Domino's Eyes Bloggers To Help Buzz Up Recipe Changes

Here's a switch. The pizza company that earlier this year suffered at the hands of social media when workers posted nasty videos of themselves on YouTube has taken to social media to get the word out about its recipe redo's.

Bruce Horovitz reports that the world's largest pizza delivery chain will unveil plans today to change every part -- crust, cheese and sauce -- of its core pizza. Brand gurus have weighed in, suggesting the strategy is a risk of the sort Coca-Cola once took when it created New Coke.
