Also, for me tonight: 1 PORTION = 1 PIZZA

I identify as a family of four.

Gotta love when the picture itself is mildly infuriating too, I guess

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I took the picture in the right direction but apparently Memmy will not follow rotation tags from iOS.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Likely an attempt to claim there's fewer calories per slice, even though people will just cut it in quarters instead of fifths.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like that time I only had two drinks -- a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka. (oh my god I died for the next two days don't do what I did)

Can't get mad at me for having only two drinks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I just got a hangover from reading this. Been there, my condolences!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not sure why the picture shows up sideways.. it was taken vertically.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most phones just use metadata to tell what way an image is supposed to be rotated and will always take the picture portrait. It was probably removed by the image host

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Good to know. 😟 :(

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does the exact same thing to me. But if I go in my gallery and make a copy of the picture and upload that, it works correctly.

I don't get it either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I uploaded via Memmy… maybe I’ll post a bug report.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It might be designed that way to make the nutritional facts more appealing. They can define the portion sizes arbitrarily, so the per-portion amounts don't look so high.

I dunno about y'all, but I cut my pizza's into 1/8ths, which would be smaller than 1/5.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

But do you have just one piece when you do?

The FDA is in charge of portion sizes. No one decides it on their own.

What a company can do is fiddle with the total number of portions. Which is how you get 5 portions in this pizza.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

What pisses me off is when they cut they pizza in squares and not pie cut....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

It's not delusion, it's Digiorno !

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It's Nestle, they have their child slaves cut it for them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

if you try cutting an odd number of slices you're gonna have a bad time

Who the hell cuts pizza?
Fold, eat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Instant calzone... or pizza sandwich

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People who share a pizza with four others, perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's when you cut it into sixths and take the last piece after "offering" it to everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Also, who eats their pizza with a salad?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I had a chocolate mousse salad does that count?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve been trying to lose weight by making gradual changes in my eating habits in the hopes that it will result in a big change that i can stick to for the rest of my life and I’ve learned a reasonably sized slice of pizza and a salad is pretty satisfying and salad really does go well with pizza. It’s not super healthy and by no means an everyday meal, but it’s better than eating half a large pizza in one sitting like i used to.

That looks like around 2 slices.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interetingly, I've concluded that cutting a pizza to 4 pieces makes the rim support the tip properly, regardless of the size of the pizza, while cutting the pizza to 8 pieces makes the tip of the piece always flop. However, one quadrant of the pizza is harder to eat, because it widens so radicaly. This has made me a believer of cutting the pizza to 6 pieces, as this solves both issues.

I woudn't be surprised if some maths genius would've calculated that the 5 pieces would be the most optimal for both issues, the tip support, and the edibility. However, cutting to 5 equal pieces is rather bothersom, so I'll be sticking with 6 pieces personally, regardless of what pizza enginers may have calculated.

1/5 is 20% of a pizza. So if you cut it traditionally into eight slices, that would be just over a slice and a half.

People who buy frozen pizza and think it’s enjoyable

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I don't eat it because it's enjoyable, I eat it because I've been laying in bed all day trying to get my depressed ass up in a futile attempt to prove to myself that I can indeed be functioning & productive member of society, until I reluctantly accept the fact that it will never ever happen and that I am in fact required to ingest some sort of food in order to survive. So I throw a frozen pizza in the oven

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Brother, let me try and help you out.

Next time you're in the supermarket stocking up on frozen pizzas, get your self a packet of grated pizza cheese, and some extra sliced ham, and / or fresh peppers. Pile on the extra cheese, ham, and slice up the peppers if you decided on those, put it in the oven as usual, but for a few minutes extra.

The overdose of cheese, and extra flavours will have you feeling a lot better!

I mean, it's not exactly unheard of. I've seen really good pizza places do it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

For those of us trying to boycott Nestlé: what's a good frozen pizza alternative that has good cheese stuffed crust?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
