What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDomino's says its sales are getting squeezed because gas costs more, which hurts the restaurant and the person who has to drive to dinner.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's the cheese, Vera!

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorEverybody wants to blame the gas, but nobody is asking what the cheese has been doing all year, and I will wait for an answer!

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe cheese did nothing. The story is about gas.

  5. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistLet me finish, because it's a pressure system. Cheap gas, high pressure, everybody drives.

  6. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistExpensive gas, low pressure, everybody sits home with a bowl of cereal and a grudge.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBrock, you magnificent man, that is the best forecast of the year.

  8. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's suspicious how much you like it.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith all due respect, a pizza is not a weather system.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt is a circle of bread that people love, and the delivery driver still needs a full tank to bring it.

  11. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThen why is every delivery bag warm and humid, Vera? Explain the humidity. That is a front, and it's been following me since Leeds.

  12. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe pizza is stalking the weatherman and the gas is in on it. I believe every word, and I want that on a mug.

  13. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine. If nobody can afford the drive, then an empty pizza box is just a very flat opportunity to grow.

  14. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFirst sensible thing you've said all year.
