Not surprisingly, pizza is the most-popular food among Americans according to www.americasfavoritefood.com. A survey conducted by Papa John's, meanwhile, revealed that today's college students consider cafeteria food to be one of the worst things about living on campus - right behind sharing a bathroom and dragging dirty clothes to the community laundry room. That's probably why 72 percent of students surveyed say that they order pizza most often when craving a dorm room food delivery.

And when students were asked what they'd like to see in a care package from home, 38 percent prefer a gift card. If it is a restaurant gift card, 40 percent of college kids would want to purchase pizza.

Also, because some parents may worry that their college-bound kids aren't getting enough to eat, a reloadable Papa Card not only calms those fears, but ensures that students are responsibly spending mom and dad's money on food rather than clothes, gas, or anything else.

You don't have to be a math major to conclude that a craving for pizza, a distaste for cafeterias, and a love of gift cards all adds up to a Papa Card!
