Your doorbell rings and you rush to it in excitement: it\u2019s the pizza man. You pay him, open the box, chuck out the weird round plastic thing in the middle \u2013 whatever that is anyway \u2013 and shovel that first slice into your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a tale as old as time and one we\u2019re likely to repeat for infinity but pause\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026you know the round plastic thing you just chucked out from your pizza box? The thing we\u2019ve all always chucked out \u2018cause it just gets in the way? It actually has not one but two<\/em> purposes and we are shocked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first you may know already: it stops the pizza from sticking to the top of the box. Clever, \u2018cause no one wants cheeseless pizza\/one that appears to have been scalped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But it\u2019s the second function that has really rocked our socks. The little white round thing is also used to stop us from touching other slices of pizza when pulling out the one we want. Revolutionary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We discovered this tidbit\u00a0via TikTok<\/a>. The video shows someone using the round plastic thing to pierce through one slice of pizza, holding it in place, while reaching for the one beside it. No having to touch both crusts, no having to pull them apart at the seam, no annoying your sister who asks if you washed your hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n \n
