A Dominos Employee Built A Game Of Thrones Iron Throne Out Of Pizza Boxes And Soda Bottles
On April 14, Game of Throne's eighth and final season premiered on HBO, and while plenty of super fans celebrated the momentous occasion with watch parties, none honored the event quite like Gregor Donnelly. The Scotland-based Dominos staffer recreated the iconic iron throne, except it wasn't made with iron at all-but rather pizza boxes, soda bottles, and aluminum foil.
The newly crowned internet sensation shared a photo of his DIY prop to Twitter and garnered massive support from social media. "Iron Throne I built in work," he wrote. The shot, which has since racked up an impressive 18 thousand retweets and 88 thousand likes, features Donnelly outfitted in his Dominos uniform and a makeshift apron-cape perched on the throne. "Pizza is coming," was written across an open pizza box-filled with fresh 'za, I might add.

Praise poured in for Donnelly's efforts. In fact, many users called on Dominos to promote him. "Give this man a raise, give this man a crown," one commented. "Ser Gregor," as he was quickly nicknamed, also drove up sales. Fans applauded the unofficial promotional strategy and thanked Donnelly for inspiring their own orders. "Domino's just got an order for 6 large pizzas from our group (instead of our regular pizza joint) just because of this image,"@JMason333 wrote. "Just placed an order coz of this picture. Give this man a tip for his marketing," another added.

Extra points for utilising aprons as a cloak. Ingenious.

While we're unsure if Donnelly got a raise, Dominos U.K. did take notice. "Ser Gregory, first of his name, House Domino's salutes you #GameofThrones," the brand responded. But seriously, can someone get this dude a sponsorship, ambassador role, or at least a transfer to the advertising department?
