48 Hour Diary : Lunch

                For lunch on Wednesday September 29, 2010 I went to a one dollar pizza place around the corner from school. The pizza was only one dollar so I pooled together money with Kevin Wagner and we bought one pizza pie and split it so that we would both have four slices of pizza. When looking around I noticed the place didn’t have a menu so there were no calories numbers next to the food because the only thing sold was plain cheese pizza. Many people were in the pizza place because it was so inexpensive. Looking left and right you could see dollars flying everywhere. NO ONE WANTED JUST ONE SLICE. That was something else I noticed. Most people don’t get full off one slice of pizza but at certain places pizzas are three dollars or maybe more. That keeps people from buying more than one but everyone that came in got two slices or more. I wanted four slices of pizza because last time I was there I ate two slices with the original order. Then I went back for another and another after that meaning I had four slices. So when I went back the next day I thought I should just get it all at the same time because it was quick. After the first slice of pizza I wanted another, and conveniently I didn’t have to go back and wait on the line of people out the door. After the second slice I was almost full but I was probably able to push out another slice so I went for the 3rd slice. After this I was full but I didn’t want the money to go to waste so I decided to eat the last piece anyway. While I was eating I noticed all of the grease on the pizza and I blotted it with a napkin knowing that would take away some of the fat. After eating I was really tired and I felt really bloated. I was also really thirsty so after that I split an Arizona Mango flavored with Kevin Wagner to wash it down. Because the pizza was so cheap is what made me want to go there to eat. I also knew that after waiting around in front of school for ten minutes I had to get something quick and that place produces pizzas nonstop it seemed more like factory. After eating that I felt like I did when I ate the ten white castle burgers and I didn’t need that much to be full but it was a food adventure to test the limits of how far I could push myself. Food to me is an adventure. I try almost anything once and because of that is why I try to challenge myself to going to the limit. It also made sense why the food was only 1 dollar because the pizza didn't have much cheese so it seemed like a bargain but usually quality is better then quantity and the quality of the food wasn't that good however the quantity solved the problem of me being hungry. I wonder what would happen to the pizza sales and quality if it was only 50 cents and how many I would get? I say 6.
