Pizza shop sponsors school exam papers

Students at a high school in the US will be the target of adverts for a local pizza shop ... as they take their exams.

Molto Caldo Pizzeria has bought advertising space on the exam papers of Pocatello High School in Idaho meaning that at the bottom of every page bright red text will read "MOLTO'S PIZZA 14" 1 TOPPING JUST $5".

Bosses of the school think the move will not only be a money spinner but could prompt pupils to learn about new subjects claiming the ads could help illuminate such topics as the Great Depression.

They might get better results from the students if the adverts said: "MOLTO'S PIZZA 14" FREE WITH EVERY GRADE A"
