Yesterday you may have read that a Domino's worker was caught buying cheap wedges from Asda, presumably to sell on at a mark up of well over 250%.
Just to recap...

Needless to say nobody was happy about it, with a lot of anger directed towards the fast food company on social media...

Well, now Asda has added extra salt (or should I say oregano?) to Domino's wound by sharing the photo on their official Facebook page.
Addressing their customers, Asda wrote: "Asda customer Sinéad tweeted this pic after she spotted Dominos stocking up on our £1 potato wedges at our Greenhithe store.
"Wonder if they know that our 14″ Create Your Own pizzas are just £3.50 too."

Asda's post has now received in excess of 20,000 likes on Facebook.
A spokesperson for Asda told The Metro: "We're pretty impressed by the creativity of this Dominoes colleague, but some might say they are taking the pizza by passing our great tasting wedges off as their own - especially as a single portion from them costs nearly four times as much as an entire kilo bag of our wedges.
"We'd suggest Dominoes customers just cut out the middle man and come to us for an amazing feast of wedges and pizza at a slice of the price!"
Just in case anyone is interested in taking them up on their offer, here is some info worth keeping in mind about any leftovers...

How Long After Cooking Pizza Can You Safely Eat It?
Pizza is possibly the best food ever. I know everyone says it all the time, but we're at a point where if you press your phone in the right place - someone will deliver a pizza to your door.
It's hot, it's cheesy, it's personalisable, you can even get that bad boy with a stuffed crust. Mate, it's the king of foods.

However, when you get a takeaway, it's common to eat most of it and then leave some for the next day. Everyone does this. But, how safe is it to eat it?!
I've seen people eat pizza that's been left out for days. Gross, I know. I'm one of those kinds of people who will wrap it up in tin foil and put it in the fridge. Deal with it.
Well, I spoke to the Food Standards Agency to find out exactly what is safe and what isn't.
A spokesperson said: "If you choose to keep hot takeaway pizza as leftovers, then you should make sure it's cooled down at room temperature within 2 hours.
"Takeaway leftovers should be stored, covered and kept in a fridge for up to two days. An exception to this is rice based dished which should only be kept for one day.
"You can also freeze takeaway food for up to three months but its quality is likely to diminish over time. If takeaway food is frozen, the food should be fully reheated within 24 hours of it being fully defrosted.
"Always defrost the food in the fridge. Before eating, also make sure the leftover food is reheated thoroughly by reaching a core temperature of 70˚C for 2 minutes or equivalent."
Wait a minute - you can freeze takeaway? For up to three months?! This is amazing information. Especially for the students among you who tend to spend student loans within days and then regret it a few months down the line.
Also, the fact you shouldn't eat pizza that's been left out over two hours is concerning. But hey, now you know.
