Domino's Australia wants to reclaim the name 'Karen' that has now been linked to various videos throwing tantrums by giving away free pizzas to law-abiding real-life Karens.
Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, many mid-age white women refusing to wear a face mask and making Asian racial slurs were branded as 'Karen'.
"In 2020, 'Karen' is no longer content to speak to the manager. Now, she's dobbing in her neighbours, refusing to quarantine, or wear a mask," said Allan Collins, the chain's marting officer for Australia and New Zealand.
"Consequently, the name 'Karen' has become synonymous with anyone who is entitled, selfish and likes to complain. What used to be a lighthearted meme has become quite the insult to anyone actually named Karen," he added.
Over 100 free pizzas will be given away under the online campaign that will last until July 31 (Friday).
