How it spread

Trace the origin

Domino's released a film admitting customers disliked its pizza, then bought TV and YouTube ads. Press, Colbert and customer arguments carried the story. Domino's reported 14.3% U.S. same-store growth in Q1 2010; the peak anchor marks that report.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
