They only won that in the non US version. Here in the US it was Taco Bell

Guys guys relax

Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are both owned by the same corporate conglomerate that owns Pepsi, KFC, and every other fast food chain that only serves Pepsi.

The reference is to a old action movie called Demolition Man. In the movie there was only one restaurant that survived the franchise wars. In the US it was Taco Bell and in Europe it was Pizza hut.
