It's not pink!!!
It never saved any pizza from... me 😬
Now I want pizza
I legit opened this post while eating a slizzy. I hope you get your pizza soon.
as do I core. as do I.
TIL not only was this for preventing the box from bending inward, which everyone knows, but also allows you to grab a slice without touching the other pizza slices! Mind blown.
you and me, we are in the same boat. When I saw these as a kid, I always thought they were to prevent slices from separating and till now had forgotten about them
Insanity! What madness are you blathering on about?
"pizza bone".
pelican noise
!!! Thank you for the bones !!!
This is such a quintessentially American thing, I've never seen one in real life. Are pizza boxes in the states especially thin so that these are necessary?
I think the concern is more about stacking multiple boxes and the combined weight of everything pushing down on the bottom box. 2-3 pizzas is probably fine without, but when you get a large order for a party or school or event with 5 stacks of ten pizzas each the weight becomes a problem.

It's probably more relevant as the boxes get wider but not thicker or taller. It is American to have huge portions, after all
We here in South America use them a lot.
When pizza boxes are over 50cm across, they probably start to sag a bit.
why are these still legal while plastic straws and forks &c are banned?
One of my local shops uses a garlic knot instead of these. I don't know why more places don't do that. Delicious and functional!
I'm reading this while sipping a drink through a plastic straw.
My local pizzarias also use that support.
looking at your post history gives me the impression that you're in europe

The EU is acting against plastic pollution. From 3 July 2021, single-use plastic plates, cutlery, straws, balloon sticks and cotton buds cannot be placed on the markets of the EU Member States. In addition, the same measure applies to cups, food and beverage containers made of expanded polystyrene, and all products made of oxo-degradable plastic.
i haven't seen plastic straws for some years now. Where are you?
There's a pizzeria in my city that always puts these upside-down 😡
I don’t know why, but that’s fuckin’ hilarious
