Define: rectangular pizza

Rectangular pizza is pizza in the shape of a 4 inch by 6-inch rectangle. This pizza is often undercooked, allowing you to taste the sugar in the tomato sauce slightly buried beneath the mozzarella spread like loose snow.



What eating rectangular pizza says about you

When you choose the rectangular pizza, it says to your classmates one or more of the following about you:

  • My parents are poor, and I get free lunch because they’re poor.
  • I haven’t mastered the basic life skills to make my own lunch because I expect my parents to teach me everything.
  • My parents gave me enough money for lunch, but not enough to eat normal food.
  • I had to scrounge for change in my living room because my parents are too proud to admit we’re poor.
  • My parents don’t care enough about me to make lunch, even though I’m old enough to make my own lunch.
  • My foster parents are using my per diem for something more fun.
  • I don’t care what you think of me. I enjoy eating wet cardboard with cheese and tomato sauce.
