After reading this I am obsessed with one thought: who the hell served 5 inch pizzas?

I know! It's a real mystery. Maybe that's their personal size??

Congratulations! Twice as much of anything you enjoy is hard to resist. Helped a turtle across the street last week...tis the season...as far as the 5" pizza...if these ever become available in the store, the serving guidance will undoubtedly advise it contains two servings :) -- keep the GIFs coming and tell us how to pronounce GIF

Thanks Mark! I agree, if a 5 inch pizza is sold in stores, it will certainly be two servings because whoever comes up with these servings is some kind of monster. As for the GIFs, I'll keep them coming, but there's no way I'm getting involved in the pronunciation wars.

Be brave about the GIFs and treat yourself to half a 5" pizza. Now that I've thought about this more I realize that the idea of the 5" pizza must have emerged when people made pizzas on English Muffins. It only seems right since the British are best at consistently bad food. The power move would be to go metric as 12 cm sounds way better than 5 inch. The bonus is most Americans don't know metric anyhow so you could put them in 12" boxes and really make some money. Just use a small font.

Haha, thank you! Procrastination almost made this a Thursday edition, glad I got it together because I've always wanted to disrupt Wednesday.

Congrats on the new day! Situation Normal is set to conquer the week!

The pizza anecdote reminds me of what 50% of Internet humor was like in the early 00s.

Thanks! And I think you're right about the pizza anecdote and early 00s humor. Then again, the internet is a flat circle, so what was once popular will be popular again!
