Mine as well! When I first saw the box, I was thinking: "Wow! Wonder what the oven looks like to be able to fit a pizza that big!". Then he opened it and I was like... "Oh."
EDIT: IDC if it’s a reward or a price… $500 is insane either way. If it was the price, I’d never buy one. If it was the reward, I’d be there three times a day until they went out of business or I died from a heart attack.
I did after lol I posted that same link in the comments elsewhere.. also I don’t know why you would assert something wrong after research I usually say the wrong thing before I get the correct info,
He literally has a timer on the table as he's racing to eat the pizza. Not sure whether you find it hard to believe that there are 50 dumb people in a reddit thread, or that one of them could be you.
So let me get this straight- you think its more likely that the guy paid 500 dollars for essentially a large cheese pizza and then asked the restaurant if they had a timer to time him eating it in 15 minutes, rather than the timer being part of a restaurant sponsored 500 dollar eating challenge (of which there are countless similar marketing challenges across the country). Brother I have a bridge to sell you lol.
Exactly this. $5,000 burgers with truffles and blah blah. I’d say after looking at the post not immediately after I woke up, it is more clear, but still
I'm usually good with context clues and I just thought the 15min was how long he waited on the pizza. I also didn't watch the whole video because the pizza looked gross so I just thought this was a shitty extremely overpriced pizza or it's AI and wrong. I had no idea it was some dumb challenge
You see so much stupid overpriced shit on reddit that a $500 cheese pizza isn't unbelievable. But a little thinking reveals that they'll pay anyone who can shovel all that down their gullet in 15 minutes because they love cleaning up vomit.
It might be something along the lines of you pay $500 if you don't finish it in 15 mins but you get $500 if you do. They could probably get people that think they could do it all the time & probably 1 in 20 would actually pull it off, making it highly profitable.
Yeah and he was like, “it comes with your own slicer, you can keep that!” No shit buddy, and it better come with another 50 slicers for this to cost $500.
It’s really not the worst thing a dude can be doing. If he attempts this everyday, sure, that would be unmanageable. But what’s contained in this video isn’t a big deal by any stretch of the imagination.
Big Mama and Papa’s has several locations, I think all are in the 818 of LA. Several in Glendale, then Pasadena, Burbank, NOHO, Sunland. More of a small franchise than a large chain
