double Decker" pizza.

I'm not sure about the mustard and mayo, but the rest looks like the pizza that last year's Overstuffed Pizza should have been.
