The movie Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit theaters on July 25th, and the marketing is ratcheting up quickly. Leading the pack is a pizza from Little Caesars that is a four-in-one combo. Each quadrant has different toppings: cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage and bacon, and pepperoni and jalapeño. The jalapeño quadrant obviously represents the Human Torch, and the sausage quadrant looks like rocks, so it should represent The Thing. But which quadrant is Mr. Fantastic and which is The Invisible Woman? More importantly, how are we going to split this pizza when everyone wants the pepperoni and jalapeño slices?
But that's just the beginning. The Fantastic Four will also appear on cereal boxes on grocery shelves, on boxes of limited edition Pop Tarts, on jugs of flavored blue milk, and on Snapple tea. Read about all of these food tie-ins that appear to tell us this movie is a kids film at io9.

The cheese could be for the invisible woman if we add pineapple to the other remaining slices, since it's a stretch for some people to even consider pineapple as a topping. Note: I am not advocating one way or the other as pineapple being a viable topping on pizza. I stay out of those fights.

Good point, but cheese is the part of the pizza that stretches, so shouldn't it be for Mr. Fantastic?

The cheese quadrant is obviously for the Invisible Woman, because it has no visible toppings.
