Thanks, now I'm hungry for a giant-ass pizza.

Not to be confused with a giant ass-pizza.

But that would be interesting as well.

Maybe pizza box technology has improved because I haven't seen these things in a long time sadly

I was thinking the same thing. Anyone under the age of 20 has got to be scratching their head at this meme.

I'm under 37 and also scratching my (European) head. Is this one of those insane US things?

I used to see them in the UK. Perhaps they're making the boxes stronger to save needing the plastic, or maybe it's just smaller pizzas/boxes don't need them.

Depending on the chain they still come on some pizzas our side of the ocean.

Unfortunately, they're just cutting cost. My recently ordered pizza was ripped off and stuck to the box. Had to scrape it off .

One of the worst features is that it's a piece of plastic instead of the little ball of dough that they used to put on top of pizzas for the same purpose.

But did you think about what barbie and the ninja turtles need? No you only think about yourself.

I'd call him Bobby. Little Bobby Tables.

I hope you are happy that we lost the entire pizza recipe database.

And I hope we all learned to sanitize our database inputs!

It would be awesome to have a life sized version of the 3 legged pizza table on a pizza area rug

Does the little pizza on the three-legged table come with an even smaller three-legged table?

Of course, you need somewhere to sit after all.

My dream is to eat at that little table that comes on top of the pizza that's on top of the little table that you're eating from that comes on top of the first pizza.

I haven't had a pizza with a little table in ages. Maybe I'm not getting pizza from the right places, but even the local chain I get pizza from doesn't use them on their extra larges.

A while ago we (humans) learnt how to actually make boxes so the tables aren’t necessary anymore

7

Even longer before that, we used to have a ball of dough on the pizza to keep the pizza from touching the box.

So that's what happened? How did we do that?

Someone should replace the smaller pizza with stroganoff.

That’ll be a NORMAL stroganoff thank you. Sans the beans.

What's the little table used for, sure I seen a short video explaining I've been using it wrong,but don't remember.

I literally just learned last night that the little table is to hold the slice next to yours as you pull a piece, that way you’re not touching the next person’s slice with your grubby ass hands.

I heard it was so the pizza box didn't sag and touch the pizza

26

Maybe I should’ve said that you CAN use them as a way to avoid touching two slices when pulling your own. You pick it up, place it in the middle of the slice next to yours, and pull so you don’t touch the crust of the next persons slice. Probably a creative use for something that was originally intended to keep boxes from saggjng

Isn’t that a sign the pizza is too big? Never seen these things before…

They stopped using these awhile ago. I actually forgot these were on every pizza when I was a kid.

Nope. 3 legs and how many slices? It's for pizza box sag. Former pizza guy.

It’s meant to be picked up, the feet placed on the next slice, and you pull your slice with your hand. It’s not like it stays in the middle.

I worked in pizza places for 10+ years and we never used them, so maybe their original intention was avoiding pizza box sag, I suppose I wouldn’t know. I guess we can just say using them to not touch the next slice as you pull your own is a more creative adaptive use
