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

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

      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!

    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.

      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.

      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

        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!

            Do what @spooner said, but get a loaf of sliced high-fiber bread. (In the US you can even find white bread that’s high-fiber.) That way you can make toast if you’re too depressed to wait for the oven. If you can afford microwaveable turkey or chicken bacon and pre-boiled eggs then you’ll have a reasonably healthy breakfast in just a couple minutes. [edit: do not put the pre-boiled eggs in the microwave! lel] Add canned fruit (with no sugar added) for dessert.

          Or visit the salad bar. You can get a nice container of exactly however much ingredients you want to add to your pizza, already cut up and ready to go

          Everyone thinks you’re choosing a healthy meal; you know you’re choosing a better tasting pizza with minimal effort

    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.

      Same person also did the installation instructions for Glacier Bay medicine cabinets. 3/5 and 2/9 were measurements I recently had the joy of running into.

      I can say with 105.6% accuracy that I did not install the framing to the exact dimensions as specified. If Glacier Bay has a problem they can make tape measures with 1/5 and 1/9.

        Could that have been a metric conversion issue? Convenient measurements in one system of units are not necessarily convenient in another

        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.
