Once upon a time, take-out pizzas came with a ball of dough in the middle. While their practical purpose was to prevent the cardboard box from sagging into the hot cheese below, childhood Carmi always found all sorts of other ways to play with the doughy mass. Good times.
As spreadsheets and bean counters took over the land, someone - who history shall keep anonymous for their own protection - decided dough balls cut into pizza profitability. So along came tiny little plastic table-like things to prevent the dreaded cardboard cheese meltdown.
Somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, sea turtles cringed and orca whales cried. If the plastic-addicted nature of modern society has a signature, it’ll be found here, in the middle of a medium pie with olives.
Well, the other day, we opened a pizza box and were greeted by a hockey net-like thing. It’s playoff season, so I’ll give the pizza meisters credit for being culturally aware. We do, after all, take our sportsing very seriously in the Great White North.
But it’s still plastic. Sea turtles still cringe, orca whales still cry, and I still miss my dough balls. I know I’m not alone.
Wait, maybe none of this is as trivial as I initially thought.
