For parties: just buy more pizza

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

I like it, except that the crust is all on one end of the "noodle".

Also, for me tonight: 1 PORTION = 1 PIZZA

[–] danielton@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SirNuke@kbin.social 34 points 2 years 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.

[–] SJ0@lemmy.fbxl.net 17 points 2 years 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!

[–] Metatronz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years 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

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Good to know. 😟 :(

[–] Plaid_Kaleidoscope@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (3 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.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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.

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

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago

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

[–] negativenull@negativenull.com 11 points 2 years ago

It's not delusion, it's Digiorno !

[–] blazera@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

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

Weren’t there six wedges though?

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.

[–] SanityShill@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Doesn't Costco do 6 pieces by default? That's always struck me as a good size.

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who the hell cuts pizza?
Fold, eat.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Instant calzone... or pizza sandwich

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Me. I have a family of 5

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People who share a pizza with four others, perhaps?

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

People who buy frozen pizza and think it’s enjoyable

[–] whygohomie@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

...or you could cut the pizza into 10 pieces (5 cuts across) and 2 pieces count as a portion.

That looks like around 2 slices.

[–] talos@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also, who eats their pizza with a salad?

[–] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Pizza is a salad.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh… eh. Oh well. I know I can edit. But … yeah.

[–] MegaTony@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I cut mine into quarters 🤷‍♂️

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I roll mine up like a churro.

[–] HeavenAndHell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] wanderingmagus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Telorand@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago
[–] youpie@lemmy.emphisia.nl 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
