Hey, that's a cool piece of trivia. In the famous Papa John's Bitcoin transaction, it was actually the shop owner who got the Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz offered 10,000 Bitcoins to anyone who could get him two Papa John's pizzas delivered to his doorstep. Jeremy Sturdivant, a fellow Bitcoin enthusiast, took him up on the offer and had the pizzas delivered. The Bitcoins went to Jeremy, but he was acting as a middleman, so the Bitcoins essentially went to pay for the pizzas, benefiting the shop owner indirectly.
