I was a preteen when the 80s turtles were on TV. I think all people (and in particular, kids) love pizza by nature -- it's simply a great food that is both delicious and very cost-effective in feeding a lot of people. However, I think there's no denying that TMNT contributed to an EXPLOSION in popularity of pizza and it probably saw a good 30-50% or more increase in sales across the board throughout the late 80s and early 90s.

I think to this day, the TMNT's influence on pizza probably has something to do with how popular it is.
