Round pizza? Square box?
From: "Jesse Shores"
Why does a ROUND pizza come in a SQUARE box?
After a short couple days of having this question
posted, my email box was loaded with answers to solve the pizza box
mystery...
Kelly Clark was the first to inspire us with her
wisdom:
I think I've come up with a pretty easy answer
to the "Round pizza? Square box?" question, which is simply this:
Round boxes would be one big pain in the ass to make, don't you
think? Square boxes are pretty simple, but would you really wanna
fold a round box?
We then received a letter from Snoozer with his
solution to this mystery:
Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Because
square boxes are easier, cheaper and more stackable and the people
making the pizza don't have to put them together. Plus, pizzas fit
in them.
Jen and Sarah both put their minds together to
solve the puzzle:
about the round pizza in the square box. its logical
to put a round pizza in a square box because its easier to get the
pizza out. its also easier to manufacture a square box then a round
one.
And last but not least Todd concluded with his
final thoughts.
A round pizza box would make it very difficult to
get the round pizza out of the box. Even if the box was bigger than
the pizza all pizzas are not perfectly round. Also it is very
difficult to make a round box. It is much quicker and easier to make
a box square rather than round.
So overall... I've basically come up with it
would just be to hard to put together a round box and still be able
to get a round pizza out of it.
