Seyferth said Marco’s pizza bowls will “give pizza lovers another option to eating their favorite food. With more than one-fourth of the population tossing and wasting the crust of pizza and the popularization of pizza bowls, this product is an ideal fit. Marco’s officially gives you permission to eat pizza with a fork.”

love to absolutely shred the roof of my mouth on a nice piping hot bowl of toppings

With more than one-fourth of the population tossing and wasting the crust of pizza

lol the leap from "people don't like to eat the tasteless dry bread at the end of their pizza slice" to "people just want to scrape off the sauce and toppings and eat it with a fork because they hate the concept of bread"

What’s the problem with not eating 100% of the crust? This feels like being chided for not cleaning the plate.

Look, it's called a Zaproboli, and you're going to shove it in your fucking face

(Zaproboli being short for Pizza Protein Bowl)

If the crust on the pizza is “tasteless dry bread” that’s not good pizza

yeah, most pizza isn't good pizza

so wait... by removing the "crust"...

cmon dickheads, eat the ball

Eat the Ball® is an innovative European company based in Austria that launched the world's first bread brand in 2012 and established a new category of functional branded bread.

It all began in 2007, with one simple question: Why are there no real bread brands? A food as important as bread is still only sold in generic “categories” instead of as a real, distinguishable product brand with individual quality characteristics. The company’s founder Michael Hobel and his business partner Norbert Kraihamer found the issue of bread so intriguing that in 2012 they decided to launch Eat the Ball® in Austria, following five years of research and development. The first steps into Europe and now in the USA. The stated aim is to create the world's first real bread brand.

excellent mission statement, that answers all of my questions

"gently made"?

five years of research and development

I feel like there are bread brands!

DISRUPT BREAD

get me a two year old donut ad

launched the world's first bread brand in 2012

I am incredulous that these euros have never heard of Wonder Bread.

Even Dave's Killer Bread started in 2005.

and Mike's Hard Bread was a year before that

what the fuck?

Pepperidge Farm, not remembered :(

RIP mexican pizza

Good US-baiting from Supreme Court of Ireland there: for VAT purposes at least, Subway bread is confectionary, not bread.

"Our restaurants have been extremely popular date destinations, and many of our fans have found love bonding over their Chipotle obsessions," Tressie Lieberman, Chipotle's vice president of digital marketing and off-premise, told Insider. "In our endless pursuit to meet our fans where they are, we teamed up with Uber Eats to create a series of fun, sharable pairings that can be enjoyed anywhere and will complement the dating experience."

it'd be pretty cool if they served that "Gravynnaise™ dip & drink" with an oxford comma too

Xp:

can’t believe I’m posting this but you can recreate the Mexican pizza at a cheaper price by ordering a tostada with no chipotle sauce/lettuce and adding a side of beef. or maybe it’s two tostadas? I need to ask my partner.

Unfortunately, the Spicy Tostada also got the ax earlier this year during the first round of cuts (when they eliminated all the potato items)

"unfortunately"

“Our bearded fans know… facial hair and the McRib just don’t mix—believe me, I’ve tried,” said Vice President of U.S. Communications, David Tovar. “With the nationwide return of the McRib, we’re helping fans enjoy every delectable moment by encouraging them to shave for a chance to win a free McRib. And we’re excited this year to partner with No-Shave November, a charity that knows a thing or two about facial hair.”

In recognition of those who’ve grown a little scruff for a cause this month, we’re collaborating with No-Shave November—a non-profit organization devoted to fundraising for cancer research, prevention, and education—for some added good. Just buy a McRib on Dec. 2 and your purchase will help support our donation to the charity’s cancer initiatives.

“No-Shave November is a month-long journey where we ask participants to put down their razors and ‘get hairy’ in the name of cancer awareness,” said Senior Executive Director of No-Shave November, Monica Hill. “We’re thrilled McDonald’s is supporting this important cause, getting both the bearded and the non-bearded involved beyond November simply by purchasing a McRib.”

i don't wanna know what they're going to do to commemorate No Nut November

That's why the McFlurry machine is broken
