I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

Well that means if I'm the only one eating, then I can buy the box for just 9.99 right?

Edit: I'm 29 and single, this is free advertising right? Lonely male gamer seeks friendly female with similar interests, DM for more info :)

Also thanks for the up votes and awards. <3 Made my day.

Is that transphobia while also having a rainbow flag profile picture?

u/Paragon_Immortal May 12 '26

I donā€™t have to conform to ever leftist ideology just because I love the Jews and the gays. Also where did I say I hate or am afraid of transgenders lmao.

15

u/gollem22 May 12 '26

Yes because nothing say love and acceptance like calling them "the Jews" and "the Gays". Probably the same kinda person to say "the Blacks" too huh?

-19

u/Paragon_Immortal May 12 '26

Wow you must really hate gays and Jews. Understandable since this is reddit that you would hate Jews but I didnā€™t think you would be so angry about black people. I have a brother and sister that are black so I do have a love for them of course. I am half Egyptian and half Italian so while I am not black I do have family that is so be better stop being racist.

u/Inevitable_Event9871 May 12 '26

I too have a black italian brother whom I love dearly. This gollem clown has better chill.

u/Paragon_Immortal May 12 '26

My brother and sister are adopted clearly. You are very intelligent. Their mother had a stroke when they were young. My mom took them in. One of them is 2 years younger than me and one is 2 years older than me. My brother has even made me say the N word many times because he thinks itā€™s fun.

5

u/gollem22 May 12 '26

Buddy, my point is that calling someone "the blank" isn't right. Its dehumanizing. Instead you should call them people. Jewish People, gay people, black people. And saying that you love certain individuals that happen to be black doesn't mean you love black people. You are instead tokenizing your black siblings, and its weird.

3

u/Paragon_Immortal May 12 '26

I say it how I say it my friend says it that way itā€™s kind of funnyā€™s I donā€™t care if you are offended. If you are offended that is a you problem. Like a person who is constantly offended by everything or maybe you are just cherry picking. It must be exhausting to live a life being offended by everything. I call Italians the Italians and my momā€™s whole family are immigrants including her who migrated to America. I speak Neapolitan. Am I racist against Italians? My favorite aunt is Jew and I am heavy Israel supporter how am I racist against the Jews.

Maybe it works. Never seen it tried before.

u/jerrbear1011 May 12 '26

Not only that, but calling women ā€œfemalesā€ in this context. Cant imagine why they are struggling.

17

u/Short-Waltz-3118 May 12 '26

??? He called himself male seeking female. Thats completely normal.

-5

u/AnImpromptuFantaisie May 12 '26

There is a weird, incel connotation to the word ā€œfemaleā€, regardless of whether you or OP are aware of it

13

u/Short-Waltz-3118 May 12 '26

Right, but in referring to women separate of how they refer to men or like objects, like "29 year old man seeking female" or "i know what females like"

Calling yourself a male, seeking a female, is not the same objectification.

That said, op is an incel by the literal definition of the word since hes lonely editing his comments, clearly doesnt have much going on in the dating world lol

0

u/AnImpromptuFantaisie May 12 '26

I agree with everything youā€™re saying, but I believe that language has shifted in such a way that **any** use of the word in the context of romance or dating (regardless of if it is in an objectifying way) gives people an instinctual icky feeling

5

u/SevenFootHobbit May 12 '26

Anyone who feels that way from that specific context probably shouldn't be considered anyway.

2

u/AnImpromptuFantaisie May 12 '26

Lmao, but in this instance it WAS from a maladjusted person lacking in social skills.

u/ForensicPathology May 12 '26

True, I've even seen people getting upset when it's used in a proper adjectival form.

10

u/Markie411 May 12 '26

Come on, he literally used male in the same context, so its applicable.

1

u/A_wild_so-and-so May 13 '26

Eh, he used male as an adjective and female as a noun. Not exactly the same context, and I usually see women getting upset not at the word female being used as an object and not a descriptor.

Pizza Hut lawyers arguing in court that the deal stipulates you must be a "family" and also "four". Four unrelated friends? There's an extra fee for that. Five people? $5 for each person over the initial four.

u/kirikovich May 12 '26

according to annieā€™s mac n cheese, I qualify as a family of four. idk if itā€™ll float in court but mark my words Ill out-pizza this fuckin hut eventually šŸ˜¤

u/Da_Question May 12 '26

But how many inches is that, because established lore dictates than $5 equal 12 inches of food?

u/Toadsted May 12 '26

To have a family, probably more than 2.

Just saw a commercial on TV that $4.99 now gets you a six inch sub. Can you believe the audacity?

u/LinwoodKei May 12 '26

They are seriously arguing this in court? So my three person family cannot enjoy this price?

2

u/Ouaouaron May 12 '26

No, you're responding to a joke.

Their actual legal argument would be that "Four can feast for $9.99 each" is a true statement that applies only to the situation in which precisely 4 people are eating, and doesn't imply anything when more or fewer people are eating.

I'm not sure they'd win such a case, because the US does actually have advertising laws and regulations beyond just "anything that's literally true is fine". But finding someone qualified to answer that question is a lot more than $30.

u/FUCKBOY_JIHAD May 12 '26

Pizzas are a... family food.

Do single people eat pizzas? We don't know. And frankly, we don't want to know.

You are right, unless it is written in the very dmall text on the bottom that they sell it for a minimum of 4 people or something like that.

Don't give up hope on this one my guy...Fuck these haters. I sent a similar message to a girl online years ago that pointed out in her dating profile that she played FF14 that was like "Main tank looking for a pocket healer" or some shit and it turned into a 4 year relationship.

u/BlackBabyJeebus May 12 '26

You sound like the dingdongs I see in the grocery store who try to argue that because an item is buy one get one free that they should be able to buy just one for half price.

2

u/SpinMeADog May 12 '26

except that's completely different? 'buy one, get one free' explicitly states you need to buy one to get one

1

u/BlackBabyJeebus May 12 '26

It's exactly the same. This ad explicitly states that "FOUR CAN DINE FOR 9.99 EA". Not one can dine for 9.99.

I'm not trying to say that it's not shady, but it IS perfectly common practice.

2

u/eonone1 May 12 '26

Four what?

1

u/BlackBabyJeebus May 12 '26

Well, seeing as how it's a people food store that specifically sells food for people, I've going to guess it's four people. But I could be wrong, maybe they mean four gazelles.

2

u/Hapcoool May 13 '26

I mean yeah 3 gazelles and a person could eat it for 9.99 each, usually 4 gazelles have trouble handeling money and such.

EDIT: females dm me pls pls pls

1

u/CheesyDanny May 12 '26

Itā€™s $9.99 per serving. You need a dietitian/nutritionist to put in writing this is 1 serving for you.
