    According to this 1973 New York Times article it was 50 pizzas and they were sent to the hotel then-Maine Sen. Edmund Muskie was staying at. They were probably not from Domino's, which was just getting started in 1972.

    Thanks for pointing that out. My memory was a little hazy after all these years. Still a funny prank.

    Nowadays you gotta pay upon ordering, so the pizza prank will have to be funded after conceptualization and before execution.

    Don't know if the aforementioned article mentioned it or not, but another favorite Segretti tactic was sending over booze COD.

    Does this count?

    On April 17, Muskie threw a fund‐raising dinner for 1,300 people at the Washington Hilton. That day, a $300 supply of liquor, a $50 floral arrangement, 200 pizzas, some pastries and even two magicians from the Virgin Islands arrived unordered.

    I’m a little disappointed there hasn’t been a University of Spoiled Children reference. I miss the 90s.
