Pizza hut is advertising pasta by weight. 3 pounds of pasta.

[AlCzervik]

if the weight of the food is the best thing you can say about the food you're selling then that's food i don't want to eat.

Hey it taste bad but there's a lot of it!

[rockymountaindem]

1. Isn't that how pasta is usually measured?

All my spaghetti packets say "1 lb" in rather large letters. Perhaps I'm just generalizing. Also, in this day and age, perhaps people are starting to prefer quantity more over quality.

Edit:

Also, since I've been dieting for *a year*, all those ads make me want to throw a brick at the TV. All that cheese... glllll.

[AlCzervik]

2. this is cooked pasta that they will deliver, not a box of pasta you buy at the store.

i think that advertising is just strange. The ad i saw didn't mention how delicious they thought you'd think it is, just about the quantity.

[Kutjara]

3. It's sort of the culinary equivalent...

...of the old tailor's slogan, "Never mind the quality. Feel the width!"

Any food sold by volume is suitable only for livestock.

[AlCzervik]

4. that's funny and spot on.

[smalll]

5. So you're an over-paid latte-liberal foodie, and you just HAD to let us all know it -

Clearly, you're in severe need of one of these --

Strangely enough, I'm old enough to remember when the Democratic Pary was the party of the little guy. :shrug:

[AlCzervik]

6. How much does that weigh?

[AlCzervik]

8. where the hell is the duck?

[smalll]

10. LOL -- sorry, the duck was mis-copied. That was for the young-womens'-voices thread I just started.

I was trying to post a medal here the whole time. Honest. :hi:

[LeftyMom]

12. It's totally possible to be poor and not eat food that tastes like shit.

:shrug:

[Fox Mulder]

14. I'm a "little guy"...

and a foodie, but I still have taste. I would never eat the shit Pizza Hut makes.

[frickaline]

33. I'm sorry but if you eat 3 lbs of anything in 1 meal, you are NOT a little guy.

[XemaSab]

7. You haven't been to the Grand Buffet in Redding

about 40 different "Chinese" "dishes", all sold by weight. x(

And yes, they all taste exactly the same. x(

[AlCzervik]

9. it's the same here but they aren't sold by weight.

orange chicken, Generals Tso's chicken and Peking pork all look exactly alike. I imagine they all taste the same as well.

[LeftyMom]

11. Why would anybody order that? How fucking hard is it to make pasta?

Jebus.

[AlCzervik]

13. But the volume, it's huge! throw in a few cubic yards of cheese and i'm sold!

seriously, i see the commercial and i cannot believe what i'm seeing.

[LeftyMom]

15. I've seen it, it looks like a warming tray escaped from Hometown Buffet.

:puke:

[AlCzervik]

16. that's exactly what i picture. The big tinfoil tray of pasta with a sterno can underneath

it to keep it's bulk warm. I bet the pasta is all stuck together as well.

[LeftyMom]

17. And so overcooked it's mushy

like the noodles in canned soup mushy.

25. At a meeting as an alternate choice to pizza

[1]

18. 3 pounds of pasta? appetizer. now how about a few meatza's...

yum...


or meatza's

[AlCzervik]

19. is a meetza a type of pizza hut product. Pizza hut sauce gives me really severe

heartburn so i don't ever get pizza from them.

[1]

20. no, a "meetza" is how i misspell "meatza"...

which is some kind of pizza joint's pie that will allow you to hear your own arteries clog as you eat it...

[PermanentRevolution]

23. Don't forget the P'Zones!

So called because I assume even Pizza Hut doesn't have the sheer gall to actually call them calzones.

[sasquatch]

21. What are the odds that Midlo fed it to her Midlets?

:D

[LeftyMom]

27. Not good, unless they deliver booze. nt

[sasquatch]

28. "Ok, that'll be one 3lbs serving of pasta and a box of Franzia"

"No we will not have the delivery boy try and hit the homeless looking people near the railroad tracks, Ma'am."
:rofl:

[bluesbassman]

22. He ate himself, to death!

I'm sorry, I thought this was a Spaceballs thread.

[JVS]

24. Pizza's are traditionally sold by how many inches it is and how many slices is generally known too.

This makes it ideal for something like a meeting were you need to feed X people. Since Pizza Hut is in this business and since pasta can easily be made at home by most people, I'd suspect that the reason that they mention the weight of the pasta is so that it is easy for people to know how many portions there are so that they know how many pizzas it is equivalent too when making such an order.

[pokerfan]

26. It's Pizza Hut

not the Olive Garden. :)

[JVS]

29. Why say how much it weighs when it's "All you can eat"?

[Lil Missy]

30. That can't be the same Pizza Hut I go to.

The one here is a very reputable establishment for many years. They don't only have the best pizza in town, but they also serve steaks, seafood as in lobster or crab legs, Italian dishes, fish, chicken dinners or fancy burgers. And yes, pasta. Refills of pasta are free.

[Doug.Goodall]

31. Is that the weight of the food, or how much weight a person will gain if they eat the food

Now this little beaut' here will put 3 pounds on your bum and an inch on your waist line.

[terrya]

32. 3 pounds of fettuccine alfredo

Try and wrap your thinking behind that.

[Orsino]

34. Refreshing honesty.

I'll know exactly how much weight I would gain.
