Recently, a spike in requests was recorded before the attack on Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The “Pentagon Pizza Index” is a phenomenon that suggests that the increase in the number of pizza orders in the vicinity of the Pentagon may anticipate imminent military operations by the United States.
In a world where information travels at the speed of light and technology is everywhere, it seems almost unbelievable that the number of pizza orders in Washington DC could serve as an indicator of a possible US military operation in the near future. But, after all, what is the curious phenomenon known as “Pentagon Pizza Index” (“Pentagon Pizza Index”)which has recently returned to prominence?
The logic behind this theory of “Pentagon Pizza Index”, that has left social media abuzz, it’s simple: during moments of high tension, civilians and military personnel who work at the Pentagon extend their working hours and resort to fast food to endure long hours of work.
The index uses metrics such as busiest times no ea activity on social networks that monitor order patterns and access to pizzerias in the regionallowing the identification of unusual movements.
Pizza as a sign of international crisis
In the early hours of January 3rd, the page registered a “abnormal” increase in the number of orders in several pizzerias near the Pentagon, headquarters of the United States Department of Defense.
For example, the pizzeria Pizzato Pizzalocated just a few minutes from the building and open until three in the morning, registered a high number of orders close to closing timean unusual situation.
According to the same page, this morning, bars in the vicinity of the Pentagon, such as Freddie’s Beach Bar and the Crystal City Sports Pubrecorded a lower than usual customer influx.
Conspiracy theory or coincidence?
There are already several decades since this theory began to be associated with an unlikely sign of global tensions.
Similar phenomena were recorded during the 1980s, such as invasion of Grenada in 1983a United States intervention in Panama in 1989 and, at the beginning of the 1990s, with the Gulf War.
However, although this theory seems exit from a Hollywood film and present several coincidences, does not have any scientific proof.
